Viltrox 85mm f1.8 Sony lens (FULL FRAME)

Күн бұрынViltrox 85mm f1.8 Sony lens (FULL FRAME) lens review and samples. Is the Viltrox 85mm f1.8 as good as the Sony 85mm f1.8, or better? Is it worth saving $200? The Viltrox 85mm f1.8 vs Sony 85mm f1.8 is a close call, and I'd probably give my money to Viltrox, but they're missing one small thing that makes my life a lot easier.

Just watched your comparison/review video. I have been using Sony 85mm f1.8 and it’s been very reliable. Viltrox is working on the areas where Sony lacks performance and that for much lesser price. Like your 24mm comparison video, this should have been pitted against GM to consider its value. Nonetheless, this is a great video like 24mm and 50mm videos. Thank you for doing some non-scientific no nonsense tests. Don’t know if anyone watched this video till the end… Congratulations Phillip on your new baby boy. Such a cute baby!

Have been using the Viltrox MkII for a while now with Sony A7 and love it - build quality and image quality are amazing for the price. One thing I'd say I've noticed is colour fringing can get pretty bad in harsh lighting! Also I don't know why but when I use autofocus it always focuses slightly in front and usually only notice when I get to post, ruined a lot of shots because of it unfortunately
@PhillipSkraba 2 жыл бұрын
I've had it for a few weeks, and I love it too! I haven't noticed any fringing on mine, mind you my Sony had quite a bit when I shot against the sun. My AF is perfect, have you tried manually adjusting it in the Sony menu? I believe there should be an option for that.

The FE 85MM 1.8 was the first lens I ever purchased. I love that thing so much. The bokeh is beautiful. I've never had an issue with the stabilisation on video on an A7 2, especially on a gimbal. Even handheld I never experienced any issues with it. I think that's the case with many lenses though; ultimately you can achieve most shots by just understanding your movements and having a steady hand. Even compared to the Zeiss Batis, the quality isn't even that different. Great lens and so much fun, especially under low light.

Compré el Viltrox hace 2 semanas, lo acabo de devolver. Tarda muchísimo en enfocar. tanto que te desesperas. Lo utilicé en una comunión, tardó en enfocar unos 4 segundos. Y le dí otra oportunidad en una Boda. Otra vez tardó una barbaridad en enfocar, lo cual lo he terminado devolviendo. No me es de fiar.

Looks like you’re all over looking the extreme vignette on the Viltrox? and can I see distortion in the corners to??
@PhillipSkraba 2 жыл бұрын
Those are two things that in everyday use don't bother me at all, maybe for someone pixel peeping on a white background without corrections, sure, but when actually using it for photography or filmmaking, nope. The distortion is pretty similar to the Sony 85mm, IF you can see it on a photo, it's a correction that takes a second in Lightroom, and as for vignette, the Sony is just as bad if not worse, once again also something that takes a second to correct in Lightroom - *Enable profile corrections, the Viltrox profile will fix both those at the touch of a button. I wouldn't worry about those two downfalls at all to be honest, unless you photograph rectangular white walls for a living and don't have access to Lightroom.

Thank You! I get that question a lot of Instagram, and the answer is the Viltrox, I have the 24 and 35 Sony too and Viltrox versions, and I reach for the Viltrox, the reason being that they're just as good and they don't have the horrible breathing the Sonys have. The only time I reach for the Sony is when I use the 35mm as it has much closer focus.
