waiting VILTROX 23mm 1.4 review from you
Thank you for your time, Ken. I have both now. Viltrox: really affordable in comparison and fantastic results. Totally worth it. Great for video. Firmware updates. The lens has improved. Now the changes of the clickless aperture are almost smooth during recording. Fuji 35: Mine is sharper than the Viltrox and yes, I definitely can see that fantastic image that is very well known. You can use it for video, but it’s not a video lens. If you know the lens, you can get good results. I love the size. In Europe: Viltrox 295€, Fuji 520€. You choose.
İf you drop the camera, metal lens hood transfers shock directly to lens which causes breakdown the lens. Whereas plastic lens hood absorbs shock and prevent lens from breaking down. Like the plastic car bumper
just received mine. updated the firmware. wonderful.
As always, thanks so much for the informative review - this is one of the very best educational channels on TH-cam!
I NEVER buy a lens until I hear from you.
How would you rate this lens vs the fujinon 35mm f2? Thanks
Honestly with the xc option now I don't think I'd go for the viltrox tbh
@@rezzoc91 Viltrox over XC for build quality and extra stop of light. Almost as sharp at F2 as well
You seemed to have mellowed out, man. More calm. That’s great I find your show a lot more enjoyable this way. You’ve always known your camera talk, now that’s the main focus,. Very cool. I recently picked up the Fuji xc f2 for 160 bucs brand new so getting the viltrox for low light and just a different look is not bank breaking. I’ll have a lite weight Fuji 35 and a low lite beauty beast for less than the price of the Fuji 1.4. I gotta get the 85 first though. Hopefully viltrox will come out with a version 2 by then. Good review!
Serious contender for Fuji 35mm lenses. I still need to get that nifty-fifty lens, would be pretty ideal in many cases.
Ken hello, have you compared it with the fuji 33 f/1.4. ? As far as quality is the 33 better than the Fuji 18 f/1.4 ? Thanks Ken, take care
I would say the value of the XF 35mm 1.4 is in its unique character, which is why it's so beloved. Have to see a lot more samples to really see if this lens can compare.
ITS OVER TWICE THE $$$$$$$$$ HOWEVER
Nice! Ordered mine last week after your initial review. Excited to find out more about their other two upcoming lenses.
What’s wrong with onion rings? They taste good.
The Empire Strikes Back! Fujifilm 33mm f/1.4 is out now. My theory is that the Fujifilm engineers watched this review, knew you were right, and set out to build a better Vlltrox.
I'll be interested to see your review.
PS: You need a new "perk level icon" for the 3-year members, which I will be in a month.
Ken, I really appreciate your informative reviews.
Is Viltrox color saturation comparable to that of Voigtlander 40/1.2, and would you also rate Viltrox 33mm as a "microcontrast winner" and "as a perfect optical instrument" as you rated Fuji 35/1.4 in your Fuji book?
Many thanks for your continuing effort!
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Anders Kamden instablaster :)
@Holden London thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Holden London it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Anders Kamden no problem =)
I just ordered this lens. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge with us, Ken!
I just learned this lens could possibly damage the X-Pro3. What is your experience with this?
Thank you, I needed your input here 😊
I can’t believe I have been watching your videos for the last year and not subscribed! Sorry 😮
Hey Ken. Please make a video about expensive horrible lenses. Please try to include ones from a variety of brands 🙏
Watched your video, bought the lens. Thanks for your words, time and effort. You're 10/10.
On Flicker the Viltrox micro contrast is outstanding. I think it destroys the Fuji 35mm f1.4 and perhaps beats the Fuji 33mm f1.4. Especially at its price, but the green chromatic bokah is rather irritating. Maybe it can be fixed in post? Idk.
now Viltrox needs as 12 or 14 f1.4 for Fuji, would be great for weddings
They are supposed to come out with a 13mm 1.4 in 2021 for APS C cameras
Thanks to review this nice lens ! ( very good buy for Fuji system)
Wow 9:20 you are so generous. I’m going to order it now 😊 thank you for the great review
Thank you for the great review.
So the 23mm 1.4 Viltrox is out, one of my favorite focal lengths, excited for the review to come out👍
I bought the xt3 Because of you and that was the best camera decision ever, and now I am definitely getting this lens because of this review. Thanks man
its so cheap and so awesome :)
Cheers Ken, thanks for your book and review - much appreciated. Viltrox seems to be producing magic lenses at a fantastic price! I plan to get a couple! I sold my Fuji 23mm F1.4. I really miss it but thinking of the Viltrox now and the Viltrox 52mm 1.4
Fuji decided to follow the 33mm focal length after all with their upcoming apparently amazing and awesome lens. Hope it's as good as it looks on paper. Can't wait to Sep 2.
$280. If I was feeling spendy one day then I'd get this. Already own the 35mm f2 so it's a no go for me. For people looking to get an inexpensive kit for street and portrait photography, a used X-H1 with the Viltrox 85mm and the 33mm seems like a real winner. Even the 23mm when it comes out depending on the price and performance.
85mm is amazing indeed
@@michaklaarenbeek7966 A lot of people dig it. I'm still after the 90mm myself though.
Torn up between 35mm f2 and this lens. Can you give a suggestion? Thanks
@@binchopet22 I went with the 35mm f2. If the Viltrox was available at the time I made my purchase I'd still go with the Fuji. It has great image quality, the AF is fast and accurate, it is super small and light, and it's weather resistant. Say what you will about WR but even a little bit helps and I do want to shoot in wet weather. A lot of people will complain about being f2, but shallow DOF isn't everything and people shouldn't be afraid of low light, boost the ISO. Or make the lack of light work for you. Play with silhouettes, shadows, specks of light, or highlights. Use a flash.
Hope that helps somewhat.
How do you compare this with the Fuji 35mm F2?
33... lol. Nothin about you, it's just that that number has been following me since 2015.
They always die or kill or rise up or are disappeared at that age. Numerology is powerful.
Thanks Ken. Now the next 23mm 1.4!
Bought! Great review as always
What a nice video. I wonder wich one you would choose between this one and the 7Artisans 35mm f/0,95. The 7Artisans costs the same. It receives more light... but, no af. What about IQ ? Thank you very much.
There is no better 35 than Samyang 35 1.2 for crop bodies. Best IQ
Autofocus aside. How does this compare in image quality to the Mitakon 35mm f0.95??
the mitakon is creamier and nicer in several ways
I had to go & peek at the Viltrox site. No lenses for M43 cameras. For an affordable lens company from China, I'm a bit surprised with that result. Huh.... Well, enjoy folks! Looks like my trumpybucks are going into my agricultural endeavors, so no X-T4 in my near future. :v( Pooooo!
@Comfy Reviews I will look into that. Many thanks!
Ken, again a great review. I just bought my copy and can't wait to get it. Stay safe!
Thanx man!
Great work!!
I looked at this and ordered it straight after.
Hey Ken, any opinions on Voigtlander colorskopar 18mm f2.8
Some other reviewer had an issue with haze when shooting into strong light. Curious if you noticed that?
i said the same in this video
Theoria Apophasis ah I didn't realize that the flare you were mentioning was what he was calling haze. My bad.
@@KenTheoriaApophasis Do you think the Tokina versions of these Viltrox lenses released later in the year will include different coating to combat these flare issues?
I don't know if someone will interesting for this information, but few day ago I asked to my friend to call to one compnay in Chian who make stepping motors, also for lenses, and sale in different countries includign Japan, and they told us tomake stepping motor is most easy in the world, and cheap too, most theyr motors cost between 2 and 7 USD. In fact its an electromagnetic motors, without any contacts between rotor and electromagnets. And we will see new Vitrox 23mm F1.4 and 55mm F1.4 lenses.
Thank you!!!!
I appreciate your efforts and your honest reviews :)
Thanks Ken!, I would love to know how do you rate this Viltrox 33mm against Mitakon 35mm in terms of sharpness and Bokeh?. 1.4 versus 0.95? I primary do video work on a XT3 more than photos so AF it doesn't botter me...
the viltrox is bit sharper, but the mitakon has more dreamy bokeh,...... you ok with MF lenses?
Did you try shooting NOT in manual mode? You could take a look at Andrew's (from Denae and Andrew) review. This lens is suppose to be catastrophic if it doesn't get a firmware update!
And should have a lot of CA..
Thanks for your efforts Ken. Great honest review. Will definitely get this for my Eos-M6ii
Can you please compare the image quality against the Mitakon 35mm 0.95? Which one would you recommend given that you have no problems with manual focus? Thanks in advance!
the mitakon is far more etherial bokeh, and the the mitakon is lot more heavy and no AF of course
Theoria Apophasis thank you very much!!! 🙏
Thanks!
OMG, thank you so very much!!!
Yea...Lenses...interesting...how about taking shots with said lenses and showing us mere mortals how good or bad they are in the field..would be very helpful...can't seem to find a page with your shots which seems a bit odd..or am İ just looking In the wrong place?...a Link would be helpful!
Thanks for your review on this lens. Very informative.
Instantly subbed. Cant believe i havent stumbled on to you before on YT
That into music 👍 Keep it coming! Stay safe!
How loose is the aperture ring on this lens? Heard that the 23mm Viltrox is very loose and too easy to accidentally change.
Hi, i have fuji xt3 and i am looking to buy 50mm equivalent for video mainly. Should I buy this one for video as main purpose.?
I ordered this lens from Viltrox website the morning as soon as it came available. I also paid for the $30 faster shipping. Still don't have it. I got two tracking updates from DHL that still can't give me a status update. You were able to order, receive, test, and review before I can even hold it in my hands. Ughhhh! Great review. Thx for your insight.
Cinematic Pipe did you receive it yet?
No. It is supposed to come this upcoming Thursday. Apparently when it got shipped with a slew of others, they were returned and held at their facility until after their Labor Day holiday. So we will see.
I love your french accent. !!
Hi Ken, Viltrox makes a 20mm 1.8 for the nikon z cameras. Have you tried it at all? I know you don’t particularly like the z cameras, but I’d be interested in hearing your opinion.
i have not, no :)
Theoria Apophasis Any chance you might review it in the future? 😀
Ken some people reported freezing (lock up) issues on their fujis when using the 85mm viltrox. Possibly due to it being reverse engineered. Have you had this issue at any time either with the 85 or the 33?
I heard they got an update and the issue nolonger exists. Heard it from other youtube videos. Claiming in 48 hrs of finding out, Viltrox released a firmware update to fix the issue.
Could you show us exactly where you found the information about this "crystal glass"
i already have fuji 35mm.f2 please compare to VILTROX 33MM f1.4 WHICH ONE U WOULD TAKE??
Quick question: Is it possible to control the aperture in this lens from the camera body instead of the ring?
Many thanks
Caula
How does the af perform on video like tracking continuous
Think Im gonna try this lens, Ken. Thanks
Thanks. Great review as always
According to one of Andrew's review of this lens, he said viltrox 33 mm f1.4 has chromatic aberration and Fuji 35mm f2 has none with test shots.
Hi Ken can you suggest a good speed booster for the fuji xt4?Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hi
Quick question if I may: have you ever come across the Zeiss Touit 32mm f1.8 for Fuji?
Thanks
Caula
Thanks Ken, you are great! And have you shared the example of pics of this new 33mm beast? Can't find the link..
how is micro contrast?
Been waiting for this - just happened to reload the page just as you uploaded this!
Fuji opened up their mount to third party manufacturers so maybe I'll wait for the Sigma trio (16mm 1.4, 30mm 1.4, 56mm 1.4) and their made in Japan, not CPP-virus capital of the world.
Same here. But in my case im waiting for tamron or tokina. Not a big fan of sigma
@@Stories_4_Everyone The Tokina versions of these lenses look quite nice actually, I wonder if they will coat them differently to reduce the flare issue..
sigma = JUNK
What about the famous character shown by the fujifilm 35mm f1.4? After this, fujifilm won't sell a single 35mm f1.4. They know they have to renew the older lenses, 35mm, 18mm, 27mm (they won't do the 60mm macro because they have the 80mm)
Ken, is there any lens correction in the camera?
Thank you for sharing, Ken.
Could you have opinions on this lens with an infrared camera/photography please? Would it work well with hotspot or astrophotography? Thank you again for your sharing.
This guy almost has reviewed more lenses than Christopher Frost. Impressive
But he didn't show any photos
Can you help me by telling me how I focus 3 or 4 people with a 33 mm Viltrox at an aperture of 1.4? I always get more than one person out of focus. thank you and sincere greetings from Mexico...
You don't shoot groups at 1.4. you probably could do a couple but they would need to be on the same plane.
@@Princeton_James thanks
I wonder how the bokeh ball after it stopped down a little. Wide open, the balls in the corners are distorted to cat eye shaped. Will it become perfect sphere after closing it down to like f1.8 or f2?
aaaaahhhh I just got an me email saying that my order will be refunded as they sold out.
that sucks.. how long ago did you order? I ordered mine about 6 days ago and no indication of it being sold out.
@Comfy Reviews ordered mine a week ago from aliexpress,
still hasn't shipped :-(
How is focus breathing? If there is a much breathing then is unusable for video.
How about Viltrox 23mm 1.4, 33mm 1.4, and 55mm 1.4 to their countepart Fuji XF Lenses soon
Hello, thank you for the precious information. I have one question if you may spend some time to answered. What could appende if Viltrox stop firmware updates, is that going to impact the functionality. There could be any sw interfere between an old sw on the lent and new sw on the camera. I hope sw want to work always.
My question is related to all viltrox lenses.
Thank you.
Did you review the other Viltrox AF lenses for X mount?
the 85? yessssss
@@KenTheoriaApophasis Actually, I was considering buying the 23mm f1.4 for X mount from Viltrox. I don't have either of Fuji's 23mm lenses. I'd be curious to know what you thought of the Viltrox 23mm before I buy?
is this lens weather sealed?
Hey Ken! A little unrelated but, would you happen to know if bluetooth devices can be harmed by a magnet of considerable strength? Not like an electromagnet but a decently strong medium sized consumer grade magnet? I figured if anyone would know it would be you. Thanks 👍
is it smooth on focus in video ?
butttttter
Which X mount lenses have the best true to life color rendition? I thought that most ones with low F number where good (e.g. 35 1.4).
60mm 2.4.....80mm ....50-140 ...16mm 1.4
@@KenTheoriaApophasis Great, Thank You :)
Will you ask Viltrox to make a auto focus 11 mm 1.8 lens
Personally waiting on the 56mm 1.4 review. This review was good btw
I love that lens!
If I already have the Fuji 35mm f1.4, do you recommend me selling it to buy the Viltrox and use the left over money to buy another lens?
@What Are You On About I find the focal length difficult to use for a general purpose lens, but love it for portraits. BTW, it's my only lens right now and I'm actually considering a 23mm for general use.
Do you have a sample raw photos available for download?
thank you very munch for your review
Thnks for your review. I have a question: Does the clickless aperture click in "A" position?
Yes
did your cameras take an extra 5 seconds to turn on with this lens? After a 2 weeks, now my camera won't turn on at all with this lens on it.
Fast moter in it for vid?
Wish they come up with 100 -400 mm for wildlife
Great review Ken! Just a quick question, will the 35mm 1.4 lens hood fit on the viltrox?
Nope
You don’t need to say “Best Value”, if it’s better than than the fuji 35 1.4 irregardless of price.
Any comments on the VILTROX AF 23MM F1.4 XF-Mount?
its coming
