Fujifilm X-T3 Significantly Improves AF Speed of Older Fujinon Lenses – VIDEO

Fujifilm X-T3 Autofocus

Dylan Goldby compared the performance of three “older” Fujinon lenses on the Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-T2.

  • XF 35mmF1.4 (min 3:18 on X-T3 and min 4:44 on X-T2): Used on the X-T2, it takes more time to lock focus and hunts more. On the X-T3 it is definitely faster and no hunting.
  • XF 23mmF1.4 (min 5:25): This lens seems to benefit the most from the new X-T3
  • XF 56mmF1.2 (min 6:33): X-T3 locks on things more confidently, the X-T2 tends to hunt around and miss
  • Tracking (min 10:25): X-T3 is a big upgrade. Much more keepers
  • Face/Eye detection (min 12:59): works very well. Only thing when the person moves out of the frame, then gets into the frame again from a different distance, then it needs more time to find the face again.

Fuji X-T2 at Hockey Game: “I Never Used My Canon 1Dx That I Brought As Insurance”

X-shooter and FXF member Matthias46 was out for an official work with his brand new Fujifilm X-T2. His job? Photograph a Hockey Game. I’ll let you see the images here at the Fuji X Forum and just share his feedback regarding the AF-speed:

“First official work. I’d say is pretty pretty good. I need more experience in tweaking the Autofocus to my liking, but with the Universal one the behaviour is really good! Never used my Canon 1Dx that i brought as insurance.”

If you have any questions for Matthias46, drop them here.

Another one, who seems to be extremely satisfied with the X-T2 AF-performance is Bob Roman. In his video he says:

“I took a sequence of pictures of Samantha. It was a burst of 54 images using the XF56mmF1.2 @ f/1.2. I had the camera in face/eye detect [NOTE: this disables the faster Phase Detection], continuous Autofocus, and this burst of 54 images, 51 were in focus!

Now she was walking towards me, not a particularly difficult task, but what’s important to notice is that I was shooting with the XF56mmF1.2 lens, not one of the fastest AF-performers amongst the Fuji lenses. I was also shooting wide open at 1.2! As you can see, the camera performed exceptionally well! [NOTE: This performance has been achieved without vertical battery grip]”

Ok guys, I slowly start to be cautiously optimistic, that the Fujifilm X-T2 Autofocus is really quite a big step forward compared to the X-T1.

OK, so Fuji XT-2 is incredibly responsive and easy to use but what about the image quality? I am happy to report that the image quality in terms of resolution is a step forward over the XT-1 in that it delivers more detail. The dynamic range – though I have not had chance to test this back to back – seems to be better too.”
  • X-T2: 4K Movie Function at fujifilm-x: “The AF algorithm has also been optimized for movie recording. The algorithm is well tuned so that the transition will be very smooth, and will keep tracking on the subject quite well.”
