I got that lens last month. It's holding up pretty well for me. I've kept it on the camera a lot longer than I thought I would. Before that, I'd been using almost solely the 35mm f1.4, so this gave me a slightly different arrangement. It turned out well for me.
Nice one Chris. Yeah I am the same I love the 35mm but it is nice to change things up with a longer focal length from time to time and the images turned out pretty nice too.
Deciding between these two lenses for my a6700. The Viltrox has the bigger aperture, but is it worth the extra cost when TTArtisan performs just as well? Especially if the bokeh is smooth on both.
Honestly I haven't tried the TTartisan version so I couldn't say. If the TTartisan has an aperture ring that might be something to keep in mind. The Viltrox version is a really nice lens for the price though is all I could say 👍
It is a pretty solid performer for the price. Unfortunately I have not tried the TTArtisan version yet but I have heard good things about it too actually.
Great review, that lens has always been on my radar, would be my first alternative lens after rocking the 18-55 for 2 years now with the X-T30 II. Is the lack of stabilisation not a deal breaker ? With X-T3 / T30 II and lack of IBIS I think the evening shots should be much more difficult, specially with that longer focal.
If you like something a little longer then It's certainly a good option to add to the kit. Honestly I forgot about IBIS haha I only shot during the day but at night the low aperture would really help keep the shutter high enough for no motion blur I think.
If I didn’t have a 56 already, I would consider this. That lens hood though, that looks so shallow! And it has that shape that lens hoods for wide angle lenses has. It almost looks like a mistake, surely it should be a longer one. The lens has a pretty tight FOV after all.
It performs pretty well for the price I must say. Yeah I did hear that mentioned in reviews too, apparently it's the same hood they use for wider lenses which is just a money saving thing on there part I think. Not ideal but doesn't bother me too much, at least not yet anyway haha

I still think you two have such good colors in your video color grades, great stuff guys!!
Thanks very much appreciate that, glad you like it. 😀✌
Yess! I loove this lens. It's the perfect companion (especially for travelling).
Nice one! I did find it a bit too tight for the city at times but in more open areas it would be great for sure 👍

I need a 50/56, dont know which one to take (56 f1.2 mk I, 50 f2, third part one...). Can't choose.
Thanks for the review 👍
I would probably go with a 50mm because you can always crop in a little if needed. 👍
This lens looks good. Have you tried the TTArtisan 56mm/f1.8? Any suggestions on which one I should buy?
It is a pretty solid performer for the price. Unfortunately I have not tried the TTArtisan version yet but I have heard good things about it too actually.
Which lense did you use to shoot this video? Is it color graded? Thanks for reply
We used the X-T30 with the 18-55mm for all the video shots. We used a film sim and made a few tweaks during editing. 👍

I like the features on this lens, but I saw ttartisan seems to offer similar specs at a lower price. Has anyone compared the two?
I have also heard good things about the TTartisan version but I have not tried it myself. There are a couple of comparison videos though I think.
Thank u. Which camera is used for to shoot this video?
Hey, glad you liked it. We used the X-T30 to shoot all the video 👍

@@MacnTeensVisuals Honestly it wouldn’t bother me either, I never use lens hoods.
Would you want this lens in your kit?
Really tempted to have it
@@johansebastian836 Getting a new lens is always tempting haha
