I honestly don't even care about the lens, I came here just for the cinematography straight out of your spaceship hahaha.
Hahahah. Thank you so much my friend!
And the quality of the sample images ♥️ :')
You deserve way more subscribers. The quality of these reviews is insane
I appreciate that!
they will come.. be happy your here first
To bad the shit he reviews is garbage
Ignore the keyboard warriors, your reviews are some of my favourite 🙌
@@michaelmercado1953 there are enough people reviewing the mainstream stuff. Why did you even watch the video then
Can anyone explain the lore behind the spaceship he records from?
I love this comment.
His B-roll isn’t from this world
GxAce me too. 🙂
@@ipablo16 lol
Here for the new hairstyle 🤘
This is some of the best content on YT for cameras. The b roll, the set design, the photo examples, the dialogue, it’s all amazing and very unique. Please keep it up!
I am a Fuji user (from canon) your channel is absolutely outstanding. Amazing content, grading and pacing. Audio is also on point. But your lighting... so good. Love the aesthetic here. Thank you for making content.
- thank you for consistently making high-quality, cinematic and thoughtful reviews Casey. i usually skip tech/gear reviews, but not yours. 👏🏻
I appreciate that! I only plan on doing the gear stuff until I can grow my channel a bit more.
The fact you chose to comment that on this garbage product. Tells a whole story. Either your comment was paid for. Or you're extremely naive. viltrox is a garbage company with garbage equipment
@@michaelmercado1953 I'm a shill. You caught me. Thanks for increasing the engagement on my videos by taking the time to reply. Really helps my channel out :)
@@michaelmercado1953 Hey Michael what gear do you use? Do you have a channel or insta page I can view your shots?
@@michaelmercado1953 lololol
Don’t comment much on videos, but wow your videos are stunning. So peaceful and calming to watch, yet so thorough. Love how the reviews focus more on the feel and character of the items. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment then! Specs are specs. It honestly doesn't matter what camera or lenses you use haha. Just find stuff that inspires you in new ways.
And I’m so glad you dropped that preset pack, I’m buying IMMEDIATELY. Keep it up, you make quality work. Anything I can do to support!
Much appreciated! Thank you so much, it really means a lot!
@@GxAce where can i find your preset pack?
@@TrenchfootSalvador There is a link in the description, or you can just head to gxace.com/shop
@@GxAce THANKS LOTS MAN!
Why are you apologizing, I love the photos haha
Just not the type of photos I'm usually happy with haha. Thanks!
Seriously right before you said that in the video I said to myself, "I fucking love his photos."
@@GxAce photos look great , so happy that 3rd party options show up for fuji , i was a bit reluctant to go to fuji system since the top choices for lens are so expensive , but i love the results , i don't know , it may be the x trans filter :D.
I really love your editing style. It gives me some sort of post apocalyptic and analog vibes with more dark pictures. Great Work!
I was holding back of the lens due to some optical imperfections and not being so sharp, but your videos showed me otherwise. It's a great photographer that makes a great picture, not the lens alone.
You are one of the best fuji reviewers on youtube
Seriously, thank you so much!
Love your “noisy” pictures where we can admire them as they are not caring about “perfect pixels”. One of the best Fuji channels here !
I don’t like showing plain out of camera images (except for the amazing out of camera Fuji files). I love to add grain and always shoot auto ISO because I could care less what ISO my camera chooses. I’m glad you appreciate it as well!
I don't own a Fuji camera (anymore), but I really enjoy watching your videos. Definitely some of the best gear reviews out there!
I love the bubble bokeh of this lens. It definitely has the vintage look you talk about. It reminds of vintage lens that add character to photos like the Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Trioplan 100mm f:2.8.
That's a good comparison! People seem to hate modern lenses with flaws so much and it really annoys me. That's why we have these awesome small mirrorless cameras now with HUGE lenses because they are trying to design out all of the character.
definitely buying your LUT pack man, love your style, looks grungy & cinematic
Thank you so much my friend! Your support means a lot to me! I hope you enjoy the presets!
super sick video man ! i love how the lens feels very helios while having autofocus
Thanks! That's a good comparison! Definitely has that vibe in certain situations.
Awesome! I love your videos. Am a filmmaker as well. And your videos have such a unique vibe to them. I hope you make more and that your channel grows and grows.
Amazing review as always GX!
Glad you enjoyed it!
what a lovely photo, , thanks for the review man, i really enjoy it , ,
I cannot believe this guy doesn't have more subs. This is the best looking photo/video-themed channel I've seen so far on RUclips. I suspect you're a blade runner fan, judging by your talking head section :D
Keep doing what you're doing!
I bought my XT3 because of your video you made. I just recently purchased this Viltrox 23mm to compliment my Fuji 35mm f2. This morning I was on the fence whether to return it because of CA & abnormalities. Just watched this video and now I'm passionate about keeping it haha. Your videos are unrivalled. I will watch anything you put out multiple times. I just bought the preset pack to support you and see whether I can get a touch of that cinematic mood. Dude -- please keep making videos on this channel.
Wow that's great! I'm glad I could help you find a camera. Thank you so much for purchasing the preset pack! There are way less "bad" lenses than people realize, just different ones.
You are my new favorite youtuber! Love your work.
Wow, thanks! That's quite an honor.
How have I only just found your youtube?? Not only great videos but your photography is stellar.
Great review as always. I love your X-Wing cockpit looking studio
Thanks! If only it were an X-Wing, or better yet an A-wing ;P
Its more Imperium style, i like it :)
@@LucasHalastra Perhaps a little Adeptus Mechanicus
@@GxAce let's not miss the perfect opportunity to name your spaceship GX-Wing!
man I absolutely love your photos and the whole feel of your videos.you're a big inspiration for me.
the lens looks like a good deal but I really want the weather sealing of the f2s since I live in England haha
Glad you like them! I was worried people would find the photos boring in this video since I haven't gotten out much during COVID. Fair enough! Weather sealing is definitely a plus, especially in England ;P Cheers!
Wow. My fav lens is my 23 f2 but this is exactly what I needed to see. Thanks man! I guess I’m gonna have a new fav lens
It's great if you want that 1.4 but don't feel like spending $900.
Defending the universe while reviewing 3rd party lenses. Kudos to you sir. As always, great review!
GxAce blesses us again. Incredible content sir you are the best.
Thanks so much for watching my friend! You are far too kind.
Man, this lens is exactly what I've been waiting for for my X-T20! Especially from the pricing point of view. Thanks for introducing me to it and pointing out the pluses as well as weaknesses. I'm looking forward to saving up for it. Lovely photos, btw.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Ondro klidně piš česky, ať jsme světoví
i just come to see your intro. really like the idea of detailing the lens with macro shot
It's great, as always. Love photos 💯
Thank you so much 😀
Man! Once again your video is incredible! I love your style of making these reviwes. I must say that for this price point, this lens delivers very nice image and also it's good that fuji system is opening more for the third-party lenses.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
@@GxAce You deserve much more subscribers tbh. You put so much effort to make this videos for us and I'm glad that i found your XT-3 video back then
@@kurozwecki Thank you so much, seriously. It really means a lot to hear such great feedback.
Love the style of the video - studio, music and of course the comprehensive review. Still consider your review of the XT3 as one of the best (of any camera reviews).
Wow Thank you so much!
I think I’ve watched this video 3 times and it probably won’t be the last. Just so easy and enthralling to watch.
Hey, great video! Thank you ! And yeah... it seems like a no brainier! Didn't know about this lens until your video!
love your reviews man... you can see the time and love you put into them, it's beautiful to watch... any chance of a studio tour at some point? that'd be so dope!
Thank you so much for the appreciation. Sometimes its hard to find the motivation to put in the work, but comments like these make it worth it. I may do a tour... Its so embarrassingly low budget though hahah. Like mind blowingly low budget hahaha.
@@GxAce You bet! I know the feeling! And low budget setups are the best because that's where the creator's creativity really shines! doiiiiiit!!
No way, if he does a tour it'll ruin the illusion. A small part of me believes he's on a space ship, I want to keep it that way!
@@clintwood1983 good point!
Bro! I am not even going to lie, I have zero desire to use Fuji camera but damn I will watch your reviews. Your style blows my mind! Keep this up dude. Kudos!
Hahaha. That's awesome. Thank you so much for the support!
Bro! You're missing out!
Your photos look like they were taken straight out of a movie. Amazing!
Thank you! I love movies so I always try to invoke a similar feeling in my photos.
thanks for visiting Earth again to review this lens! great work
I love this! Thanks for watching!
Really like your style of your videos and your photography at all!
Thank you!
Great video! I learned a lot and I'm pretty much sold on this lens now lol
Dude, this is great work. I will search wide lens for one shot and i think i found that. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Hi, I just wanna say, please keep making great content like this. I honestly love your video reviews and it is simply on of the best out there. Your art direction and cinematography is awesome! Any plans for reviewing Voigtlanders? Cheers mate!
Your style is uniqe and great. Movie-like. Keep going!
I have an X-H1and this Viltrox lens just coming.
Love your videos and new hair!
Thanks!! Its my quarantine hair hahah.
Why you don't have 500k followers is still beyond me! Great content, thanks heaps. Cheers from France 🤙🏻
Maybe one day! Thanks for watching!
I always really like your videos man..! Congrats.
I'm holding for the tele end of the trio.
I own the Fuji 16mm f1.4 , and the pancake 27mm.
I got stuck between the 80mm macro and the 90mm f2, but neither of them convinced me, for the price. The 80mm is huge and the bokeh rendering is kind of dry...and the 90mm has no OIS.
Hope these guys release a +75mm tele..sometime in the future..
Thanks ;)
Cheers from.Portugal
Just an idea, maybe try to add bits and pieces of the "lore" behind your spaceship in each video? That would be awesome!
Get out of my head ;)
Blown away, as usual. Also, you just saved me like 400 bucks. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Subscribed! Awesome review.
All of us want a studio setup video just to appreciate the look and feel of your content.
It might be a bit too embarrassingly low budget hahah.
Beautiful content my friend 😲😲😲 how does it feel to live outside the matrix 😋 (your video gave me that cool vibe)... i will never stop following your account 👍🏼
Love the glow, the green, the noise. Damn.
Thank you for making this review.
Love your work, thank you. I also share your view about lens characteristics. Take care.
I’m not even a Fuji user and I watch all your videos, music choice always on spot
Thank you so much! What camera do you shoot with?
the background, is the why i subscribing now!
Lovely work man. It seems like a solid buy. I already have the Fuji 23 1.4 and an X100F though so I wont be buying this lens, but I think its great Viltrox is making these lenses and Fuji has finally officially opened the mount to 3rd parties to produce.
The future is definitely looking bright! Thanks!!
Great looking channel. Love the detail on how you present yourself.
I was wondering whether you still use this lens though? Im considering getting it for trips and such.
stunning!!
Thank you! Cheers!
hands down the best review on this planet
Hahah. Thank you so much! Are you sure we are on the same planet though? ;P
Great video. Thank you for the effort)
My pleasure!
Loved the images, btw did you use speedbooster while taking those images?
Thank you for the review 🙏🏽💯
Waiting on your 13mm viltrox review !!
photos r great already
I love watching your video on my 21:9 monitor
ARRECHISIMO ESTE VIDEO. Excuse me, I meant this video is awesome, is from another world!
Great Video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing review
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm owned this len and it's absolutely nail !
Amazing video!!!! keep it up, I do have a question tho I'm kinda wondering how did you get anamorphic like photos??
Same here!
I shoot Sony and their system lacked an affordable midrange f/2.8 zoom and tamron provided excellent, small, light and affordable alternatives to the pricy Sony GM line.
These third party lenses make or break a system, because lens availability is half of the equation!
Fuji bodies are amazing, but with newer AF motors they're almost useless for video and still a bit pricey.
Please release the protocol so we get Tamron and Sigma lenses into the system!
Nice review! Btw has a new firmware update sorted the quick focus racking for this lens yet?
MAN! Your grades both video and photos are really great. Would love some insight
really nice review. please do one for the 56mm.
Just ordered the lens with your link
Hey GxAce, do you use square 4x4 or round filter for your lenses? If you tried them both, have you noticed any difference? Thanks in advance!
20 seconds in... you've earned my like.
That shot at 2:08 is apocalyptic. It really makes me think of End of Evangelion.
That's an awesome comparison! I've only watched the original series though, but I totally see what you mean!
GxAce if you enjoyed the main series then I would say you owe it yourself to watch EoE (and if you didn’t enjoy it then you can just ignore this lol). It serves as a parallel/supplementary ending and the events in it are synchronous with the events of episodes 25 & 26 of the show. It’s also got some of the most striking visual moments out of the entire series imo.
Bro you are my favorite aesthetic on God
Wow, thanks
Great video. Have you tried out the new firmware 1.0.7 for video?
Amazing review and photo samples. Did you use a glimmer glass filter for these sample photos? Cheers from Australia!
Yes I did! Not every single one but pretty much all of them a Glimmer Glass 1 filter. Thanks for watching!
so when are you planning to take xf 50mm f1 to your space station
I thinkthat you can make it clicked apture by assigning the apture to the front dial.. I don't have the lens but I'm planning to grab one. Thanks for the great review though 👍🏽 .
Unfortunately the aperture ring will still move smoothly with no clicks. Thanks for watching!
great review!! does anyone know if the autofocus problems for video were updated in any of the new firmware updates?
You think they will fix the issue with focus speed settings with firmware? Is this an issue with other viltrox lenses?
I had the Fujifilm version but it's too big for a 23mm run about lens for me. Also it was too optically perfect for me. It was quite a boring lens, so I sold it after two weeks. Just ordered a Viltrox, hopefully it is the right one, I like shooting at 35mm (full frame) so a smaller version with character is going to be interesting :-)
Awesome video man. Love the haircut BTW✌️
Hey, thanks!
This lens certainly was on my radar, but the clickless aperture as well as the somewhat large size let my get the xf 23mm f2. Bumping the aperture dial is my biggest concern with the xf18-55. As far as i know tokina will rebrand these lenses maybe they change the aperture to be clicky if this is at all possible
That's a good point! I wonder if they will updated that.
Hey dude where did you get that fat red shutter button for your camera? I like it!
Are the presets designed to work with RAW files or with Fuji jpg?
By the way great video as always. I think I saw your xt3 review 3 or 4 times. I just loved the vibe, editing and colors
Mainly for RAW, but you probably could apply them to JPGs too. Haha! Wow, I can't believe you've watched it so many times! Thanks!
GxAce also, you should release some luts for video. Is that something you have in mind? I would love yo get a pack of your presets
Great review! I also own the Fujifilm and Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 lenses.
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Are you still happy with your viltrox 23mm lens, if so do you recommend this lens to start a RUclips channel?
@@joonajks Very much so indeed. I prefer it to their 33mm.
@@BenjaminKanarek wow thank you 🙏🏿
What's a good distance between the camera and the subject with this lens recording talking heads video?
I mainly came here for the cinematic skills! Got my popcorn ready... lets go!!! Edit: Nice Presets but IMO to expensive.
Thanks for watching! It's my first time ever putting out a preset pack so I'm sorta feeling out what to price it at. Thanks for the input, it's really helpful! :)
@@GxAce Np dude! Really appreciating your incredible work! Your content is simpyl stunning to say at least! I am a "fulltime youtube watcher" hahah and your visuals are one of the best I´ve seen in ten years! Only "Make.Art.Now" is competing with this!
Speaking of pricing: I think you would do better with 15$ for your pack. MOst of the packs are in this price category. And tbh there are only five presets I guess? Other photographer/ youtuber give 10-15 individual presets for 15-25 dollars.
Keep up your incredible work in your space ship ,:-)
That's what I have been longing for this year: a vintage lens with autofocus. Will Pergear also provide you with the Viltrox 33mm for review? I also agree with the others in the audience: let's have more info. on this spaceship you own.
I will definitely try to get my hands on one! Thanks for watching! I do plan on fleshing out lore at some point:)
The new firmware which fixes Video AF is online! Will be great if you could test it
Best shot fuckin camera gear videos I ever saw hot damn my guy
Viltrox needs to make 16mm f1.4 lens too. I'm pretty sure it will be amazing!
Did you travel in time!? I haven't seen you upload this frequent!
Hahah. Its incredible, I know. ;P
@@GxAce good job again! Hope to see you become more frequent! I've been dialing back content to focus more on the B-roll and scripted A-roll.
