frontfocus Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 15 hours ago, KnowsNothing said: Thanks, i’m assuming this is the mark ii? And is the lens capable enough to be one’s main prime, or is it too niche? I really like the look of it. Weight is a bit of a concern but it’s so small, how problematic can it really be. yes, it's the mk ii. It ways a bit, but it's relatively compact. Fells like a small rock ? If it can be your main prime depends on what you are doing. For photography shooting it wide open in daily situations is a bit problematic even with all the manual focus aids. But it has that special look to it. For video I love it, since the manual focus is just nicer than most fly by wire lenses. And as said, it has a stepless aperture. Personally if I were to get just one 35mm for Fuji, it would be the f/2.0 since it has autofocus and is nearly silent. But I prefer the combination of Mitakon and Fuji f/1.4 ?

Snowbro Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I keep wanting to get this camera because of the awesome 4k image it can produce, but I can't get over the available lenses. I want to use their 16mm 1.4, 23mm 1.4 etc.. but they are loud and have bad AF performance in video from the hours of test/review videos I have seen. Supposedly the newer f2 versions work better, but who wants to buy primes that are equivalent to f/3-3.8 (depending on shooting mode)??. Might as well just use a zoom, but they are also quite slow. Why doesn't fuji update their faster primes? Too bad sigma doesn't make lenses for them, you could get some 1.4's under $400, instead of old, slow, loud $1,000+ apsc lenses by fuji.

What do you mean depending on the shooting mode? It was never a big deal to me as I've never shot full frame. A f2 prime is an F2 prime for me. I'd suggest waiting on Sony. They'll releasing the A7000 soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they will update their faster primes soon, but that isn't what I saw on a "roadmap". I just want a smaller camera with 10 bit; I would not be surprised if canon & sony do not put any form of 10 bit in theirs for 2 years.

Autofocus doesn’t always work on all lenses. So I sent it back. I’m waiting for the fringer ef-fx pro to test it. thephoenix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A crop doesn't take away light, so its still F2 regardless of 120p or 60p. But I am guessing you mean DOF? Sony is supposed to come out with the A7000 with 10bit and IBIS.

It's not dead silent and you can hear it while pulling focus, but if you are not recording in absolutely silent rooms with the integrated mic, it probably won't be a problem. The 23mm f/1.4 is a bit louder, but with an external mic it's not really a problem. And while it's not the fastest lens, it's not slow either, especially not on the X-T3. Fuji has their f/2.0 lenses which I recommend to people shooting video primarily, but personally I am using the f/1.2 and f/1.4 lenses only. Never had a problem with them and I love their rendering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the Fringer has worked great, with very good lens compatibility. thephoenix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MKX lenses are awesome. They are the one single thing I miss the most about the Fuji X-T3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do agree with some of this statement. I own the 16-55 and it is stupid fast and sharp and dead silent. Its a bag of primes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Has anyone tested the 200mbps All-I 2K? I must say, I think this camera may be the best camera available right now for the price and output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
