Күн бұрынI've been using the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 PFU RMBH for a few weeks now in all sorts of scenarios, from studio, to on location, flash, natural light, professional, personal, high light and low light, and it's time to give you my thoughts on this interesting little lens.

After doing a Lot of video work with both the 85GM and 85 Viltrox side by side (the GM on the a9 and Viltrox on the a7iii), man does it focus more reliably than the 85GM. While the Viltrox will indeed inexplicably fail to focus like 1% of the time, it’s still Much more reliable than the GM. Like not even close.

@@WesPerry I'm really surprised. So many people seem to big up the Viltrox and you wonder if there's some kind of catch being at that price, but it doesn't seem to be the case at all, and even gives the 85GM a run for its money!

7:40 viltrox software not needed. Just connect to PC or Mac via regular micro USB cable and in the text file on mass storage drive you will see the firmware version. Download the DAT file, drag it to the lens which is a mass storage, it will install software automatically within 5s and will re-appear again as mass storage drive with a text file with new firmware version number inside. DAT file will disapear. Very simple.

Hi Wes, This was interesting as I recently watched Dave McKeegan's video on the Viltrox and he came down on the side of the Sony 85 f1.8 as the better lens but did say that the Viltrox is a solid budget option. For him it seemed that the auto focus was unreliable as well, so clearly that is its main weakness as your photos' image quality were great! I already own the Sony 85 f1.8 and just found out that a friend has picked up my new purchase of the Tamron 17-28 f.2.8 from The Camera Store, so this is just academic for me, but a solid 9 out of 10 for this video ( would have been a 10 but the cat did not make an appearance in the kitchen!)

It was on the very latest firmware (I forget which number exactly but I just checked the other day in hope that it had received a new update, but unfortunately not. Almost looks like they’re done updating it now.) I haven’t heard this exact thing about performance on Fuji, I have however heard more AF complaints in general. It seems as though they don’t have it quite as perfected as the Sony one. I think the Fuji AF algorithm had to be reverse engineered (Fuji doesn’t share it), while Sony actually provides it to third parties.

I bought the Lumix 85 1.8 for less with “ Dual IS “ but Sony is over priced lenses ! Smaller companies won’t be able to keep up !

I’m unclear on which lens you’re talking about, as there is no LUMIX 85 1.8. If you mean the 42.5 1.7, you’ll need to convert the aperture as well, making it an 85mm f/3.4 lens, which is a micro 4/3 lens. Comparing the pricing of which to a full frame lens is hardly productive. Larger glass is simply more expensive to produce. When Panasonic releases their upcoming 85 1.8 for L-mount later this year, you can bet it’ll be close to $1000 (or more).

@@WesPerry I bet you can’t tell which lens shot the picture Wes ? I learned a long time ago I see more than my client’s.

I was at a shoot in Canada, the lighten had struck ground, I touched my 20d and the camera started shooting, battery out to stop it ? I had someone bring my a camera from Walmart, an xt silver ! Oh no !
