    Got mine a month or so ago and this lens is amazing! I'll probably hang on to it for years to come. If the upcoming 135mm 1.8 from Viltrox is a good as this I'll definitely buy that too Viltrox is killing it

    To fix the lens hood from loosening you can cut two slivers of paper and place them in to the track of the hood where it makes engagement with the lens. It increases the friction.

    I have the viltrox 85mm... It honestly shits all over my sigma 24-70mm.. It's my favorite lens, and I'm excited to snag more viltrox lenses.. af is a little slow, BUT, for my needs, it doesn't matter

    Received mine two days ago (for Sony), and it is an awesome lens. But the lens connection to a MAC and PC does not work at all and I needed to return it for an exchange. Per Viltrox, there is something wrong with an internal circuit. This may be rare, since I could not find anyone else having the same issue. The lens-to-computer function is only important if upgrading firmware is important to you.

    sony has a great advantage by permiting third party autofocus contrary to cano RF mount camera that dont permit autofcus with the thitd party lenses. Also sony e mount autofocus is totaly open to thirtd party lens manufactures. No need for reverse engineniring as with Niko Z mount.
    For people who want cheap but really good third party autofocus lense, sony emount is the only choice.

  • @StrangelyIronic
    @StrangelyIronic 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Another reason to look at third party lenses would be when the first party couldn't give af about releasing native glass for a system. Native Nikon Z-mount APS-C fast primes are nonexistent. Sony isn't as bad on that front, but having options is nice. We'll just ignore Canon since they don't care nor will they allow others to care (until I have something like the Sigma APS-C 1.4's on RF working great for a R7, I couldn't care less if they say "we're thinking about saying we'll open it up").

      My Lord, once I had adult money to spare I got myself the Canon EOS 60D. The camera fit me perfectly back then, but little did I expect how the missing micro adjustment for AF would bite me in the rear... its successor did get the feature, but the 60D lacked it. The swivel-screen was of great help however and I've really loved the glass that I got for it. My EOS was a trusty local companion for many photo shootings, trips, events and in general. I'm happy to own it, but feel great remorse over that adjustment feature missing, since the focus got softer over the years. That being said, my next camera will not be a Canon again, instead I'll be switching to Sony as well. Their image sensors are incredible, the glass choice is amazing and being able to get a full-frame in the size of the Alpha 7C II is so helpful if you want to travel a lot and use it all-day during events where you already carry a lot of other stuff as well. The AF is stellar on Sonys as well.

    The lens does look pretty decent! I've used their APS-C glass on EF-M. Pretty quirky at first but they improved them a lot through firmware.

      @manoftherainshorts9075 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'd say you don't really need an AF for 16-14mm lenses. For vast majority of shots you will be focusing on infinity anyway

    I tried this lens and i was disappointed.This lens makes a lot noise.And when you take pictures in the interior, the photos are too the You will need a lot of light...the colors are not as good as I expected.This lens is for amateurs but not for profesionals.The price is too high. This lens is worth around 200-300 dollars.

      @gelade 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      yeah no such thing. it's f2.8. samyang is also not as sharp and not as wide while having more distortion and ca. it's cheaper and lighter and that's it.
