yo what's going on friends this Jonathan and welcome back to another JC
production well I delivered your daily dose of hotness and in this video we're
gonna be diving deep into the Uncharted depths of Mount Fuji and taking a look
at the Fuji xt3 and I'm gonna show you that the auto focusing capabilities are
nowhere near as bad as what people make them out to be even when you adapt Canon
lenses so right now I don't have one I have two fuji xt threes recording me at
the same time over here I have a Fuji xt3 with an 18 to 55 kit lens this kit
lens is phenomenal don't let the fact that it's a kit lens like steer you the
wrong way it's a phenomenal lens in fact it's probably one of the best kit lenses
for any system ever made it's got great video auto focusing capabilities and its
really gonna set a benchmark for this test over here I have a sigma 18 to 35
adapted using a fringe ER pro adapter this is a canon lens and it's gonna give
you a good idea how each of these cameras perform against each other when
you have a native vs. adapted lens now on the back of this camera I also have a
DJI Osmo pocket mounted so you can see the screen of the camera and how iaf and
face AF is working you can see it's tracking my face you can see it's
picking up my eyes and it's working just like a native lens the reason why I did
this is that way I didn't hook up a recorder to either one of these cameras
so you guys can't say that one camera is having to work harder than the other
since one's recording internally versus externally everything is set exactly the
same the same profile this same exposure settings this same 200 megabits per
second sync both are in boost mode so everything is exactly the same so you
can see that these are performing really really close to each other ones adapted
ones native I don't know I'm really feeling the fact that Fuji can can use
adaptive Canon lenses really really well and I would almost go as far as to
actually you know I would go as far as to say that Fuji uses Canon lenses
better than a Sony system and we can do a comparison if you guys want to see it
to a 6400 with a sigma adapter so if you guys want to see that video you know
they did that thumbs up button leave me a comment down below but let's go ahead
and continue with this one got a little ball here you can see the adapted lens
is going to focus on this little basketball and then we'll move over to
the native lens it's gonna do the same now we'll back up a little bit you can
see both cameras are going to follow my face come forward and both cameras are
going to track my face forward and back so let's talk about the adapters that
I'm using all my Fuji camera in order to mount Canon lenses on the xt3 the
adapters were looking at come from fringe are in Ville trucks I'll leave
links to both of these adapters down in the description if you feel like
checking them out the fringe or adapter comes in two types you have a standard
model for 300 bucks and a pro model which retails for 340 bucks I picked up
the Pearl model because of better lens compatibility though is compatibility
and it not only has electronic aperture control but it also has a manual
aperture ring if you use Fuji cameras in the past then you know all the Fugees
lenses have a manual aperture control dial so being able to adapt Canon lenses
while retaining this capability is pretty huge plus it's awesome
the furniture adapter has an excellent sturdy build behind it and it features a
micro USB port for updating the firmware switching things over to the Ville
tracks adapter it comes in at roughly 220 bucks it also features a solid bill
with the micro USB port for updating the firmware which I had to do immediately
after receiving it it also features a tripod foot with 1/4 20 adapter that can
be removed with 2 screws on the bottom unlike the furniture adapter the build
truck's does not feature a manual aperture control ring instead it's
special trickery comes down to this glass element if you're familiar with
meta bones speed boosters and you know exactly what this is this glass element
will widen the field of view replicating a full-frame camera
meaning that if you use a full-frame 24 millimeter lens like this Sigma you'll
get a 24 millimeter field of view in return since the amount of light passing
through to the sensor is also increasing you're gonna gain an additional stop of
light turning an f4 lens into an F 2.8 all right so that's an overview of the
adapters that I'm using on the XT 3 let's talk about the XT 3 now when
see three was released to the public I picked one up and I gotta say the
autofocusing system definitely needed some updates like it wasn't reliable I
would agree with all of the claims that people are making about the xt3 now
however after their most recent round of firmware updates or ever since they
started pushing out for more updates to the xt3 they really have fine-tuned the
autofocusing system and improved it greatly and I would go as far as saying
that it's every bit as reliable as the autofocusing system on Sony cameras the
biggest difference is that Sony has more features like object tracking and Fugees
auto focusing system is pretty plain I mean you have like two different modes
to choose from plus you can enable iaf and face AF and
that's pretty much all you get so they definitely need to improve their
capabilities their feature sets and the overall system in that aspect but in
terms of it being reliable and if it's usable you guys can see for yourself it
is a very very good system they're using phase detection points not contrast base
like Panasonic and Olympus and I personally think they are doing a
fantastic job but that's enough of me just sitting over here babbling let's go
ahead and head outside do some tests I'm gonna test how loud the motor is on the
adaptive lens so that way you guys know whether or not you could put like maybe
a rode videomicro or rode videomic pro on top and if you're gonna get any noise
well test out both adapters we're gonna put the Fuji XT three on a gimbal see
how the adapter lens does in that aspect you know test out how well it follows a
face outside and the lights also doing some iaf so um yeah let's go ahead and
head out and do that this is just a quick test I have the rode videomic pro
on top of the Fuji XT 3 this is using the Sigma 18 to 35 in continuous
autofocus so that way you can hear the auto focusing
this is the same test except using the ville trucks speed booster adapter with
the Sigma 24 millimeter so here is what the continuous auto focus sounds like
when it comes to the performance of each of these adapters I would say the
fringe' performs the best and is the most consistent it tends to hunt less
than the bill trucks and it also supports oh is and all of the Canon
lenses that I tested the vill trucks adapter still works great especially for
the price the widen field of view combined with the extra f-stop make this
a great addition to your Fuji kit one thing to note is that the focus is not
as smooth and also the bokeh is a bit swirly compared to the fringe er the
1855 kit lens performs as you would expect for a native Lintz it focuses
much smoother and allows for more control within the settings to really
fine-tune the focusing speed that said I did have mini instances with a fringe or
adapter outperformed the 18 to 55 in terms of locking focus and not hunting
well my friends that pretty much does it for this video I'm gonna leave these
gimbal samples using both adapters with you I hope this video helped you in some
way and now you know the XT threes auto focusing system is actually pretty damn
good if you have any questions we're gonna see more Fuji contents make sure

hey yo I said it from the beginning I never wanted us to eat you said that we
could be friends I think that is what's up me here went into Russia I didn't
know I think about you but that's the thing about you make me wanna rap about
