X-T30 III | Lens Comparisons - Sizes/Weights and Sample Photos
I know people often value the Fuji cameras for their pocketability and portability and often shy away from bigger bulkier lenses, but I find myself not really caring about the size of my lens personally.
I just wanted to share some pics of my X-T30 III with some bigger lenses so people could get an idea of how they look and feel before buying it themselves. I will say that these lenses are definitely not "pocketable" - lord help us all if you have pants pockets that can contain these beasts lol. However, they are still portable, especially if you find a well made and fashionable (subjective I know) strap - I rock the Pgytech Air Neck Strap and I usually sling across my body instead and let my camera hang like a handbag.
Anyways, that enough on the lenses, time for the photos! I used a tripod and kept the position the same because I wanted to highlight the "level of zoom" for each of the lenses. I used 35mm (nifty-fifty in FF) as a starting point. I shot in manual mode and kept the aperture as wide as it could go and the ISO level locked at 1000 for consistency. I adjusted shutter speed as necessary but my subject was a good girl and didn't move which should keep the sharpness levels consistent. I shot all 4 photos in manual mode with a 0 for brightness and using the stock Classic Chrome film simulation with no flash.
Photos were edited in Canva to add the banner and Reddit has compression as well so these won't be perfect examples for "pixel peepers" also the X-T30III only shoots at 24MP - tempted to upgrade to an X-T50 but that a different topic lol. But from these photos, I do love the look of the Viltrox Pro lenses. I think they add a bit of warmth and the bokeh and details, especially in the 56mm, is beautiful. I have a few weddings coming up this year and I am very excited to see how it performs.
