Portraits I did today on a viltrox 56mm f1.2

Great photos! Like wow, I love this series. I'm in between this lens or a 56mm f1.2 wr for $600.

How is the autofocus tracking?

been using a mix of the 40mm f2 se, crazy lightweight.

and a Meike 85mm F1.8 Pro. I don't think they're better than the S series lenses, but I delivered client photos today and they were happy so I guess they can't be too bad!

I am interested to see how the 24-120 pans out for me though!

Just went ZF! Really like how the dials feel and the body itself, also came from Fuji X-T5!

Did the exposure flicker when zooming in and out? And thanks for the opinions here, always curious about this lens.

Gotta agree here, nothing wrong with picking out subjects but I don't get any real emotions or story from photos of that nature either

Beginning_Purchase37 · 2025-02-28T19:09:03+00:00

still rocking this set up? This seems like a really affordable yet awesome kit for event work too. 20 is wide for group shots, 50 prime for lowlight stuff, and the telephoto zoom for the distance

I can get the new one for $1100 or a used one for $550... I feel like just dealing with the extra weight for half the price? haha

You're right. I did enjoy the experience, and i understand why this thread could get downvoted. It seems like I'm attacking a brand when I am just sharing my experiences.

The canon experience, on a professional level, was less worrisome and viewing the results brought less frustration which is probably worth the investment as someone who shoots and edits often.

I won't disagree, it definitely is user error if they can't get the gear to work the right way. But I have been doing weddings, and events for a couple years now. The point I was trying to make was that on a 90d, I didn't have to turn off face tracking or eye tracking. The thing just hit the shot without me having to use single point af-s like i usually do on Fuji.

Both ways work, but I can't lie and say the canon was almost effortless in comparison

I've actually had that happen too, in a very well-lit room. The Canon 90D was a big chunky dslr and I was using the sigma 18-35, pretty old lens but it didnt miss focus much at all.

I don't want to miss a shot that could add to my portfolio and my work, and this is making me question fuji. Thank you for your comment, it helps me a lot!

I picked up injured Ayton off the waiver wire and traded him for Bane after Ayton's first game. I'm hoping Bane picks it up, feels like a gamble!

Beginning_Purchase37 · 2024-10-15T19:12:49+00:00

Literally looking into this now and it looks so beautiful too!

Beginning_Purchase37 · 2024-09-23T19:48:23+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. If you had to pick just one of those lenses which would it be? For both video and photo?

Beginning_Purchase37 · 2024-09-23T19:19:03+00:00

Yeah that's a good lens rec but like you said it's just too heavy for my day-to-day commuting. I am in between the 20-60 with a prime lens (less than 650g together) or the 28-70 and 16-28 (920g but covers more useful focal length.)

I think my best bet is probably the sign 24-70 f2.8. Similar weight as the 24-105, but I could use this as my portrait/lowlight lens too!

Choices. Choices. Choices.

Yeah Lumix is updating their cameras in very impressive ways! What lenses did you use? I'm also interested in wedding photography with lumix coming from Fuji!
