Apparently my life is a lie and I’ve been using 1.6 as my crop factor for Fuji. It’s actually 1.52 which gives this lens an equivalent DoF and FoV of a 53.2mm f1.36.

I was curious as to why you cropped the apperture as I read that you shouldn't apply a crop factor to the apperture, but I think you're talking about only the DoF and not the amount of light, right? (which I guess would be the T-stop)​@@GxAce

The cinematography, the music, and the photography in your videos always make me feel like I'm watching a Blade Runner series. Excellent work!!

I found this channel only a short time ago. I got hooked by it immediately, because i like the style so much. It’s so different, so special. It‘s like a post-apocalyptic horror movie. Since I am exactly into this kind of thing, i enjoy watching these clips and i really admire the cinematic skills and effort to make them. I mean, this guy simply wants to present a lens and creates a short film with an unique look that could easily run in a movie theater. The quality of this channel is absolutely outstanding!

GxAce has redefined review videos. He is a great filmmaker as well as a photographer. Not to mention the sound design and music choices. Masterful. Nobody is doing anything like this anywhere.

I don’t even shoot Fuji anymore but I couldn’t stop watching this. The visuals and sound design of this video are just epic. Well done.

Indeed! I actually have the photo and cine version of that lens.

I always loved that you speak of these things in the past tense, as if you are in some distant dystopian Bladerunner future, melancholicaly longing for a nostalgic past. Its both somber and beautiful.

Those shots you took feel gritty, silky and bring a sense of emotion that is rare these days. Good job and please keep it up. We as photography enthusiasts need to see others at the top of the game...

Always a treat to watch your videos. The atmosphere, cinematography and sound design always on point!

I love the bokeh created by this lens. I feel like it adds more depth, as if the image is almost three-dimensional.

I continue to be in awe of your talent in cinematography, editing and production design. This was mesmerizing!

When a product review hits cinematic awe. As a photographer of 25 years and now a DP of eight years; I absolutely love your art. I have no clue why I haven’t been a Patreon member, gonna make that happen right now. 🙌🏼

This channel is a blessing to all Fujifilm shooters 😤

Always love your videos! Very inspiring!

Beautiful images! Thank you!

The only time I get goosebumps from watching a camera/lens review. Dude! Speachless... Every. Single. Time.

Always such a pleasure watching your videos. Every element is executed so masterfully, I always come away from each one with that deep full body warm glow you get in a theatre right at the very end of a great movie.

Your soundscape is as well designed as the video content!

Beautiful work!!

3:32 the color grading is stunning

Excellent and interesting video! I also love the detail with the light flashing in sync with the music at 5:25

i cant even put it into words how much i love your videos

Holy shit. The cinematography, the soundscape, and the photos themselves… Wow. Huge inspiration.

Phenomenal work, as always! Your photo composition skills are amazing 🤩

Absolutely killer videos! I'd love to see you build a cinema rig someday themed around this atmosphere/world that you've built for your videos. Seems like something that you could have a lot of fun with!

Gx makes the coolest videos and I always enjoy them no matter what gear they are about. However as I’m a very excited owner of this lens (about a month), I was particularly thrilled to see Gx having uploaded a video about the lens!!! 👍

Its always a good day when GxAce uploads! Merry Christmas Sir!

Loving the new setup.

I LOVE the fact that you are using the Fuji X-Pro line to demonstrate this demon of a lens! My Fujifilm X-Pro 1 is my go to camera still to this very day! Nothing beats the satisfaction of using the hybrid viewfinder! Plus the shutter sound is to die for and the original X-trans sensor inside the Pro-1 is still unbeaten for film-like quality imo.

I recognize that Cat Street. End graphic in Shibuya! I love the contrasts in that part of Tokyo, especially after dark. Never got tired of wandering around with my Nikon there.

I was just looking at this lens last week. Excited to see your review

Superb quality videos as usual

Merry Christmas bud, and keep these great videos coming in 2024!

LOVE your work man! Keep up the good work! HEAVILY influencing my creative process! Just started my KZread journey, but hoping I get to your level one-day dude!

So few channels focused on visuals use a phone's full aspect ratio. Every time you upload I run and grab my headphones, turn off the lights, and enjoy. I got my first camera because of your channel and absolutely love taking pictures.

Incredible images

Happy Holidays! Stay epic, and thank you for your gift of content. ❤️

I feel as if I've just watched a full fledged feature movie! Amazing production!

Thanks again for this awesome episode. This Nokton seems very interesting thanks to the electronic contacts. I really love my Mitakon Speedmaster 35mm .95 on my XPRO3, but the build quality is not the best. I had to disassemble it to tighten it because it was wabbling. By the way even on the fully manual Speedmaster I can zone focus, or manually focus and use focus peaking, and even zoom on the focus area whether in evf mode or hybrid evf. You just have to set up the xpro3 settings right, set it to manual (front dial) and set up the zoom shortcut. It works like a charm on any manual lens.

Legit some of the coolest images I've ever seen in this video, really would love to return to Japan

I have the 23mm 1.2 aspherical for the x mount. Really awesome lens, feels just like a modern version of my ltm nokton 50 1.5. If autofocus isnt a must, voigtlanders x mount offerings win generally over fuji in price, and in “character”.

Incredible.

Fantastic video!

I know nothing about Fuji camera, but I watch it for its sci-fi film look, amazing audio, lighting, and ambience. So unique, especially the "mask" and the vocal distortion effect.

Wonderful

Your channel is fking awesome, visually superb

Thanks!

Absolutely love your videos man, keep them coming. Oh and I think I like the previous mask better.. something more satisfying in its design with all the cords connecting to it.

this is fucking awesome please direct a movie i wanna see this universer that you've build on a cinema screen

Quality, as always.

I don't even care about the cameras in these videos but I just watch it for the video itself. Amazing work all the time man.

I was hoping you'd cover this lens. You did not dissapoint. I'd love to see you cover the other Fuji Voigties (esp. the compact 27mm), but of course, only cover what you're passionate about. We watch all your videos anyway, because regardless of subject matter, they're just that *damn good*. Merry christmas (or or whatever you celebrate, or if not: hope you have a great holiday)!

Yeah I'd like to see that as well. The 27 has tempted me as a small travel option. I've thought about the native Fuji 27 option but in borrowing lens I found the auto focus clunky at best. A manual option might be the way to go, especially since half my shooting is film on Minolta Rokkors at this point; would feel pretty natural.

Your movies are always stunning

Going to check it out

brooooooooooooooooooooo i love your artistry, it is amazing.

Honestly, that lens looks amazing.

Your videos make me wanna see a whole movie with your aesthetics...

Gorgeous video, luscious photos. And I thought my lens was fast... I just got back from a lowlight Christmas lights, portrait shoot with a manual 0.95f 50mm TTArtisan on my Fuji XT-5. Something even faster... f0.9 and 35mm, I'd say that's a dream for night street photography. That's a Speed Yōkai*! This flew under my radar. Looking at a late Christmas gift for myself for sure here. :)

The intro is bone-chilling!

Love the still at 4:12 its fantastic.

Is it me or did I just get chills watching a camera lens review ?

I WANT TO PLAY INSIDE YOUR VIDEO!!! The Cyber Dystopian vibe is amazinggggg

I don’t even want the lens, but I had to watch the whole video anyway. Always a pleasure to see your mesmerizing visuals and audio. When will you make LUTs available? I’ve been wanting to get some for a long time.

Another masterpiece

I have never been transported into an alternate reality while watching a product review. Made me feel uneasy and yet hopeful.

Superlative as always. Please please do a video about your film-making at some point. Your set design and lighting is fantastic!

you never disappoint

Great shots. I had an XPro1 then the Xpro2 which was a slippery slope to Leica where I have a fantastic Voigtlander 50mm F1.2 which is a special lens, but I also have the 40mm f1.2 which pairs well with the Xpro, a more compact yet still fast package

I left Fuji 3 years ago and this guy makes me want to go back - damn u GxAce!! 🤣

Congrats on the whole aura you've created, which in turn builds your vocal fanbase. I have to admit that I, too, also react when I see your stuff in the YT flow. Oh, it's that guy with the Blade Runner aesthetic. He's always got such great images and a clear opinion on the tech. And here it was also the case. In fact, this may have indirectly helped me with my decision on whether or not to dive (further) into the Fuji x-series. So, thanks for that.

I am an absolute beginner in photography. I am and I am not...I have been shooting with a phone for the last decade, apart from a compact camera which I still have. I just bought my first camera with manual settings - sigma dp 2 quattro and I am learning....the feeling of taking a shot is so satisfying sometimes...seeing the beauty and attempting to just grasp it in your own style. I just wanted to tell you that your videos inspire the tits out of me, your style is amazing! Some of your shots just tell a story in such depth. Your videos are beyond good and evil. It is like I am watching Blade Runner 2049.....Thank you!

I don’t know how you do these videos. The production quality is insane…
