I got the lens two days ago and it is indeed an amazing lens , it doesnt feel like a third party at all and the quality of the images is just wow value for money
Nice 85mm 1.8 is really nice, we have the budget one from canon and we love it. I still think I can use it more than what I do for our photography work. A kidney is right for that price, we spend that money for the canon 35mm 1.4, but Lieles is in love with that one. Do you think an nd filter would help with that extra flare?
I think it's great that Viltrox keep pushing out these lenses at more affordable prices. They seem to get better and better. A shame about the AF but can that be improved with firmware updates? Great review and samples like always Aaron!
@@RudyVisuals that's awesom just ordered and received it last night and started playing with it. Quite a solid unit and quite a sharp lens. It's more contrast than the ef 85mm on the newer r6 body. Thanks for this. Keep up the great work
Beautiful photo examples 🥰🥰 this viltrox lens is a great choice for the rf mount there isn't much competition out there atm esspecially for cheaper lenses
They are for different systems. Personally I found the AF better on the sony lens but that might just be because pairing the sony lens with the sony body resulted in slightly better performance.
A perfect lens for portraits. Actually Viltrox is quite popular in Vietnam because it is relatively cheap compared to other brands. Wonderful review my dear, have a wonderful week filled with blessings 🥰🌹
Oh that's great you have access to these lenses in Vietnam! Last time I was there in 2020 I didn't see any Viltrox lenses in the camera stores in HCMC!
Great sample photos but the videos look a little soft to me. I'm sure it's great for portraits but I like my lenses to be able to do a bit of everything, as I'm more of a hobbyist photographer.
I think in general 85mm lenses are not the most versatile so if you aren't really into portraits then yeah you are better off with a zoom lens for example like a 24-70.

That's awesome to hear! Have fun shooting with it! We still have ours :D
Good review as always! Photo results look great! The bokeh is beautiful!
Thanks for watching :))

The canon 85 1.8 was one of our favourites! An ND filter would definitely help reduce the flaring a little bit
Great review! Because of your channel I always wanted a 85mm lens!
You won't regret it :D

Yeah they do have a good history of improving AF in previous lenses with firmware updates :)
Great video amd review. For image quality would you recommend the voltrix or the older Canon ef 85mm 1.8
I would say the Viltrox is noticeably sharper, but again we are using it with a better body as well.

Thank you for the review and details. I’m thinking to buy this camera. Will be back to see more good stuff in your channel.
Glad it was helpful!
Great lens with awesome Bohen for the price, very good review my friend.
Thanks for watching :)

Totally agree!
Would you recommend getting this OVER the sony 85mm since the price of that lens is not much more than the viltrox and seems to have better AF.
They are for different systems. Personally I found the AF better on the sony lens but that might just be because pairing the sony lens with the sony body resulted in slightly better performance.
I use my nifty fifty on a 70d so I'm already getting close to 85mm range, but it is amazing for portraits!
Yup, pretty much anything around 85mm is gonna be great for portraits :)
Very interesting review. Very nice lens. Greetings my friends and thank you for sharing. Have a great day. 👍
Thank you! You too!

Nice review Aaron. good quality and affordable lens
Thank you dude :)
Super lens review! 85mm is the best for portraits!
Totally agree!

Beautiful photos 😍😍
Thanks so much 😊
I really like these viltrox lenses I just really hope they can improve on their focusing
Same here. They do have a good reputation for frequent firmware updates :)
Viltrox is making a cheap and nice lenses. My favorite focal lens for portrait 😊 nice shots anyway 😊
My favorite focal length too :)
Haha Pokemon cards always find a way to sneak in your videos, eh! 😂
You got that right!
Nice! Does it work with crop sensor bodies too?
yUP :))
@@RudyVisuals which crop sensor with rf mount? 🤔
thanks for the review
Our pleasure!
which is better than Samyang RF MF 85mm 1.4??
I've heard great things about the Samyang but never tried one myself unfortunately!
That's really affordable lens with good quality 👍🏻
Thanks for stopping by guys :)
Never seen the appeal of an 85mm for video tbh, just not practical and flexible enough but the photos look great!
They can be really awesome for b-roll but definitely better with a gimbal and stabilization.
I swear there is a new Viltrox lens every week!
They are making more and more all the time! 😃
Do they make this lens for other mounts?
Yes they do! You can find the other versions on their site. There's a link in the description :)
I think my friend's video is great. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day~!!👏👍59
Thank you too :)
that's a very good price for the rf mount much more comparable to the ef 85mm lens
It really is! I would say they are very comparable in terms of performance too except for the AF
Nicely done dude. Would have been useful to have seen some side by side comparisons with the sony 85mm, since you mentioned it a few times.
Noted! I'll definitely try to include more side by side comparisons next time :)
Cheap 85mm lenses are awesome!
Agreed!
hope they will make it more affordable :) however, lenses now are more affordable than way before were prices are gold LOL
Definitely!
