I never cared much about auto focus speed. To make it even worse for some of you, I hate Sony cameras.

It's literally my favorite lens for video... And also the least expensive lens I've ever purchased. Lens flare is epic. Build is solid 🙌🏼

I do not shoot video,but I can tell you that the Viltrox 75mm f1.2 & the Viltrox 27mm f1.2 have not disappointed me for still photography. They offer fantastic build quality & produce excellent images.These 2 Viltrox lenses rival some Canon “L” lenses for the images that they produce. I am a retired photographer & shot with Canon products for nearly 40 years.

Is the purple fringing a problem in JPEG or just in raw?

Hello, i am beginner, i just want to ask if my fujif xa-20(year 2017) will fit to viltrox 56mm 1.4? Thank you.

That was a really wonderful video presentation. I cannot wait to see part two. 😊

I just purchased the camera last week. Your video presentation was very informative for me. Thank you so much. 😊

thanks for the review dawg

Excellent review, Thank you.

Excellent review of this camera, still today in 2023 I find it very useful and sincere.

The release timing of xh1, followed quickly by xt3 release, makes it an inevitable “failure” then.

Finally somebody talking about photos i'm really tired seeing people talking about videos.

Zeiss makes 3 Fuji X-mount lenses.

what an ending xD

i've heard some negative feedback on this because its shutter button is too light so it's hard for the user to know when the camera is focusing or has taken a picture... Im new to this hobby and want to focus on photography, im dabating between choosing the xh1 and xt3, maybe a bit toward the XH1 bc it's cheaper, ill have more money to buy lens but that feedback makes me quite concerned, can you give me any advice, thanks !

Great video. The XT2 is still a great camera in 2023, and I use it as my main back up photography camera, but actually it's still fine for video too. You guys must be the most beautiful couple on KZfaq.

Sony and Panasonic are NOT camera or film manufacturers FUJI is. If I want a HIFI then I will buy Sony or Panasonic but for a camera then I will buy FUJI - enough said!

4 years later and I am considering one of these cameras. This was a brilliant review, very original and comprehensive. Great music too.

I have had mine for about 1 month now my previous camera was a XT-1 I'm starting to miss that camera. I don't shoot video and the color is better in my opinion is better but I'm not going back. Thanks for sharing this video it was enjoyable to see someone else's opinion of this camera.

Hi 👋 I m new to fujifilm xs10 system looking for either 23mm f1.4 r or 23mm f2, which one should I choose for better image quality, I m an hobbyist want your honest n simple response, thanks alot 🤩

Sind sie auch Deutsche? 😂

One thing I notice after watching different youtubers review this lens, those who were given a copy from Viltrox have definitely sharper and better build quality. Those who bought the lens with their own money tho, definitely have noticeable fringing, slightly softer, and some build quality issues (where the aperture is dented and focus failing altogether.) where they have to send back the lens for service, telling they were writing a review for the lens. They were sent with a new copy, all working good. But I doubt if their requests will be handled pleasantly if they did not say that they are writing a review. So there might be something fishy. Viltrox might be refining the copies they present to the content creators, while the production copies have a little lousy quality control.

Very much appreciated. My buddy has the fast Fuji and is snooty about it. Yet I have NEVER seen a single photo he's taken with it. When you were comparing auto focus, I wonder if or how it changes depending on your f stop..Regarding your end rant to Fuji for video lenses...don't forget Fuji makes cinema lenses....

even four years later... a very good review and the advise is very much to the point.

I have the Viltrox 23mm/13mm and this one 56mm . The 23mm is one of their best and 13mm is their perfect lens even better than 16mm Fuji Primes . This 56mm has a lot purple fringing that already corrected by the newest updates! Though it still there. Lens flare is also an issues with their glass , so you have to be very careful when shooting directly on sunlight. It is sharp and bokeh is almost the same with Fuji, the only way to find difference between each photos taken by Fuji and Viltrox is by putting it side by side! For the price and quality I say , you can never go wrong with Viltrox lens!

That’s what she said! 😅

I have to say that this is by far the best camera review I have witnessed to date, comparing cameras excellent, and operation. Well done, thanks again. You are making some decisions much easier and this review was done 4 yes ago. BRAVO!

Oooh, the fuji is just outstanding. Love fuji glass!

what happened to you? You haven’t done a video in a year. It’s a shame cause your videos are so enjoyable and informative.

Newer cameras are ridic small. Not sure what they're going for, but mirrorless adoption has been abysmal, and maybe being sold a miniature toy factors into it.

Thank you!

Hi thanks for this video! Would you say focus has improved since the latest viltrox updates? And do you still recommend this lens?

From watching this and a couple other videos about the XT3, I believe I found Fuji’s weakness: AUTOEXPOSURE. There are harsh and sudden flickers that happen throughout the shots of the XT3. Autoexposure is just not gradual like that of Sony and Nikon. So Fuji, if you can see this, it would be great if there is a firmware update to fix that… other than that, I wouldn’t think about buying any other camera brand.

Couldn't an associate link! Just bought the viltrox and wanted to throw some your way but maybe next time.

Thank you for saying bokeh correctly... Increasingly hard to find on KZfaq

Remember, you can NEVER really turn the IBIS off on XH1; IS OFF just turns off the active stabilization but the motors for the IBIS/sensor assembly always seem to be running hence the constant humming noise!

Better to wait for the 56mm sigma 1.4 ) JPN built and well priced. )thanks for the review

Damn. I am five years too late to this video and damn...you guys seem inactive nowadays. Nooooo :(

Could you and other YT'rs stop spoiling (maybe??) good, informative vid's with annoying noisy back-and foreground noise during the film. I don't need it, it makes my ears bleed, and I quit seeing it to the end...

the focus sound of the 1.4 is pretty amplified here...you wont here it when using it on the street

What a brilliant review. A well put together and thoughtful film. Thank you.

i think i will use viltrox for potrait model only not for landscape or other situation. nice video by the way. thanks

An elegant review! Thanks!

虎標萬金油！？How did you get that？From Taiwan？

Is the Viltrox corner softness due to field curvature or is it always soft in the corners?

how did you get your partner to do this project? My wife is never interested in anything photography.

Headshots don't tell the whole story. In long shots the difference in object isolation becomes probably more visible. Nevertheless the viltrox seems to be a good lens.

What's with the hat indoors?

Was the autofocus mode multi or area ?

Lol my first Fuji lens is the Viltrox 23 now I’m probably gonna get the viltrox 56. I wonder if I’m missing anything by not going for a native Fuji lens.
