Great Video Kevin, love your work btw! I also own this lens and love to use it with my X-T5. I also got the 27mm f1.2 and that's almost enough for anyone when it comes to portraits in my opinion. Keep up the good work 🙂 Cheers from Germany

I love the 27 also. Thanks for stopping by.

Long term admirer of your work, Kevin. First time I comment, I think. LOVE your work, capturing emotions. Often moving, indeed, especially when kids are in the mix. Stunning equestrian shots here 👌🏻 That one, with the horse jumping towards the camera, wow what a spot you found! Hope you didn't risk your neck 😅 Health and happiness.

Nice review, Kevin. This lens is excellent imo. Top drawer build and image quality. I’m very excited for what Viltrox has on the roadmap.

Hi Kevin I love this lens and use it for shooting street alongside the also excellent 27mm f1.2 Viltrox is certainly delivering the goods at affordable prices. Interestingly I was questioned by one person why I'm shooting wide open when shooting street photography as in his opinion Street should be shot at f5.6 or narrower 🤔 Surely it's up to the individual what they shoot and how 😂
@kevin_mullins3 ай бұрын
Absolutely it's up to the individual. There are some amazing images in Street Photograph shot from 0.95 to F22. You keep doing what you enjoy. There are no rules.

I had the Viltrox 75 and is a good lens, but I preferred the 90mm because it’s extra reach and better color rendering

Great vid Kevin. It’s good to see another manufacturer able to pull together a solid lens at a lower price. The images look great! Bonkers to see you shooting wide open in sun like that. I have to mention the music tho. I’m not sure you have the right background music. It’s all emotion wedding sounding stuff and I found it quite jarring to hear it when presented sweaty men in Lycra 😂

Hi Kevin, nice review as usual thanks for the effort, do you recommend this lens for amateur kids hockey photography?
@kevin_mullins3 ай бұрын
Yea, I think it would be great for the mid field stuff. If the action gets close to you, you may need another lens on hand.

@@kevin_mullins thank you for your reply 😊

I prefer the 90mm it is faster and sharper as I tested both
@eliasali93833 ай бұрын
The depth of field of 1.2 is phenomenal
@emgee443 ай бұрын
I have the 85mm 1.8 but was considering changing to this for its weather sealing and aperture ring, plus it’s very competitively priced. However for around the same price I could pick up a very good, albeit used, Fuji 90mm with its extra reach and fast, pin point focus. Right now I’m torn between the two.
@kevin_mullins3 ай бұрын
Absolutely. If you want the extra reach the 90mm is the best choice for sure.
@alexfrederickson15402 ай бұрын
Fabulous images, Kev. I’m adding this to my list. Can you tell me please which of your presets you used for the black and white horse images? They’re really beautiful 🤩
@kevin_mullins2 ай бұрын
I think I used the Pan-F Preset Alex :-)

Hi Kevin, great video and lovely shots - particularly the horse riding 👌 Just wondering which AFC mode were you using? Any tips much appreciated for getting such crisp clean photos. Many thanks
@kevin_mullins3 ай бұрын
AFC-C with single spot in the middle. Second from smallest focus box. I used the AF Custom Setting #2 (the one with the Leopard).
@abigkid3 ай бұрын
Brilliant - thank you! And is depth of field sufficient that you can aim mid horse and rider rather than needing to get it smack on the head?
@martinphilipps86783 ай бұрын
i have the viltrox 85 f1.8. but i miss the aperture ring and the aberrations are too heavy. i may replace it just with this viltrox 75mm.
