Fuji vs Sony Lenses

[matteo]

Hey there, 

 

Before I switched to the Fuji System (X-T2) I was using Sony E-Mount (A6000) with many lenses. 

My Idea was to use the X-T2 for "bigger" lenses and the A6000 for smaller primes and the 10-18.

 

So I made a short (non scientific) comparison of some lenses...

Test conditions inside:

• levelled Tripod
• both OIS off
• 10sec self-timer
• 6 shots p. Aperture 3x AF/ 3x MF (best result of them...so mainly MF)*
• Base ISO100
• Distance +/- 2m-3m
• RAW files imported in LR (100% NO EBV)
• AWB (Sony is a bit darker because of the clouds coming up an hour later)

*Sony MF pics were much better than AF. Fuji AF/MF pics were looking almoust the same

 

So let's start:

Fuji XF18-55 vs Sony SEL35F18

Fuji left / Sony right 

CENTER

 

LEFT CORNER

 

My Conclusion: 

Center-sharpness is almoust the same when you add a bit more contrast to the Sony pics

Corner-sharpness is almoust the same...(in my eyes Fuji looks a tick sharper)

 

The winner for me is the Fuji XF18-55:

• sharpness on the same level (zoom vs fixed lens!!!)
• Sony has very slow and loud AF

 

next review comming soon...

It says "You do not have permission to view this image" when I try to view the images

well, I seem to have this permission, because I see them just fine.

 

There are many such tests, some tell us similar things some tell us otherwise. I like Fuji cameras and don’t like Sony’s, lens come with the camera which is the thing that determines a pleasurable experience in shooting it, or not, but nobody and no camera is perfect. 

 

The thing with digital images is that variables are great and number and end results are greatly varying by means of tiny variables.

 

So there can be results that are contradictory, resolution of a text is not the same as resolving grass or foliage or clouds some would object.

 

I have made my choice already.

Ohh, now OK?

FUJI XF100-400 vs SEL70200

As I told already...there's a diff. in AWB because there were some clouds an hour later...don't let you cheat by the "darker" Sony image... 

 

Fuji left Sony right

100mm F4.5 Center

 

200mm F5.0 center

 

200mm F5.0 left corner

 

400mm F5.6 center

 

Conclusion:

I was quite impressed of the Fujis corner sharpness: I mean it's a APS-C lens...Sony is FF. 

Also wide open is not a problem for Fuji.

 

In both tests so far, the vantage was on Sonys side (fixed lens vs zoom / 2.9x Zoom vs 4x Zoom) So should be an easy "win" for Sony. The SEL70-200 was beside my SEL50F18 one of the sharpest lens...now I sold it
