- The lens is a beauty and for Fuji, quite a steal. Built well, focuses quick and tack sharp. You only have to decide if you need it. All shots where captured with the old Fuji X-Pro1.

This video was recored in August 2023, just before I decided to extend my break from RUclips. In the video you probably see why. It's also the reason for the some what uninspired sample shots.

The small pair of hands popping into frame made me chuckle every time. Glad you're teaching her proper lens care. #dadlife 😄

The second pair of hands makes up for it all 🤣, loved it!
My son is two and a half, so I absolutely understand the need to take a break -- and found it hilarious when that extra pair of hands jumped into the shot. Brilliant! Keep up the good work as a parent and, when you have time, camera reviewer.
Hahaha that small pair of hands are so busy. Absolutely adorable.
Definitely miss your videos, but more than understandable. We’ll be here when you have time… in a decade or so 😂
you do an amazing job with your content Mattias! post when you can, we love your work!
Omg, I love the little helping hands! I want more reviews like this.
Her hands are much bigger now. But I’m sure she will be interested when we record the next one this weekend.
Your assistant is nailing this whole youtube thing!
Yes. Unnecessary, but very welcomed. Happy the break is going well.
LOVE the new assistant. please thank her. thank you for the effort and sharing. thumbs up.
👏👏👏 The best review I've seen in a long time.
I bought this lens to fill the role of both my 35mm F1.4 and my 23mm F1.4 lenses in my pro-kit and haven't looked back. Having a 40mm equivalent lens fills both roles well enough and simplifies my kit to one less lens.
The lovely addition of those little hands generate a new video category: do not stop make this kind of content, is so special ❤
Now we see the real hands operating the camera....I knew it wasn't you!!! 😂
Loved the baby hands!! As a videographer with an 18month old it made me smile in recognition.
the best "hands on" lens review on youtube.
😂😂😂
One think for sure i am glad here is to see my X-Pro1 still in use capturing excellent photos with this lens too!
Thanks for sharing, awesome lens! And very smart baby..
Happy to watch your videos again. Welcome back! Strong greetings from Ukraine!
Glad to hear 👍
Love the little help you got there 😂 This is so short but also so worth it.
Those samples were superb as always
And yes that's a huge lens
This is probably my favorite lens for my Fujifilm camera. The Quality could be from Fujifilm - sharp, crispy and fast. And 1.2 is just great.
Your vids are still good. Your shots give us good idea of what they're like. Keep on keeping on.
I don't believe most so called Reviews, Mattias, but when I get green lights from you, I'm starting to think about buying it 😊😊😊
Hi Mattias, I missed your reviews, they are unique!!
A while ago I had the Canon XC15 thanks to the reviews you have done, last year I sold it and bought a Fujifilm X-S20 with the 18-120 F4 Power Zoom. I wanted to build a camcorder similar to the Canon but with the larger sensor and Fujifilm colors. The combo is really good but I'd like to know your opinion on the 18-120 PZ, which is designed for video but has a low rating for photography (and I don't know why). Thank you so much and congrats for your child!
I haven’t tried it. I shoot all my pro videos these days with prime lenses. 28 or 35mm. Or a 70-200 zoom.
Cute!
I like that you managed to grow some new tiny hands during your break 😂❤
Thanks
Thank you 🍻
Looks like you'll definitely be uploading much quicker now with the extra help you have for reviews.
Quick question ...Is 1.0.1 the newest firmware version for this lens ?? fot Fuji x mount cameras ??
Hmmm… even if everything has already been said about this lens, that doesn’t mean your audience has seen or heard it. Don’t underestimate the value of your reviews. Sadly, many other photographers on RUclips are boring, opinionated, snobby and jaded. Your content is a breath of fresh air. Thank you!
You have your priorities straight
The only thing holding me back is the size because I want a street photography lens (that doesn't draw attention, which i suffer from with my 17-70mm f2.8 Tamron). I might start with the Fujinom 27mm f2.8 WR and complete with this Viltrox if i need this extra low light + bokeh capability (night photos and portrait work) when i get more money... What do you think?
I'm all in for the 75mm f1.2 though 😍 I'm just still hesitant on which 27 I should get
I'm just an amateur btw but seriously considering going pro with events as main subject and street for fun so I might end up with all the 3 I described 😂
I've had a lot of fun with the TTArtisan 27/2.8. Dirt cheap, decent sharpness. It's got an odd character, tho, which is a love-it-or-hate-it. Heavy vignetting and a lot of cat's eye in the bokeh, almost to the point of swirling like a vintage lens. It's a bit bigger than the Fuji, and not WR, but the vintage character of the lens is hard to get this small, cheap, wide, or with Autofocus.
When ever I have a 27/2.8 it pretty much lives on the camera. For event shooting I would obviously choose the bigger lens.
@@thebitterfig9903 I'm afraid its character might be too much for my liking, though its price is enticing
@@gearreallydoesntmatter thanks for your insight! This 27×75 Viltrox combo just looks like a real good deal for professional work - no surprise it's the Pro line 👀
I'll likely end up adding the Fujinon for personal fun and suck up the extra cost :')
@@jahmalbaptiste9915 No harm in that. Part of what I love about it as a lens is that it's an interesting combination of cheap and (stylistically) niche.
Good to see another review from you, Matthias!
Also, such a cute successor to Krut with those tiny hands, "helping" with the lens hood.
I love my x pro 2. Too bad the dial is stuck on iso 800 and fuji said it was my fault.
It is a good ISO to not worry about
@@atselykovskiy I mean either way it is highly unacceptable for a camera of that price and class to have that issue
That’s a shame and Fuji should fix it for sure. With that said, 800 is probably the best one to be stuck at.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter I agree better then being stuck at 6400. At the fuji convention. A repair man told me I must have used it in the sun to much and the capacitor melted in place. They should fix it out of courtesy but nope.
@@atselykovskiy yeah I guess but they said I must have kept it the sun and it's my fault at the fuji show. Such a weird excuse
today I solved my gas problem and traded 3 cameras and lenses for a X100VI if I'm lucky it'll arrive next week but I still retain my ricoh gr's of course 🙂
Having fewer cameras always feels nice imo.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter yes I’m really starting to come around to the less is more idea I only 3 now maybe in time that’ll become 2 depends on my long term thoughts of the Ricoh gr iiix.
Photographers are getting so young these days ...
Your child said, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PUT THE CAP BACK ON!!! DON'T RUIN THE LENS!"
I just don't want to lug it around. I get it if someone does, but it's not for me. This and the 75 seem excellent optically, but I'll compromise for lightness.
I don’t think any lens is really meant to always be lugged around. I would rather get a fixed lens camera in that case. But I get your point. I’m reviewing a ten times bigger lens soon 😀
@@gearreallydoesntmatter I suppose the other way to put it is that if you don't need f/1.2 (and I don't), a 27/2.8 is probably a great alternative.
For sure.
do i have to ask myself the question do i own a Fuji?
Or a Sony or Nikon Z. I think it’s currently those three.
😂 you've already got me to spend a lot of £🤣
Do you see anything but lens through the OVF of the x-pro?!
A great lens, AF a little slow but it's f1.2 and I prefer the rendering to the 23 1.4 LM overall. Wish it wouldn't flare as much, but I'm not going to complain too much about lenses with character in what has become a very sterile landscape in terms of modern lens design.
I don't like having a lens that's bigger than the camera no matter how good it is. However 27 mm is good focal length.
No one likes it, but some need it. I dont enjoy the size of anything bigger than a 27mm pancake.
Is the Pro realy pro?
I am not convinced by Viltrox or the other chinese Manufacturers. I still have a trauma that resulted in a broken shutter because I used a focal length reducer that imported from China.
Now, I am very reluctant to buy any camera gear that is made there. Yes, this was 6 years ago or something. It was expensive for me.
There is a big difference between their Pro line and non-pro line imo. I totally get not wanting to buy stiff made in china, but with that said, quality is not always an issue. Ive had several iPhones and MacBooks over the years, they have all been fine. Several cameras like Fuji, Sony and so on which all have loads of parts if not the entire camera made in China. So its not always a gamble.
Curious on what reducer and camera you used?
Kid did great, he will have his own channel in no time.
I hope she stays away from social media for as long as possible :)
