End results that you can get with this lens, coupled with newer Fuji bodies such as X-T5, are pretty spectacular for the price. That combo is $2250 and you would need to spend at least $3375 on equivalent FF combo (like Sony A7R III + Samyang 135mm 1.7). That's a substantial difference and Fuji combo is also slightly smaller and lighter as well. Kudos to Viltrox for making Fuji system more competitive in the end.

I agree. In full frame field of view terms, I tend to find 135mm often too long, but I love my 105mm DC. So, back in Fujifilm terms, I would undoubtedly prefer this 75mm over my 90mm f/2. However, I already find that to be a spectacular lens and it focuses so close AND fast too... I've got very nice close shots of little flowers with it, in addition to headshots of my kids. But the 75mm would cut my ISO in less than half... Perhaps all I can do is buy this one, then use it and do some size by sides with the 90mm and decide which to keep... Me being me, I already want to keep both, though.. 🤦🏼♂️

Agree with prior comment on Canon RF glass being prohibitively expense for many users. I also moved on from Canon after nearly 40 years of using their products. I invested heavily in the Fujifilm lens lineup & have not been disappointed. The Viltrox 75mm f1.2 has recently been added to my kit, between the 56mm f1.2 & the 90mmf2. This lens really hits the “sweet spot” in focal length for me & IMHO is a very good value for its price point.😊

Viltrox has come a long way and makes one wonder why pay such high premiums for oem glass? Especially when Viltrox seems to accomplish 99% of lenses at double if not triple the cost. It would be more prudent to get this lens plus the new 56mm f1.2 over the 50mm f1.0 for example. Another fantastic review. I hope Viltrox will make RF mounts some day.

Got one of the 50 preorders too. Curious to compare it to my Viltrox 85mm f/1.8, a lens that I like a lot. About the manual focus stepping, probably it could be solved by firmware, since in AF the move is linear - if it is not a limitation of the focus ring encoder. Viltrox is VERY active in firmware updates - my 85mm improved a lot with updates. Good review as usual. 🙂

Honestly, I'm VERY surprised... As someone who shoots Hasselblad, Sony and Leica, I'm used to superb Hassy, Zeiss, Voigtlander and Leica quality of optics... With that, as far as optics go, I can say that this Viltrox lens is close to, if not on par with some of the Zeiss, Leica and Voigtlander APO ASPH glass! Now, build quality and focusing motor could use a lot of improvement - but then again, I may be asking for far too much, from a lens that costs about 500 bucks, because again, optically, this lens is close to, if not on par with Zeiss, Leica and Voigtlander APO ASPH glass!

Did anyone notice this lens has aperture issues - somewhere between 9-16 it often incorrectly opens the aperture and for instance f14 is brighter (bigger whole) then f13 and there is no difference between f9 and f10 (aperture doesn’t change at all. I know 99% of users value this lens for its superb quality at f1.2 but it is definitely the issue confirmed by the Viltox distributor and none of the firmware updates so far didn’t solve it.

Now, if *only* the hood would be like Sigma offerings, means full metal lens hood, instead of plastic. The lens is into it's price class without competition, a excellent #1 PRO lens from Viltrox.

Agreed.

Why? It's a lens hood.... and a good plastic will absorb impact better than a cheap metal any day of the week.
@marcp.1752 Жыл бұрын
@@RiposteThis I shoot since 1984. I've never, ever bumped a lens hood against anything. I care much about my gear and lenses, being always cautious. A metal lens hood is much more premium from build quality, and stylish.

@@marcp.1752 So from what you're saying, there is really no point it's just you being picky over something that doesn't matter at all. Especially at a $600 f1.2 lens that is optically almost perfect... You remind me of those guys who can see an absolutely stunning woman, and then say you don't like them because their elbows are too pointy.

@@RiposteThis 1st your post doesnt make sense - i have not been picky about the lens IQ, but lens hood - different thing. 2nd this lens is great, i've seen all reviews the past 3 days , but what you don*t get or accept is - not everyone does share your, very own personal opinion! I like Metal lens hoods, not plastic, not rubber - just get this ! thanks.

I really think that manufacturers like Viltrox and Samyang will finally get SoCaNikon with their feet on the ground regarding their outrageous and not justified prices of their pro lenses. In the end everybody will be forced to cut their prices to normal if they want to survive.

I am certainly not interested in this lens. There is no professional support. The AF speed and accuracy does not convince me. My old Nikon 85/1.8 AFD seems to do better to be honest.

Are you saying there is no support out of experience? Also, curious about what you say about focus accuracy. I got great focus accuracy in my tests - much better that I saw with DSLR lenses in general.
