  • In this video, I'll be working with the Viltrox 16mm f/1.8 ultra-wide prime lens for Nikon Z cameras. This lens is also available for Sony. First I'll give a brief look around the lens before taking it out for some long-exposure photography at a few locations around Chattanooga.

      Canon is about to release some more 1.4 primes so that might be nice. I agree, they need to open up the mount to more third party autofocus lenses.

    Phil, awesome review! Love seeing the Viltrox 16mm f/1.8 in action, especially with those landscape shots. Appreciate the deep dive into its features, like the weather sealing and smooth AF. Watching you put it through its paces makes it clear this is a solid choice for landscape work. Thanks for the detailed insights and inspiring shots!

    Great review! I haven’t owned/used a Viltrox lens before, but I’ve heard great things about them. Full-frame 16mm 1.8 is such a cool lens to have for many scenarios. I really liked the photo at 9:41 with that rock and leaves in the foreground

    Beautiful shots, Phil. Many of these third-party lenses are quite amazing, especially considering the price. I have a few of the really "cheap" Ttartisan lenses for Fuji and they are all satisfactory for my uses. I've never been to Signal Mountain. I'll have to get down there one day. Just retired from ETSU, so now have way more time for photography.

      I wish I had it in Canada. The morning we showed up at Lake Louise, you could see the stars over the mountains before sunrise. Not getting that shot is my one regret from the trip.

    Great shots! I am interested in the future to see its performance at f 1.8. I have the Nikon 14-30 and I agree that it is a small issue having larger filter and having to use different rings on my 24-70.

    I've had this lens in my sights since it was introduced. So far I've not made the purchase because I've got the Nikon 14-30.
    Did Viltrox send you this lens for review -> own?

    • @PhilThach
      @PhilThach  21 день назад

      I’ve had my sights on it too. I all but begged Viltrox to send me a review sample. They finally did. Usually, they ask me to review a lens, this time I asked them.

      Viltrox doesn’t make many or maybe any zoom lenses. Hopefully they will start making zooms at some point.
