So glad you used it for the headshot at the very start! I wish more channels did that.
I try to use it as much as possible so what better way than right from the start
Thanks for being the first review! Like with the Meike, it's great to actually see the performance of these such brand new lenses. Though since there isn't any info yet, it would've still been nice to see a test chart... and maybe a comparison with their own 1.4, or any of the other 55/56's, haha I know asking a lot. But lovely images from the field!
Thanks!!
I really like Viltrox. been using their 23mm f1.4 for video for the past year or so and love its build and IQ
Fancy this one? :D
it's not a focal length I shoot D 😞@@DamianBrown
Great review! I like the size of the viltrox 1.7, but i also like aperture rings... Which one would you keep as a low budget portrait lens, the viltrox 1.7 or the meike 1.4???
Ahhh I shouldn't really say until the third video is out but one has an aperture ring and is slightly faster which always makes me happier :D
Thank you, looking forward for the third video 👀
Its probably an excellent quality and value for money lens.
However, my high quality Sigma 56 1.4 continues to provide all the imaging quality I need.
As usual, an informative and common sense review, avoiding those arcane pixel peeping side issues.
Viltrox is certainly making a name for itself.
Btw, just love the 27 1.2 recently purchased. Happy with my long-term Fuji 27 2.8, however the slightly sharper imaging, weather sealing and, naturally, more light are naturally advantages.
Thanks, as usual, Damian.
Thanks Robert. Exactly, none of us that own 56mm lenses already will be looking at buying this. But there is a market for it.
Looking good rocking the beard, my man!
Getting used to it still!!
Lovely photos
Thanks!
Great review Damian. If it was £139 in the UK I'd probably just buy one, but at £175 I'd think twice. Not a huge difference but enought to make me think "do really I need it? "
Definitely have to agree with that! If you decide, mine is available :D
I've owned their 85mm 1.8 [pretty good] and their excellent 13mm 1.4, highly recommended if you like WA lenses - I found it sharper than the Fuji 16 1.4 [though perhaps my copy of the Fuji was a little off, have heard of 'bad copies'] The 13mm, if you can find it as I did for around €400 is a bargain. It's a shame some of their other lenses are a bit sub-par, their 56 1.4, 23 and 33 1.4 all received very mixed reviews, though they are still very good value if you don't mind stopping down a bit. Me, I buy a 1.4, or 1.8 etc to shoot mostly wide open. I have my eye on their 'pro' 27mm 1.2, it's about all I need atm as I haven't been doing much by way of photography but for travel and general purpsoe I love the idea of a very fast one-4-all lens.
I have them and though the 85 hasn't been touched in ages, it's still decent for the price. That 13 is another level though! Love it. You want my 27? :D
@@DamianBrown ha, when I can raise the funds maybe
It's good to see some entry level AF lenses coming through from the third parties that are affordable for new and young photographers. It doesn't matter if the IQ isn't blistering, it only needs to be good enough at this level. And the US price probably doesn't include sales tax so add that on and their price will be similar to that in the UK or EU.
You got it Kevin! That's how I see it. And yes, the sales tax thing is probably right. Still, the Euro and GBP price is off but hey.
Great quality do you use for this shots sample any nd filter ?
Thanks! No, no filters for test shots
The beard suits you pretty well! 👍
Nice video! As always! 😁
Thanks! I'm not sure how long I'll keep it.. .it's harder work than shaving completely
Want the PRO SPEC f 1.2 13MM Viltrox for my Fuji's - sure to be on its way, can't wait.
I love the 1.4!
I dunno. If the focus ring could double as aperture, that’d go a long way. And if someone would lean into the flaws and any potential cat’s eye bokeh and swirl, they’d have a lens which was at least interesting. Unusual or interesting rendering is probably more of a draw at the ultra-budget level.
I’m still actually somewhat tempted by the price. There are nicer lenses, but none feels quite right to me and my use cases. Maybe the 60/2.4.
Agreed! The price is the best bit, if you're buying in USD :)
I am hoping the third lens is a fast very wide lens that is comparable to the 11mm on Sony.
As I said, competing lenses. So the same focal length/ aperture/ price point more or less
Though yes, I'd love that too.
Looks like another solid lens in this price/performance range, but now I'm really interested in what the last one you've got is!
Isn't it the Viltrox 40mm f/2.5
@@quikee9195 Ahh, must be!
Just waiting for a release date/ permission to post :)
Noooo, it's a very similar lens to this.
@@DamianBrown Now I'm even more intrigued haha
When you do the roundup please include the 50mm F2 WR which is the real competition. It can be bought for less than $250 used.
Good idea but for me it's about the low budget new lens side by side. 250 used is still different to 150-200 new. Not for the likes of you and I that would go that route but those at the low low budget.
$100 more for a lens with an aperture ring, WR, and that can reveal the extra resolution of the 40mp sensor is a small price to pay.
@@fredschmidt8609.... Not everyone can afford the extra, the more choices the better, photography for all budgets is the way forward I say
I can see the strategy, as this is haf the price of their other 56. In that case, making it plastic , cheap and simple is ok, like the Fuji 35's, the XC and the XF, but where fuji was VERY smart was tha both offered the same excellent IQ. The mixed IQ (not bad but not exelcellent) of the original Viltrox made me pick the Sigma instead and this seems to have an even worst IQ. I may be wrong, and am sure that some will buy but I would advice anyone considering it to save some money to buy something more. the 56 focal length is THE portrait focal length, having a good IQ at 56 will pay itself with good images wether you're pro or not.
To go back to my Sigma, I just can't regret it. Every time i watch the result, i don't miss the aperture ring anymore, I'm kind of blown away. From the first pictures, it made me rethink the saying that gear can't make you a better photographer (and I've owned 5 lenses before that)
I agree! I'm glad the low low end is opening up now. Hopefully any money they make can be put into improving the whole range.
is ok for video?
the intro was done with it, autofocus tests, and some of the sample shots. I think so yes.
This lens make no sense to me. They already have a crazy cheap 1.4 version, so why make this? Another thing I don't understand is why they put a wide angle hood on a portrait/telephoto lens? This is also the only lens that has "image size" on the fron. I guess that is probably supposed to mean image circle?
I did wonder when I first heard about it but it's almost half the price of the next up and looking at the market it's aimed at a lower budget which I understand. There are two other lenses that are around this spec and a similar price point so it it's profitable for them that's it's all good. Hopefully with that money then can develop the higher end gear for us 😃
Mostly... why? The 56mm f1.4 is already inexpensive, relative to the competition.
This is almost half the price so it's aimed at a different market. I don't mind especially if it means they can put some of the profit towards developing higher end gear.
@@DamianBrown I'm definitely all for bringing more third party options in at lower costs -- but I'd be more interested if they produced some different focal lengths than the standard so many. Give me a 95mm f2 or something bizarre, haha
Nothing screams "Pick me up" about this lens. Also, I would have to wear a disguise to take this back to the store for warranty repairs 😆
I have a new disguise as you can see!
The lack of aperture ring is a deal breaker for me.
I hear that
Looks very basic which for the price is all you can expect. It'll be a skip for me as I have the Fuji 56 1.2
Of course, nobody with a current 56 will be looking at this.
I have the sigma 56mm I will stay with that. Truthfully i hardly even use my 56mm or 85mm
Oh ye, for those of us that already have 56mm this isn't a question. The Sigma is nice!!
I’d rather stick with the pro vilttox lenses
Me too, but then it's not aimed at us.
Cheap...and that's all.Nothing special...
I prefer to pay 100 euros more and have Sigma. Viltrox 56 mm 1.4 has superior optics and you can find it for 200 euros
Cool, it's not for us that spend more.
