I am about to PX my X-T4 for an X-H2. I have the original 16-55, plus 18,23 and 35 primes.

i read there is an issue using the original 16-55 on the X-H2 with the.40mp sensor.

is that something I need to be particularly concerned about. I am just an amateur photographer using Fujifilm’s for landscape and holidays.

any advice appreciated.

many thanks

Graham

Thanks for the replies. I didn’t explain myself properly before. So this is what I am concerned about.

I have an X-T4 and recently purchased a mint 16-55 mk1 lens. Checking on YouTube I saw videos saying that this lens does not fully ‘resolve’ with a 40MP sensor camera and I had been looking to upgrade the X-T4 to an X-H2.. It looked like there was slight blurring particularly in areas near edges of the images. 

I guess some YouTube influencers are always looking for the next subject to create a video on, and could publish lots of videos about pixel peeping.

So my concern is whether this is really an issue? I do not want to buy the latest Mk2 lens, so if there is an issue I would stick with the X-T4.

Any user experience on using the X-H2 with older lenses such as the 16-55 Mk1 would be appreciated.

many thanks

Graham

Those answers are stupid AI, this is the weirdest forum ever.

There isn't an "issue", the lens is fully functional. Fuji are just saying that they don't believe the lens fully resolves the 40mp sensor. It will still look better on the 40mp sensor than it did on the previous sensors.

I used this lens a little on the xh2 and xh2s and more recently on an xt5. I saw the new one today when I was picking up a loan lens and whilst it is definitely lighter in my hand and I am told might be slightly better optically, I wouldn’t dream of changing. The first one is great and meets my varied needs but like anything else, it’s entirely up to you. Personally I tend to ignore the influencers. No disrespect, but they’re just not for me. Also some people don’t like the xh2 design so you might want to consider that before moving from xt. Personally I’m happy with both xh and xt bodies. I haven’t had the pleasure of an xt4 but I understand it’s a great camera. I suppose it depends on what you want to do with it. Hope this helps a little. Ultimately it’s your money and your choice.

Love the original, meets my needs perfectly New isn’t always necessary

      Fujifilm X-T50 Film simulation confusion

      By ruralrelic · Posted

      Example: I am using a custom recipe, and I then use the film simulation dial to select a simulation. Are values from the custom recipe carried over, such as highlights, shadow, and white balance etc.? After studying the articles in Fuji X Weekly, this appears to be the case If you set a recipe on one of the C slots its settings will be applied to all the film simulations on the dial. The workaround is to use your 'standard' recipe at C1.   Please clarify this for me . I would have thought the film simulation dial would have no input from other camera settings.   Thank you - Very Confuded!

      Camera clicks twice after taking one shot

      Is this on the X-T30 II? Sounds like you have HDR selected in the shooting menu. The other alternative when you see the "storing" message is that the Clarity setting is non-zero but that doesn't cause multiple clicks.

      what happened to Capture One?

      By mcewena · Posted

      My XS10 came with a Capture One license but my PC at the time would barely run it so I stuck with my ancient version of Picasa.  Bought a new PC and my old Capture One has been deprecated and fuji site only talks about a 3 month trial.  Is there a work around or should I be looking for something else?

      On aperture priority and single shot, camera clicks twice after one shot and then takes several seconds showing "storing" message.  This is a new camera and did not do this at first.  Does not do this on auto.

      Macro Lens Buying Advice - Tech/Product Photography

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I have the Fuji 80 mm macro and really like it. It's very sharp and I use it for macro but also for general photography. If you find yourself zoomed to 55, this may land in the right spot. Also, this lens is very good with magnification distortion (pincushion or barrel), which is probably important if you're doing product photography and the product has straight lines. It is autofocus. I hear you don't prioritize that, but there's something else you gain when you have autofocus. You can combine multiple photos taken at slightly different focus distances, using stacking software, and autofocus lets the camera automate the process of taking all these, using focus bracketing. It even calculates how much the focus should change between these exposures. This lens, new, is above your stated budget. Maybe you can find it used? In any case, options are always nice to have, and others may like this option too. So, just a thought. One more thing: I've never used the Laowa macro you mention, but I do have their circular fisheye. I love circular fisheyes, and also have two other brands, and comparing them I find the Laowa is considerably better than the other two. That's a vote for Laowa.
