I’ve tried out a number of Fuji lenses and I’ve sold a few. My top pics are now the 18 1.4 LM the 23 1.4 LM the 33 1.4 LM. 50 F2 56 1.2 WR. 90 F2, 16–55 2.8.
Sold the 10-24, hardly ever used it. Sold the 50-200, too soft.
My three favorite lenses have now become the 18 1.4, the 33 1.4 and the 56 1.2 WR. I’m mostly doing street with the primes. For the lenses without linear motors, I would suggest using the limit focus at 6.5 to infinity, I find it speeds up the auto focus quite a bit. You don’t end up with the hunting problem.

My top lenses are 23mm f/1.4 WR (favorite focal length), 30mm macro (fun & pocketable with great chromatic aberration control, although mid-frame & edges do get soft), 56mm f/1.2 WR (love the sharpness & bokeh that looks a little hyperreal), and possibly 18mm f/1.4 (nice & sharp, but not sure yet if it's right for me).

Lenses that I don't use often or sold are: 16mm f/1.4 (love the focal length, but thick chromatic aberrations ruined a number of shots), 33mm f/1.4 (got outshined by the 56mm), 80mm macro (too big, but I love the swirly bokeh you can get with foliage for portraits), 16-55 (too big).

I've been curious to try the 70-300, the images you've shared from it are always beautiful. 😊

I love my 16-80! Picture quality seems just as good if not better than other primes I have and it's such a versatile range, going from wide to lower end of telephoto in a somewhat compact package. It's a little heavier than I would like but it's the "do it all" lens I reach for most. Maybe you weren't excited by yours since you have other zooms that cover most of the same focal range that are already in your collection, but I think it's the most versatile lens pick for someone starting a collection from scratch.

everybody would make a totally different playlist, but the interesting thing is why ?
Because a lens is a tool, there is no perfect tool but there's always a right tool.
Always cool content man! :)

If I had a 40 mp Fuji camera the first lens I would buy would be 23mm 1.4. By cropping you can have different focal length. For portrait I would get the 56mm and 90mm. 50mm f2 would be useful for street photography

As far as the XF16-80 it’s as you mentioned, many conflicting reports on it, maybe I just got a good copy, but I’m more than happy with the results (image quality) that I get, most of the negatives that I hear on the lens are issues when focusing in video mode. The XF23 f/2 is my everyday carry on my X-T1 (it’s my X100VI wannabe🤣), For my X-T4 my favorite prime is the XF33 f/1.4 and my favorite zoom is the XF70-300. Be well.

Great video! I’ve got the viltrox 75mm 1.2 and it’s amazing has anyone got it?

[mikefoster]

I think the choice is pretty psychological. I love my 33m f1.4, even though I'm not very good at it yet, because I love attempting strong compositions with its natural look

I don't want the crutch of 's*xy distortion and wallpaper backgrounds' from shorter focal lengths or 's*xy bokeh and background exclusion' from dedicated portrait lenses.

I want to have to treat the background like a second subject, because it's close but not so close that you can't see it properly.

[kselmane]

I find myself using 16mm and 33mm f1.4 as my main setup when I travel.
I need to get hold of the 70-300 to complete this setup for longer trips.
23mm f2 is my everyday lightweight carry.
I was wondering, have you tried the sigma 10-18 ? I'm thinking of carry it for travel and hikes if it is any good.
Otherwise great content, you're one of the reasons I bought the 33.

It might be worth it to change the title to "Ranking All Fujifilm X Lenses" -- here I clicked thinking you were covering the GFX offerings as well!

[skdvknm]

Did you try the original 56mm f1.2 on a recent body? Going from the x-s10 (where it felt more miss than hit below f2 and like you were fighting tje lens), to the xt5, it is a completely different focusing experience (now eye tracking works like a charm -and that was on fw 2.0).

This is includes 'fast' portrait subject that fidget like anything (i.e. my 1 to 5 years kids)

[ThierryGibralta]

So what do you think about my tier list?

[martinpickard]

I’m a fan of the older lenses…..18 f2….35 f1.4……56 f1.2 and in the process of getting the 90 f2…..all these on my xpro2…..really good fun to shoot with, everyday….

[redjbari]

This is the best all Fuji lenses rating video. Thx

[cottoncandyfai]

I wonder you put new 23 f1.4 and f2 on the same tier 😅

I've just moved to Fujifilm recently, and got 18 f1.4 and 33 f1.4 (happy to see them on S tier)
For lighter day, I'm researching between 23 f2 or 27 f2.8 (can't decided yet)

[juliette-mansour]

Salut Thierry! I like these kinds of videos. I know it's subjective but... we seem to agree on all the lenses almost perfectly (at least the ones I have). The only difference is that the 70-300mm I would give as an "S". I think it's stellar! I need something wide and was thinking of the 16mm 1.4 but concerned how it will be with my XH2s. Thank you.

[Iamtongue]

Haha your list is a little different than mine 😅 good list though!
