Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Lens Review for Nikon Z APSC DX Bokeh King!

I tried out the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 portrait lens for Nikon Z DX APSC cameras in this video. The Viltrox 75 is the first lens in their "PRO" line. It is a great performer with virtually no optical flaws. The fast f/1.2 aperture gives you excellent subject separation and a very creamy bokeh. The aperture also helps in low-light situations. I was very impressed with this lens.

To me, this is the most exciting APS-C lens to be released since the Laowa 65mm macro lens. The equivalent of a full frame 112mm f/1,8 is impressive!

Hi Micael! I agree, it’s quite an achievement. What is even more impressive is it’s stellar optical performance!

That is a cool lens. It is similar to the Signma lenses that I have been using that Hassan loaned me. Also, thanks for the knowledge dump about the ND filter. Lots of people don’t realize that. The photos also show for themselves, third party glass has come ALONG way…👍

I have their 13mm 1.4 for Fuji which is a great lens. They’ve stepped it up of late. They are all on the heavy side though. Larger than some full frame glass.

Wonder where you saw it on the internet with someone using it on a Z7 🤔 😅 I know after using this lens it certainly deserves it pro tag! Thanks for sharing your opinion of the lens.

@PhilThach 11 ай бұрын

Thank you, Adrian! I've seen you and Snapchick (Leigh & Raymond) use this lens on a Z7 and another reviewer used it on a Z8. As long as it's a high-res FX camera, it works just fine as you demonstrated.

@PhilThach 11 ай бұрын

Thank you! I have my eye on that 27mm 1.2. They usually release a new lens for Fuji-film X first and then, a few months later, release a version for Nikon and Sont APSC. So, hopefully, I'll be able to review that new 27 in early 2024.

Interesting video. Many companies claim weather sealing, but unless they give an IP international standard rating of greater than 55 the claims or "weather resistent" or "weatherproof" are just talk. Most iPhones are rated to IP 67. Olympus is the only company I am aware of that publishes its IP ratings.

@PhilThach 11 ай бұрын

That's a very good point. Still, some attempt at rain and dustproofing is better than none.

Could we potentially see the Viltrox lens in a sport or action setting? I’d like to know how something like the z50 with this lens does for indoor basketball or football type photos? Just to see if the lens can keep up with movement?

So would you use it for sports? For volleyball to e precise? I'm using 70-200 2.8 but would love to get my iso down but because very poor light conditions I cant and I wondered if that lense would work, maybe not for extremely fast actions but maybe for some ?

@PhilThach 7 ай бұрын

I think it’s struggles to focus too much on the Z 50 and I think it is the fault of the Z50. If Nikon had a better APC camera then Maybe. The next issue is the viltrox focus motor is a little slow for sports. This is an amazing portrait lens but I’m just not sure about it for sports.

@drashyr 7 ай бұрын

@@PhilThach thanks for fast response, I must say I'm still tempted to try because of the price :) If I end up buying I will post results.

@drashyr 7 ай бұрын

So I bought this lens and today had a chance to use it for volleyball match and you were right AF is to slow, so lots of shots were missed. That said when AF did hit right I got pictures with iso below 1000 which is very nice. I could not get AF-C on my Z6ii to work so I shot with AF-S which is probably why number of missed shots is rather high. The fact that I have Z6 less than a month also did not helped :) But for anyone wondering - for indoor sport you should probably go for something with faster AF.

Honestly, there are plenty of great full frame lenses out there. Not many APSC, especially for Nikon. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Viltrox make more full frame glass too, but I think I appreciate these APSC lenses more.

@@PhilThachI agree with you about the lack of quality APS-C lenses. Nearly all the high end glass is full frame. Also, both of my canon full frame mirrorless cameras (RP, R6) have crop mode so I can use the APS-C glass at a reduced resolution without issues.
