waiting VILTROX 23mm 1.4 review from you
As always, thanks so much for the informative review - this is one of the very best educational channels on RUclips!
Thank you for your time, Ken. I have both now. Viltrox: really affordable in comparison and fantastic results. Totally worth it. Great for video. Firmware updates. The lens has improved. Now the changes of the clickless aperture are almost smooth during recording. Fuji 35: Mine is sharper than the Viltrox and yes, I definitely can see that fantastic image that is very well known. You can use it for video, but it’s not a video lens. If you know the lens, you can get good results. I love the size. In Europe: Viltrox 295€, Fuji 520€. You choose.
Nice! Ordered mine last week after your initial review. Excited to find out more about their other two upcoming lenses.
How do you compare this with the Fuji 35mm F2?
Quick question: Is it possible to control the aperture in this lens from the camera body instead of the ring?
Many thanks
Caula
Hi, i have fuji xt3 and i am looking to buy 50mm equivalent for video mainly. Should I buy this one for video as main purpose.?
Thanks Ken!, I would love to know how do you rate this Viltrox 33mm against Mitakon 35mm in terms of sharpness and Bokeh?. 1.4 versus 0.95? I primary do video work on a XT3 more than photos so AF it doesn't botter me...
Serious contender for Fuji 35mm lenses. I still need to get that nifty-fifty lens, would be pretty ideal in many cases.
How loose is the aperture ring on this lens? Heard that the 23mm Viltrox is very loose and too easy to accidentally change.
Hi Ken can you suggest a good speed booster for the fuji xt4?Your help is greatly appreciated.
You seemed to have mellowed out, man. More calm. That’s great I find your show a lot more enjoyable this way. You’ve always known your camera talk, now that’s the main focus,. Very cool. I recently picked up the Fuji xc f2 for 160 bucs brand new so getting the viltrox for low light and just a different look is not bank breaking. I’ll have a lite weight Fuji 35 and a low lite beauty beast for less than the price of the Fuji 1.4. I gotta get the 85 first though. Hopefully viltrox will come out with a version 2 by then. Good review!
Watched your video, bought the lens. Thanks for your words, time and effort. You're 10/10.
Ken hello, have you compared it with the fuji 33 f/1.4. ? As far as quality is the 33 better than the Fuji 18 f/1.4 ? Thanks Ken, take care
I bought this lens last year but unfortunately dropped my xt1 and the lens broke clean off the mount. Think it's worth buying another Viltrox 33mm f1.4 or a 7artisans 35mm 0.95 instead?
I just ordered this lens. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge with us, Ken!
I just learned this lens could possibly damage the X-Pro3. What is your experience with this?
Thank you for sharing, Ken.
Could you have opinions on this lens with an infrared camera/photography please? Would it work well with hotspot or astrophotography? Thank you again for your sharing.
Ken some people reported freezing (lock up) issues on their fujis when using the 85mm viltrox. Possibly due to it being reverse engineered. Have you had this issue at any time either with the 85 or the 33?
I heard they got an update and the issue nolonger exists. Heard it from other youtube videos. Claiming in 48 hrs of finding out, Viltrox released a firmware update to fix the issue.
Ken, I really appreciate your informative reviews.
Is Viltrox color saturation comparable to that of Voigtlander 40/1.2, and would you also rate Viltrox 33mm as a "microcontrast winner" and "as a perfect optical instrument" as you rated Fuji 35/1.4 in your Fuji book?
Many thanks for your continuing effort!
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Anders Kamden instablaster :)
@Holden London thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Holden London it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Anders Kamden no problem =)
Cheers Ken, thanks for your book and review - much appreciated. Viltrox seems to be producing magic lenses at a fantastic price! I plan to get a couple! I sold my Fuji 23mm F1.4. I really miss it but thinking of the Viltrox now and the Viltrox 52mm 1.4
Hello, thank you for the precious information. I have one question if you may spend some time to answered. What could appende if Viltrox stop firmware updates, is that going to impact the functionality. There could be any sw interfere between an old sw on the lent and new sw on the camera. I hope sw want to work always.
My question is related to all viltrox lenses.
Thank you.
Ken, again a great review. I just bought my copy and can't wait to get it. Stay safe!
How would you rate this lens vs the fujinon 35mm f2? Thanks
Honestly with the xc option now I don't think I'd go for the viltrox tbh
@@rezzoc91 Viltrox over XC for build quality and extra stop of light. Almost as sharp at F2 as well
Hi
Quick question if I may: have you ever come across the Zeiss Touit 32mm f1.8 for Fuji?
Thanks
Caula
Thanks Ken, you are great! And have you shared the example of pics of this new 33mm beast? Can't find the link..
Could you show us exactly where you found the information about this "crystal glass"
How does the af perform on video like tracking continuous
Ken, is there any lens correction in the camera?
Thnks for your review. I have a question: Does the clickless aperture click in "A" position?
Yes
So the 23mm 1.4 Viltrox is out, one of my favorite focal lengths, excited for the review to come out👍
Instantly subbed. Cant believe i havent stumbled on to you before on YT
just received mine. updated the firmware. wonderful.
I wonder how the bokeh ball after it stopped down a little. Wide open, the balls in the corners are distorted to cat eye shaped. Will it become perfect sphere after closing it down to like f1.8 or f2?
Do you have a sample raw photos available for download?
What a nice video. I wonder wich one you would choose between this one and the 7Artisans 35mm f/0,95. The 7Artisans costs the same. It receives more light... but, no af. What about IQ ? Thank you very much.
There is no better 35 than Samyang 35 1.2 for crop bodies. Best IQ
Hey Ken! A little unrelated but, would you happen to know if bluetooth devices can be harmed by a magnet of considerable strength? Not like an electromagnet but a decently strong medium sized consumer grade magnet? I figured if anyone would know it would be you. Thanks 👍
Bought! Great review as always
Thanks to review this nice lens ! ( very good buy for Fuji system)
I would say the value of the XF 35mm 1.4 is in its unique character, which is why it's so beloved. Have to see a lot more samples to really see if this lens can compare.
ITS OVER TWICE THE $$$$$$$$$ HOWEVER
Hey Ken. Please make a video about expensive horrible lenses. Please try to include ones from a variety of brands 🙏
Thanks for your efforts Ken. Great honest review. Will definitely get this for my Eos-M6ii
Fuji decided to follow the 33mm focal length after all with their upcoming apparently amazing and awesome lens. Hope it's as good as it looks on paper. Can't wait to Sep 2.
how is micro contrast?
Can you please compare the image quality against the Mitakon 35mm 0.95? Which one would you recommend given that you have no problems with manual focus? Thanks in advance!
the mitakon is far more etherial bokeh, and the the mitakon is lot more heavy and no AF of course
Theoria Apophasis thank you very much!!! 🙏
Great review Ken! Just a quick question, will the 35mm 1.4 lens hood fit on the viltrox?
Nope
Been waiting for this - just happened to reload the page just as you uploaded this!
That into music 👍 Keep it coming! Stay safe!
Wow 9:20 you are so generous. I’m going to order it now 😊 thank you for the great review
is this lens weather sealed?
I appreciate your efforts and your honest reviews :)
Great info! Did you try it for infrared? ……..Please? lol
Which X mount lenses have the best true to life color rendition? I thought that most ones with low F number where good (e.g. 35 1.4).
60mm 2.4.....80mm ....50-140 ...16mm 1.4
@@kathodosdotcom Great, Thank You :)
Fast moter in it for vid?
The Empire Strikes Back! Fujifilm 33mm f/1.4 is out now. My theory is that the Fujifilm engineers watched this review, knew you were right, and set out to build a better Vlltrox.
I'll be interested to see your review.
PS: You need a new "perk level icon" for the 3-year members, which I will be in a month.
did your cameras take an extra 5 seconds to turn on with this lens? After a 2 weeks, now my camera won't turn on at all with this lens on it.
33... lol. Nothin about you, it's just that that number has been following me since 2015.
They always die or kill or rise up or are disappeared at that age. Numerology is powerful.
i already have fuji 35mm.f2 please compare to VILTROX 33MM f1.4 WHICH ONE U WOULD TAKE??
I NEVER buy a lens until I hear from you.
Thanks for your review on this lens. Very informative.
If I already have the Fuji 35mm f1.4, do you recommend me selling it to buy the Viltrox and use the left over money to buy another lens?
@What Are You On About I find the focal length difficult to use for a general purpose lens, but love it for portraits. BTW, it's my only lens right now and I'm actually considering a 23mm for general use.
is it smooth on focus in video ?
butttttter
Thanx man!
Great work!!
Think Im gonna try this lens, Ken. Thanks
Hi Ken, Viltrox makes a 20mm 1.8 for the nikon z cameras. Have you tried it at all? I know you don’t particularly like the z cameras, but I’d be interested in hearing your opinion.
i have not, no :)
Theoria Apophasis Any chance you might review it in the future? 😀
What’s wrong with onion rings? They taste good.
Hey Ken, any opinions on Voigtlander colorskopar 18mm f2.8
Thank you, I needed your input here 😊
Nice review mr Ken !!
I wanna ask, is it worth if i sell my fujinon 35mm f1.4 to buy this lens? Is viltrox 33mm really better?
Hi if you can then buy the viltrox 33mm 1.4 and compare using it with the Fuji 35mm 1.4. Both lenses have their own character, you may like and keep both lenses or maybe just one lens this way you can test without any regrets. But for me I have the 35-1.4/ 35-2 and now the viltrox 33-1.4 and I love all three lenses.
I want to see this compared to the Pergear 35mm f1.4 ($60)
Will you ask Viltrox to make a auto focus 11 mm 1.8 lens
Did you review the other Viltrox AF lenses for X mount?
the 85? yessssss
@@kathodosdotcom Actually, I was considering buying the 23mm f1.4 for X mount from Viltrox. I don't have either of Fuji's 23mm lenses. I'd be curious to know what you thought of the Viltrox 23mm before I buy?
Thank you for the great review.
I can’t believe I have been watching your videos for the last year and not subscribed! Sorry 😮
Can you help me by telling me how I focus 3 or 4 people with a 33 mm Viltrox at an aperture of 1.4? I always get more than one person out of focus. thank you and sincere greetings from Mexico...
You don't shoot groups at 1.4. you probably could do a couple but they would need to be on the same plane.
@@Princeton_James thanks
Thanks Ken. Now the next 23mm 1.4!
Thanks. Great review as always
@Ken Why is this a wide angle lens? 33mm in terms of FF give the same angle as a 50mm, no?
any focal wider than 35mm is the barrier of what IS technically WIDE......... thats FOV, not FOCAL !!!!!!
Theoria Apophasis You’re right.
I made the mistake.
So what you are saying is the lens is a wide angle in specification. Yet once it is put on the Fuji crop factor APSC sensor it is no longer wide angle. Because of the sensor size and crop factor. So it is technically correct for it to be a wide angle lens that is no longer wide angle once used on the Fuji system.
How about Viltrox 23mm 1.4, 33mm 1.4, and 55mm 1.4 to their countepart Fuji XF Lenses soon
I bought the xt3 Because of you and that was the best camera decision ever, and now I am definitely getting this lens because of this review. Thanks man
its so cheap and so awesome :)
Autofocus aside. How does this compare in image quality to the Mitakon 35mm f0.95??
the mitakon is creamier and nicer in several ways
now Viltrox needs as 12 or 14 f1.4 for Fuji, would be great for weddings
They are supposed to come out with a 13mm 1.4 in 2021 for APS C cameras
très très bien :D
Yea...Lenses...interesting...how about taking shots with said lenses and showing us mere mortals how good or bad they are in the field..would be very helpful...can't seem to find a page with your shots which seems a bit odd..or am İ just looking In the wrong place?...a Link would be helpful!
I had to go & peek at the Viltrox site. No lenses for M43 cameras. For an affordable lens company from China, I'm a bit surprised with that result. Huh.... Well, enjoy folks! Looks like my trumpybucks are going into my agricultural endeavors, so no X-T4 in my near future. :v( Pooooo!
@Comfy Reviews I will look into that. Many thanks!
I love your french accent. !!
Interesting. I like the 1.4 :) Guess what, i have been confirmed that my xt4 is arriving this week:) But this lense here you are talking about looks darn nice.
Tom's Little Corner Who did you order yours from?
@@zaknuanez7720 Stjordalfoto.no, its a great camerashop,helped me so much.
How is focus breathing? If there is a much breathing then is unusable for video.
I looked at this and ordered it straight after.
$280. If I was feeling spendy one day then I'd get this. Already own the 35mm f2 so it's a no go for me. For people looking to get an inexpensive kit for street and portrait photography, a used X-H1 with the Viltrox 85mm and the 33mm seems like a real winner. Even the 23mm when it comes out depending on the price and performance.
85mm is amazing indeed
@@michaklaarenbeek7966 A lot of people dig it. I'm still after the 90mm myself though.
Torn up between 35mm f2 and this lens. Can you give a suggestion? Thanks
@@binchopet22 I went with the 35mm f2. If the Viltrox was available at the time I made my purchase I'd still go with the Fuji. It has great image quality, the AF is fast and accurate, it is super small and light, and it's weather resistant. Say what you will about WR but even a little bit helps and I do want to shoot in wet weather. A lot of people will complain about being f2, but shallow DOF isn't everything and people shouldn't be afraid of low light, boost the ISO. Or make the lack of light work for you. Play with silhouettes, shadows, specks of light, or highlights. Use a flash.
Hope that helps somewhat.
Ken, given the price point for this lens it is likely made in China? Is that a good guess?
@Comfy Reviews That's what I figured, and I do take Ken's reviews very seriously and therefore this is likely an amazing lens. Heck, I switched from Nikon (very long time user) to Fuiji based on Ken's information, and I am very happy. But with everything that has recently happened, I think I will vote with my wallet.
On Flicker the Viltrox micro contrast is outstanding. I think it destroys the Fuji 35mm f1.4 and perhaps beats the Fuji 33mm f1.4. Especially at its price, but the green chromatic bokah is rather irritating. Maybe it can be fixed in post? Idk.
I don't know if someone will interesting for this information, but few day ago I asked to my friend to call to one compnay in Chian who make stepping motors, also for lenses, and sale in different countries includign Japan, and they told us tomake stepping motor is most easy in the world, and cheap too, most theyr motors cost between 2 and 7 USD. In fact its an electromagnetic motors, without any contacts between rotor and electromagnets. And we will see new Vitrox 23mm F1.4 and 55mm F1.4 lenses.
İf you drop the camera, metal lens hood transfers shock directly to lens which causes breakdown the lens. Whereas plastic lens hood absorbs shock and prevent lens from breaking down. Like the plastic car bumper
please compare this lense with xf 35mm f1.4
Thank you!!!!
aaaaahhhh I just got an me email saying that my order will be refunded as they sold out.
that sucks.. how long ago did you order? I ordered mine about 6 days ago and no indication of it being sold out.
@Comfy Reviews ordered mine a week ago from aliexpress,
still hasn't shipped :-(
Isin't onion rings are from aspherical elements in the lens?
Personally waiting on the 56mm 1.4 review. This review was good btw
I love that lens!
According to one of Andrew's review of this lens, he said viltrox 33 mm f1.4 has chromatic aberration and Fuji 35mm f2 has none with test shots.
Any comments on the VILTROX AF 23MM F1.4 XF-Mount?
its coming
