Fujifilm was the focus of our recent video where we compared two of its camera models: the Fujifilm X100V and the X-T5, equipped with the 23mm f/2.0 lens. This comparison isn’t just about the cameras themselves, but rather a deeper look and comparison between the lenses.
The Fujifilm X100V has taken a significant step forward, updating the lens for the first time since this series was introduced. This development piques the interest of photography enthusiasts, leading us to ask: how does the new lens on the X100V compare to the widely acclaimed and affordable 23mm f/2.0 lens, particularly when used with the X-T5? Our video focuses on this question, emphasizing the lenses over the camera bodies.
Both cameras boast unique features, but our comparison hones in on lens performance. The X100V, with its compact design and exceptional image quality, introduces a new dynamic with its upgraded lens. The X-T5, paired with the 23mm f/2.0 lens, offers a versatile and cost-effective option that many photographers favor for its balance of price and performance.
In the video, we examine various aspects of lens performance, including sharpness, bokeh effect, color rendering, and lens flaring. We also discuss the ergonomics and practicality of each setup, giving a well-rounded view of what each lens offers.
