While there's a lot to be said about brand loyalty from a cost-efficiency standpoint (not that adapters are that expensive, per se), it does make sense to pick a brand and go with their products for most of your needs. This helps streamline your workflows and ensures that all parts of your filmmaking process are optimized for one another.
That's why for this "Deals of the Week," we're looking at three XF lenses that would be ideal for Fujifilm caemras being used by videography shooters and filmmakers. These lenses range from fast prime lenses to versatile zoom options so you hsould be covered for whatever your video needs end up being.
Let's dive in.
FUJIFILM XF 33mm f/1.4
The Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR is a 50mm-equivalent lens known for its bright and fast f/1.4 maximum aperture. This design benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field for isolating subject matter and using selective focus techniques.
The optical design employs two aspherical elements, which reduces distortion and spherical aberrations in order to achieve higher sharpness and accurate rendering. Three ED elements are also featured, which reduce flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy. This ensures unmatched resolution and fresh, vibrant color.
