    When I finally bought the Viltrox 23mm, I was so impressed despite the fringing. It is light, compact, and the AF is fast. My Fujifilm 16mm 1.4, 35mm 1.4, and 56mm 1.2 all exhibit fringing and flaring (which I like) but the only one with fast AF was the 16mm. So it was then that I decided to finally let go of my Fujinon lenses and ordered the Viltrox 56mm. I'll be checking out the Viltrox 13mm if it comes out too as a replacement to the Fujifilm 16mm (which is now too close in range to the 23mm). Only the Fujifilm 35mm remains but I have already ordered a Mitakon 35mm 0.95 and I'll see if I'll end up selling it too. Viltrox is on a roll with their Fujifilm lenses. Great value and more compact, faster in autofocus, and has the same filter sizes (!!!).

    Excellent review, sir! I hadn't considered buying a "non-Fuji" lens for my X-T3 until watching some of your Viltrox reviews. It's nice to know that there are more than adequate options available for my camera when it comes to the lenses!

    I have quite a few of Fujifilm's best lenses including the 90mm f2 (awesome awesome) and on a whim got the 56mm f1.4 Viltrox. I must admit that it's WAY better than I was expecting. Very very sharp wide open, beautiful bokeh, just an overall great lens. It's a keeper for sure. Great review and thank you.

    Holy Moly! Viltrox now has my full attention !! What a blessing for those, like me, who have always wanted to add an additional lens or two but could never justify the Fuji cost. I have accepted that the only two additional lenses I bought would be the end...until now! I checked the Fuji 56mm out when it was released and loved it but couldn't afford another 1200.00 (the then price) and have been watching it in the hopes of it becoming affordable. Thx so much Chris! I did pay full price for the Fuji 16mm f/1.4 ...and thought it to be my last Fuji purchase. Viltrox, here I come!

    You just put this lens on my list. I wanted something for portraits on my fuji but it was hard choosing between the 56mm f/1.2 and the 50mm f/2. But this seems like the best of both worlds. Wide aperture, low cost, light, quick autofocus. Could be my favorite lens when I get my hands on it.

    However, I do wonder about the built of it in the long term. How well will it work in another five or ten years, compared to the fuji 56mm? Only time can tell I suppose.

    Great video and channel! I just purchased this Viltrox lens. The focus ring is not responding?! I have it in Manual Mode on front of camera and the focus ring does not focus at all... Auto mode works fine when I use the touch screen to focus on different areas. Quick and snappy, but when I use the focus ring in manual mode nothing happens. I also have the Viltrox 33mm lens and with current settings on my XT3 the focus ring works just fine. I pop on the new 56mm and nothing! Any thoughts?!

  • @kevinlee3597

    One observation about the Vitrox with the brick wall sharpness test is that it seems like the Fuji 56mm is about 1/3 to 1/2 stop overexposed with the same exposure setting vs. the Viltrox
    This explains the lack of contrast.

    Chris,
    I love your videos and appreciate all you do for our Fujifilm community. I have this lens and have had it for some time. I love the images I see on the LCD when reviewing on my T5, T3, T30 and E3 when I had it. However when I import them into my iPhone via the SD card the images are not the same as what I see on the back of the camera. The iPhone seems oversaturated and the shadows are much darker. The phone seems to obliterate some of the detail and has caused me to not use it that often. Have you heard of this ? Do you have any ideas on what I can do to correct this ? I am importing JPEGS and can not seem to get them to match. Am I not understanding something here or is there is something else I can do ? I really appreciate all you do for our photography community and look forward to your response.
    TY

    I have the Viltrox 23mm, 56mm, and 85mm. While the only Fuji prime I own is the 35mm f/2, I have nothing but good things to say about the Viltrox primes. For lenses performing almost undetectably shy of the Fuji offerings, the price says it all. I'd have to be a professional to justify $400 extra per lens for a sliver of corner sharpness at wide apertures.

    I do have the Fuji 50mm F2, do you think it's worth getting it for just 1 stop more? I was considering a used Fuji 56mm F1.2 instead which gives almost 2 stops. Also I'm always worried about the long-term compatibility of the Viltrox lenses.

      Michael Moerkamp I have a xf50F2...super fast AF on my XH1, nice colors. Sharp and pleasing output...currently my fav with 35f1.4

    Hi! My first time here.. (And thank you for the info)... I wonder if it is compatible with X-T10?

    This is such a steal for my fuji. The 1.2 is way too expensive for me even from second hand.

    I am always mostly interested in the tonality of lenses. That is why I love how my Fujinon 35mm f1.4, 60mm f2.4 and 27mm f2.8 renders, and why I sold all my Fujinon f2’s. I just didn’t like how they rendered - something about how they handle light falloff. I now own the Viltrox 23mm and 85mm, and I love them both. They are sharp, yes, but most importantly they render beautifully, and if you are like me and hate post, you want your images to be close to perfect sooc. Will I get this Viltrox? I think so, but still can’t figure out if it will be redundant to my 60mm.

      60mm is half macro. I'd get 80mm macro if that's your purpose of having it
