Great vid as always. 23mm 1.4 is my all-time fav prime lens. I ditched the 16mm 1.4 since I struggled with the focal length: not wide enough for wide and too wide for everything else, I thought. But you really make the 16mm work you; I think these pictures are standouts among what is already a great crop. I’m in awe.

My 3 favorite lenses? I only have 3 so they are my top 3! 🙂 My favorite is the 23mm F2 - I just love the versatility of the focal length along with the super fast AF. I do mostly landscape/nature so it works well for that type of photography. But I also found it very useful for street photography and architecture. I was in Las Vegas a couple years ago and I spent the entire time in a casino or walking the Blvd. In all cases the 23mm F2 was all I needed. There's lots to take in inside casinos like the Venetian or Bellagio and the wide angle worked perfectly. Then on the street I used it to take in a full shots of the casinos (as cliche as that is it was a lot of fun to do). Then there's always something going on at the street level and this lens work well for capturing that. I spent several days in Las Vegas and all I needed was that one lens!

Absolutely love the 16mm f1.4 - I use it all the time for super close, more than my adapted macro lens. I have always loved the ambience it gives. Second would be the 90mm f2 - super lens for close up work - my favorite, much more than 58 f1.2. I don't mind standing back further!

Have all these lenses. The 56 is my favorite in quality, but it’s hardest to shoot with at that focal length. 16 is just amaaaazing but also can be too wide. 23 is my least favorite in optics, but stays on my camera now most of the time, it’s the best all around Fuji lens. Just really can’t go wrong with these 3 as a combo for all types of shooting. Great video.

I jumped ship from Sony APS-C to Fuji. Went with an X-S10, Fuji 23 f2 (new) and Fuji 56 f1.2 (used for $500). I’m coming from Sigma 16 and 30 f1.4 primes. For shooting run and gun photo and video of my kids the 23 f2 with the IBIS of the X-S10 is amazing. At first I was disappointed with the softness of the 23 f2 close up but then started to stop down a little and stay 3-4 feet away from my kids and everything just comes together nicely. I’ll use the 56 1.2 when I can be more intentional and take my time with the shots. Thanks for your amazing content. Really helped in my decision making process.

I think that, especially in fashion work, there's something daring about bringing the 56mm f1.2 to a job. The thrill of chasing the manual shot (bc that autofocus has me fucked up) makes me love the shots I nail. I think, given the tactile nature of the XT series, the "zeroing-in" on the lens makes a grab more rewarding even though the security of knowing that you got it is very low. That said, I definitely agree with your statements above. 23mm next pick up.

First ist the 16mm 1.4 because its very versatile, i like the look of this focal lenght and in some situations it's challanging. But i like this. Second lens is the 35 1.4. Here i like the character and the look wide open. Third ist the 50mm f2. I don't own the 56 1.2 at the moment but i like this too. It's small, fast sharp enough for me and fit wr and good micro contrast. Today i got the viltrox 85 mm 1.8 MK2. First shots looking good. But i have to do do some practice with it. So it's possible, that is a good focal lenght for me in the future. 😉 Thanks for all your good and useful content. Great work. 😀👌

I'm looking for a third prime now. Probably the 23mm f2. Also a big fan of the 16mm, but I'm waiting for the new 18mm.

Completely agree regarding the hunting and missed focus of the 56. It might be my favorite lens for what it produces, but it’s burned me multiple times where it looked sharp on the LCD but in post I could see that it missed. I’m a big fan of the short tele range (85 ffe), and while I’m not ready to pony up for the 50mm, I am curious. Other two favorite lenses are the 16mm 1.4 and the 35mm f2. I’ve not picked up the 1.4, but the f2 has been so good for me that I’ve just not found the need yet.

Nice! Landscape, travel, street and portrait.

But since I saw your chain, I think of XF 23 mm 1.4 although I also think of XF 70-300 ...

I'm a Fuji sport photographer, so my favorite lenses are the 50-140 and 100-400. Few weeks ago I bought the 50 f1.0, and tried it in basketball games. I think it works good, and the bokeh is really interesting.

The 16 1.4 is on the top of my list as well. I can't describe what it is. It's one of those lenses that you can just fall in love with after spending time with it. Personality? Character may be? Really can't explain it pretty much like when you met someone you wanted to spend your entire life with. 23 1.4 is a very good lens. However, I found myself reach over and grab the 35 1.4 more often for some reason. The 23 1.4 can be a nice walk around lens tho sort of like your sister that you love very much but you don't have to spend so much time with but you do get along. The 56 1.2 is my most reliable lens, when it can focus correctly. I said that because I haven't get any bad photos from this lens since I bought it 6 years ago. But it's one of those lenses that only work when you have time to focus. Don't expect the lens to just grab the subject in split second. If you just carefully focus on the subject, you're guaranteed to get a breathtaking photo. The 50 1.0 is nice but I don't know if I really need it. At least not now.

Terrific video! My thought about 56mm f1.2: I attempt to gain the best of both worlds: using 56mm in bright static portrait shots, and switching to 50mm f2 in quicker-paced [regardless of light] or lower light-with-flash shots. 50mm f2.0 is incredible for such usage. Yeah - 50mm f1.0 could be amazing, but it's SIZE, WEIGHT, and COST are such that I simply won't even try it. Well done!

The lens size doesn’t really bother me that much for the 50mm F1.0. FujiFilm always have smaller alternatives if you need something light weight, but you just need to be prepared for that F-stop penalty. As most my photography is in low light and without a flash, I usually stick to the bigger aperture lenses (f1.0, and f1.4).

The aperture doesn't bother me at all as I would use it for street photography where I am at f5.6-f8 most of the times anyways. Thanks for the answers to both of you! :)

my favorite lens is the classic canon FD 50mm f/1.4 because it is the only lens i owned...

Haha nice!

Wow.. What am excellent video.. Super thanks.. Which would you recommend for bridal makeup shoots full of vibrant colors please..? 50mm1.0 looks a dream lens, but dont have availability in India and probably this will be 2-3 times the cost of 35mm 1.4..

56 1.2 or 90 f2

16mm1.4, 35mm1.4, and possibly the 50mm1

Awesome video Reggie! Would you recommend these lenses' viltrox counterparts for wedding as well? I'm a bit tight on the budget 😁

Great content! For a beginner like me who just pre-ordered X-T4 (my first camera) a day ago, what lens would you recommend best pair with it knowing that I still have to get-to-know my xt4 moreso with photography. What would be my 3-in-1 lens (for now) that can do portrait, landscape and video before I invest on specific lenses. Thanks.

18-55 2.8-4 or the 23 f2 or 35 f2 would be solid options

lol, thanks Dave

great video...but now I'm worried. I was going to get a 56 1.2 for night street and wedding/portrait work, but your comments on the focus performance of this lens in low light give me pause. Am I better off with the Viltrox 56 1.4 and take a hit on the minor reduction in optical performance? this would be less noticeable than missing focus in the moment imho. You might think that the 50mm f1.0 might be answer and yes it may be - but its just too expensive at the moment ($1800 in UK).

It will do fine as you’ve seen all the examples I showed for the 56 1.2

23mm f/1.4, 35mm f/2.0, and the 56mm f/1.2!

Is the autofocus of the 56mm v1 quick enough for moving subjects with xt4 or newer?
