@@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons Is there any chance that you could do a Z6ii AF comparison--using the latest firmware--against its competitors? (Sony, Canon, Fuji) I know that would be a lot of work, but if you did an AF comparison only that users of all four brands would watch the video. It could be an R6/Z6ii/A7iii/X-T4 shoot out with percentage hit rates under different lighting conditions. Thanks!

Watched this before, but skipped through most of it and went to the conclusion. This time I watched the whole thing from front to back and was very impressed at the thoroughness of this review. Honestly, probably the best review I’ve seen comparing these lenses, especially all four. I own the 56mm and was curious how the new 50 mm F 1.0 compared. Each lens obviously has strengths and weaknesses, but after watching this I’m happy sticking with my 56 mm, and for the price of the 50 mm F 1.0 I also have the 90 mm F2, and the 56 and the 90 together we only 100 g more than just the 50 mm F 1.0. To put in another way, the 50 mm F 1.0 actually weighs more than the 16 to 55 mm F2.8 and a 35 mm F1.4 combined. Thanks again!

@jimmason85023 жыл бұрын
I have both the Fuji 56 and the 50mmf2 and you are correct, the B&W images from the 50mm are stellar. And I'm glad I got the 56mm instead of the 50f1, that extra 3/4 of a stop or so isn't that significant in terms of bokeh and the lens is a lot more expensive and heavier than the 56.
@matthieuzglurg60152 жыл бұрын
I have the feeling that the Viltrox prime lineup for Fuji cameras really is a big benefit for Fuji cameras. they have equivalents to current Fuji lenses (23 1.4, 33 1.4, 56 1.4 and 85 1.8), and even have lenses where Fuji hasn't stepped on the segment yet (13 1.4), all for a pretty affordable price and awesome value, especially for the 85 1.8 as it is really close to the fuji 90 f2 at less than half the price. The latest 1.4 lenses coming from Fuji (18 1.4, 23 1.4 and 33 1.4) really are works of art when it comes to opticas and all of those lenses are basically perfect, so it really depends if you're OK to spend more for more sharpness and less optical quirks. Overall though, the Viltrox lenses are an amazing value

The difference of subject isolation between both 50mm at f2 is due to the mechanical vignette ( cat's eye) of the "Tiny" at this aperture.The "big" being stopped down at f2 is free of this phenomenon. Mechanical vignette increases the depth of field where it is present.

I agree with you but and I also have the 56 1.2. However that Viltrox really held its own on the real world shots. I did notice that the bokeh got a little nervous looking on the shots that had a busy background to begin with. Both the Viltrox and the Tiny 50 had that same issue. In particular it was the shots of the person with the trees in the background (around 13:09) that exhibited this.

Yep Zeiss has those lenses out for at least 5 years. But for some reason nobody talks about them. Have the 56/1,2 for years and I adore it, all do it frustrates me sometimes, first of all due the lack of WR, secondly its old AF motor tends to freeze in sub zero temperatures so no shooting in the snow for prolonged period of time. 50/1,0 is great but a bit too big / bulky / heavy / pricey for what I do. Viltrox I could consider as a backup but not really. And 50/2.0 is great great for carry around and stealthy work. If you can justify its price which is not so high, what's quite easy if you don't have a ton of vintage 50mm lenses. What I unfortunately do have. Damn...
@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons3 жыл бұрын
The funny thing is that I reviewed the Zeiss lenses in the past, but I completely forgot about them while making the video. Maybe it's because they haven't expanded their line-up for so long (or simply put, they have abandoned the project).
