I used this lens on a Fujifilm XT5 at a wedding in the Finger Lakes region of New York state, I shot alot of portraits of my family and our grandchildren, I used it mostly at 1.4 and the photos I was able to get were outstanding, no problem with a 4omp sensor on the Fujifilm.

I hope Viltrox manages manages to make smaller and more affordable versions of Sigma’s 35mm f1.2 and 105mm f1.4 lenses. Those have been on my wishlist for a while but I can’t justify the size and expense

Nice! What about this vs Sony 85mm 1.8 on apsc? Which one would have better bokeh/background blur? 🤔 Thinking to pick one.

Thanks for the review. Do you think it’s better than the sigma 56 mm for portraits, considering weight and versatility?

Viltrox is optically better. 56mm is probably more versatile, but you will get much more distinctive look with 75mm F1.2.

@@TheHybridShooter Wouldnt say it is that much optically better - I think its 75mm that is doing most of the job. Sigma have easier AF, Viltrox can be more challenging at 1.2 (but seems fine). Viltrox have hughe background compression and that gives some extra feel to portraits, but sigma is doing it great to. If you need lens just for the outdoor portraits (or large studio) - Viltrox is perfect lense to go (you just getting this 5-10% extra full frame feel) Sigma is more versatile and will do a great job to

@@snalewajski6173 Don't try to justify your ownership of the Sigma 56 1.4. If you don't have the Viltrox 75 1.2, what you "think" does not matter. Do you have side by side comparison of the 2 lenses to show? Given the excellent AF of the Sony and Fuji cameras, you can nail the focus with easy (unless you opt for MF).

Having just received one of these and using it on my A6700, I have to agree with most of your findings. Where I strongly disagree is your findings on the AF performance being the equivalent of a Sony lens. For portrait and static objects, it is perfectly good, but for fast moving objects it just cannot keep up, even with the latest firmware. I was taking some shots of my dogs running yesterday and the Viltrox struggled to get any in focus (AF-C and animal settings). On the other hand the Sony 70-350G was nailing 9 out of 10 with the dogs eyes pin sharp.

@TheHybridShooter 4 ай бұрын

70-350 is a completely different type of lens with much lighter glass elements that are easier to move. Expecting to get the same tracking AF results with a portrait lens and light telephoto zoom would be unreasonable even if both were Sony. I am obviously comparing the AF system to Sony portrait lenses, and I can say that it is as good as with Sony.

@ShootingAndReloading 4 ай бұрын

@@TheHybridShooter while I agree to an extent, the type of motor they chose (STM) is notoriously slow. Had they used a linear it SSM motor this could be improved, if at added cost. The Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM is a good example of how a similar focal length and aperture can have fast tracking AF - again, at a higher cost. From a specification perspective, this is about as close to the Voltrox as Sony have and therefore I still challenge your "as good as Sony" statement. It simply isn't. Sill, a great lens for the price.

@TheHybridShooter 4 ай бұрын

@ShootingAndReloading The closest benchmark from Sony would be 85mm F1.4, but that is still apples to oranges comparison. According to my experiences with that lens, Viltrox is not only as good, but actually better. STM motors are definitely not “notoriously slow” I have no idea where did you hear that. They are made for precision, which why they are a good choice for portrait lenses. Unless you have a tracking comparison with some Sony 110-ish mm eqv. portrait lens, I have to insist on my "as good as Sony" statement.

@ShootingAndReloading 4 ай бұрын

I'm happy with my Viltrox 75mm, but wish its AF was as fast at the Sony for moving subjects. Having used both on my A6700, the Sony's AF is much quicker, and more accurate, while both have a similar field of view on the APS-C sensor. - 19° vs 21° for the Sony vs Voltrox respectively (127.5mm vs 112.5mm FF equivalent).

@TheHybridShooter 4 ай бұрын

@ShootingAndReloading As I wrote, I still don't find any of those comparisons to be relevant to due differences in types of lenses. The most relevant comparison is IMO with Sony 85mm F1.8 and that one does not have better AF. My "as good as Sony" claim still stands.
