Thanks for the review man! Very informative and I appreciate that you made photo and video with the lens.

It is too perfect for street photography and overall food photography hahah The autofocus is such a must too! I remember my first Nikon 50mm 1.8D. The manual focus kills me 🥲

I liked your honest review. I've already ordered the lens. I'm gonna pair it with an X-S10.

Fantastic review, fam. Beautifully produced, balanced insghts, tips and tricks. Awesome. I have been looking at a telephoto as my permanent lens (it's currently the Viltrox 23mm f1.2) and I think this plastic fantastic could just be the one. Nice one!

Yongnuo 50 1.8 DA DSM, ( not the pro version ). Very impressive, fast and reliable auto-focus, focuses much closer. Its even lighter ( 134 g ) and cheaper ( 130€ vs 200€ )where I live. ( Optically not as good ( sharp wide open, but with a lot of CA ). Handles flare very well, and doesn't suffer from lost of contrast wide open. Perfect for casual portrait/general photography, if you don't mind CA, wich is correctable in post. Nice video, love your comunnication style

Nice review bud, subscribed! I have the same setup as you, X-S20 + Sigma 18-50mm + Viltrox 13mm, and too was interested in this new 56mm... I also have a 7artisans 35mm f1.4 mark II, that I paid only 60 euros from Aliexpress, and must say it's an incredible lens, even taking away the ridiculous low price, its small, light and sharp.. but what pains me is that its somewhat hard to nail focus at 1.4, so end up using it more often at 1.8, which is way am considering getting this Viltrox, since it's AF, manual lens are nice to play with, but sometimes can be annoying :D (BTW, I am considering Viltrox 27mm too, but find it too damn big / heavy) Just to answer on what you mentioned towards the end of the video, yes, there is another similar lens from TTartisans 56mm f1.8, but I think personally, still prefer the Viltrox one, and am considering buying it - and ALSO, Viltrox has already stated they will release a new PRO lens f.12 for APS-C later this year, but they havent yet informed the focal length, but since there is 27 and 75, we can guess will be around 50..

TTartisan actually released a AF 56mm 1.8 quite recently as well! Seems super cool that these budget brands are starting to give af equivalents tho, got the ttartisan 27mm af as well (even tho I sadly almost never use it, which is weird because I love the images I have taken with it 🤣)

Have you also tried the Viltrox 27mm f1.2 pro? It's hands down the best lens I've ever used in fuji system.

@Geekception 2 ай бұрын

that is a lens I really really wanna try. can't afford it right now but hopefully I can get it in the future

@npdady 2 ай бұрын

@@Geekception yeah, it is a tad bit expensive. I got mine off of Carousell for RM1800. It's basically permanently stuck on my X-T20. Imagine a perfectly sharp, contrasty and all image quality you could want from an image, at F1.2. That's what you get from this lens. No need to get a full frame already. Haha.

@Geekception 2 ай бұрын

seriously that's the dream! I'd use it for my talking head shots because I think it would do so well
