I love this lens, it changed the way i shoot, due to this and other Viltrox 27mm f1.2 I don’t bother with full frame anymore, i sold all my Canon FF. I use these on the Fuji X mount but its the same goodness and results as the Sony as depicted here, in fact i think even better due to the superior color science of the Fuji. My Full Wedding kit is the Viltrox 13mm f1.4, 27mm f1.2, 75mm f1.2 and also some of the Fujis systems, 18mm f1.4 & 56mm f1.2. You can get all the Bokeh you could ever possibly need an APSc today.

Hi Wes. I enjoy your channel very much. I enjoy the style & presentation of your videos & I find them to be very informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the photographic community. I recently purchased this lens for my Fuji X mount system. I own the Fuji 56mm f1.2 & the 90mm Fuji f2.0. I agree that the Viltrox 75mm f1.2 offers a very good value for its price point. Cheers!😊

After a few months of using this on my a6700, I still can't believe this is sold for 500 dollars only. For these kind of specs and performance, SoCaNikon would ask 2500+ euros. I think it's just a matter of time until Viltrox will increase the price of their lenses. Also what I love if the fast that APSC is gaining ground again.

Well, the 23mm f1.4 (which my son is currently using) was great but the AF was so-so and the vignette was pretty extreme. It was a great lens for us. The 13mm f1.4 is tremendous so I am not surprised by this lens. Viltrox is a serious contender in third party lenses.

This Lens replaced my beloves A7 III with 135mm 1.8 Sigma Art lens, and somehow it outperforms the full frame combo - at half the price and half the weight - its insane. The character combined with the Fuji colors and film simulations is such a nice combo that i use less and less time for raw processing, cause the SOOC jpeg's are just sooooo good. I still shoot RAW+JPEG for the archive, but man... i rarely refer to the RAW files anymore, only if there was extreme challenging light and needed further processing.

@@berzoidberg3272 There is a clear AF difference between the rigs, the XH2 is very lens dependent on shooting wide open. I have missed way too many shots wide open.

@@MichaelFrederickPhoto Oh for sure, AF on the fuji doesn't stand a chance against the A1, or really any of sony's current or previous gen lineup. However, I was only addressing lens quality. There are a number of sacrifices you make when moving from one of the big three to Fuji, but for me the benefits have far outweighed them.

Have to multiply both numbers. Yes, it will give you an f/1.2 amount of light on APS-C, but that’s still 1.5x less total light than a full frame f/1.2 lens would land on a larger full frame sensor. Additionally the Look of the bokeh etc is the same as f/1.8 on full frame.

Great review. Wanted to know if there are any updates on af performance after firmware update 1.0.4 in dec 23 as people say that it was not reliable for fast moving subjects like birds in the very first firmware? I am in the market for buying one. I currently have sigma 18-50 f2.8 for my a6700, looking to have a prime now-- confused between sigma 56 f1.4 and the this viltrox 75. Performance wise 56 seems to be reliable. Wether sealing, image quality wise viltrox seems better. Also this will add a bigger focal length for my use.

I doubt this will ever be a birds in flight lens, as the AF, though accurate, isn’t super fast. I’ll check my firmware and get back to you.

Nice review overall. Though I don't really like the idea of comparing it to FF lens when it's not a FF lens. It's an APSC lens and for APSC lens it's insane value because it competes with premium options at $550 which are double the price. If you want use FF body it doesn't make sense to get this lens. For APSC it's a gem. It was either the Sigma 85 1.4 for me on Sony or this on Fuji and I went this because it's cheaper, has an interesting focal length that I've enjoyed more than 85mm. And it's one of the sharpest lens on X mount.

Since it would be F1.8 full frame equivalent, would the Samyang 75mm 1.8 on a full frame body give the same image quality and bokeh?
@WesPerry 8 ай бұрын
Have to do the conversion on both numbers, it would be a 112.5mm f/1.8, so the Viltrox will have greater compression and thus larger bokeh.
@robertmarx7901 8 ай бұрын
Another thing to consider is that a F1.2 full frame and F1.2 APS-C lens lets in the same amount of light, so although the bokeh and focal length will change on an FF equivalent lens the amount of light entering this lens and hitting the sensor, will be far above that of a F1.8 full frame lens.
