I absolutely love having an X100 in my kit again. It really is a great camera for me and the way that I like to shoot.

[O]verall, it's a technically very good lens and I've had no issues working with it at all.
[H]opefully there'll be some upgrades to the firmware to increase the accuracy of that lightning fast autofocus, but aside from that, this is a lens that I would have absolutely no issues recommending.
In my opinion, Fujifilm has really knocked this one out of the park.
[I]t does take away aperture control and other creative options like filter use, which is a really big negative for me. But, if you're not interested in those things and just want a tiny lens to have on a very small camera body, I find no reason at all not to recommend it.
This third installment in the Viltrox AF 25mm f/1.7 Air series is, in my opinion, the best one they've made to date.
For now though, I really can't see any good reason, especially if budget is a concern, not to add this lens to your Fujifilm kit.
If you don't want a manual focus, you don't mind the lack of weather resistance you don't need the shallowest depth of field possible, and just want a snappy, sharp, and ultra portable lens, it's really hard to go wrong with the Viltrox 56mm f/1.7.
My struggles with getting a reliable copy aside, the Fujifilm X-T50 is actually a really interesting offering from Fujifilm.
So that basically sums up my feelings for the Fujifilm X-H2S; it's an absolute powerhouse, but it's not an enjoyable experience. It doesn't inspire; it's just a means to an end.
To wrap up, this is a very large and heavy lens that produces extremely sharp images and very good bokeh air when you want it.
Honestly, I'm very very surprised at how much I enjoyed working with such a wide-angle prime. And I'm also very very surprised at the results that have come from it.
[N]ow that I've had it for a month or so, I'm absolutely in love with the size, the weight, and the price-to-performance value that this lens has to offer.
Okay, so another super fun lens from Laowa in the Argus 25 f/0.95. Now, if you're looking for a a slightly wider field of view than the 33 but still want that super fast aperture that will allow you to not only separate subjects, but have some sort of interesting rendering to it.
It's a tiny little prime that just encourages you to look for wide-angle compositions. And so, for me, that's money well spent in my books.
I'll be honest here and say it's actually going to be the Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR. This lens has improved on all of those things without really sacrificing, in my opinion, the quality of the images that comes out of it.
As you might have noticed from the way that I've been talking about this lens, I've really, really enjoyed my time with it, and basically the only thing left for me at this point is to convince my wife that I need to put 500 into a new lens at this time.
This has become a much more usable handheld photography machine.
Having said all of that, was it worth the upgrade for me? I think I mentioned this briefly in the beginning of the video, but for me it's a resounding yes.
