Cheers!

The best way I've found to choose lenses is to start with one lens. Then you may notice that there are things you wished that lens did. Then choose the next lens to meet that wish

[imaaronross]

I agree! The 35mm f2 doesn't come off my camera when I go out for street photography. I love keeping things simple and minimal on the street.

I just converted from Sony to Fuji for everything but wildlife. I bought the 2 lenses you recommended - 35mm (f/1.4 instead of f/2) and 16-80mm f/4. Learned the basics of the Fuji camera, went to my daughter’s graduation, and took the best portraits and landscapes I’ve ever made, along with having the most fun shooting. Fuji is amazing, but you here already knew that.

Man - I can’t tell you what a massive help you’ve been. My wife and I are getting started in photography. We bought an X-T4 and the 23mm f2. Totally love it. Your X-T4 guide and all your videos have been massive for us.

Thanks for what you do.

[milakulaga]

I can’t believe that you’ve covered all my questions in one video! Thank you very much!

[funnybeingme]

35 f2 is the one that always stays on my camera. But for my starting kit, 55-200 is a must. Also I do have a 16 f1.4 but I find myself hardly using it.

Love your no-nonsense, frank and pragmatic delivery. Great info and just the right amount of humor - mating elephants!

[mrvizavizit]

I love the fact that the fujicron is so small and perfect for street photography.

[CookingWithCarby]

Thanks! Just upgraded to an XT4 with the 16-80 and now looking to expand my new collection!

As a novice just entering into the Fuji ecosystem, it took me hundreds of fuji lens reviews to answer to my questions. You just did it in less than 10 minutes. 🙏🙏 Subbed!

Roman, truly, this is one of a kind video talking about lenses (no matter which brand you are using) 👏🏻 great overview, quite practical and a honest opinion of yours! Loved that !!!

As has been said, just get your gear and go for taking photos anywhere & anytime. That's what really makes the difference: enjoying and having fun!!!

See ya, blue skies 🤙🏻🍀📸

I used to have 35mm f1.4. Id say you can never go wrong with it. Compact, image quality was 👌 but it was just too narrow for me. Sold it and went for 23mm f1.4 and never looked back. Only got settled with 2 lenses, the 23mm f1.4 and 18-55 f2.8-f4

[BrandonDavis]

Just bought an X-T3 and 35mm f2 so this video is super helpful for me!

[jsrainesphoto]

I was hoping you were going to say mating elephants at least 3 more times! Nikon shooter here. I purchased an X-T2 and the new Fringer adapter to adapt Nikkor lenses to Fuji. I am in love! A Fuji with a 200-500 is fantastic!

[scriptsandtags]

Thank you, I am used to my kit lens, i do a lot of street photography so i will start using my 35 mm more. SUBSCRIBED

Roman, for street photography, have you considered the Fuji X100V camera? One 23mm fixed lens, but has a digital teleconverter that allows you to shoot 50mm and 70mm. Fuji uses their interpolation software to enable shooting in 50mm and 70mm. I’ve blown up test images 100% and 200%, and can’t see a difference. When using the teleconverter you can only shoot in jpeg, but I don’t find that a disadvantage for street photography. I used to carry around by X-T2 with the 3 primes you mentioned, but now have replaced that set up with an X100V. As you may know, the X100V uses a leaf shutter, allowing flash sync up to 1/4000 of a second. Also has a 4 stop built in ND filter, and an EVF and OVF viewfinder. Amazing camera.

Own the 16-55mm, 16mm 1.4, 50-140mm, and 56mm 1.2.
I used to own the 16mm 2.8, 23mm f2, 35mm f2, 55-200mm, 50-230mm ii, and the awful (please be gentle lol) 16-80mm. I will never look back at the f2 versions. Although they were nice and compact, I cant go back to them. Something about the 1.4s, even as old as they are, wants me to keep shooting with them. The f2s are a great starting point but optically the 1.4s (and 56 1.2) are in a different league.

if you are mighty wildlife photographer, picture of elephants and i died 😂😂😂😂

[kevinburke]

Very useful. Sold my X-100V because there are times I ”need” a different lens. But I will stay in the Fuji family. I subscribed 👍
