    Totally agree that Viltrox, and some other 3rd party manufacturers, are now turning out some incredibly sharp lenses. But have we reached the limit of sharpness in the same way that we have probably maxed out on Megapixel’s? These new 3rd party lenses all seem to be large both in size and weight, following the Sigma route, whilst Sony is reducing size and weight whilst maintaining or further improving quality. Yes, they are obviously more expensive but, if you can afford it, they are much easier to carry and still work better with AF and in body stabilisation.

  • @horniuvrat1642
    @horniuvrat1642 11 дней назад

    this F1.8 lens has the same depth of field as any other F1.8 lens. The aperture value is the absolute variable, not the focal length as many people fondly think. In practice, it is not possible to maintain the focus distance when changing the focus if I need to have the same composition. A longer focal length therefore requires a greater focus distance which compensates for the depth of field to the same value. The focus of the lens only affects the perspective. The depth of field is determined only by the physical aperture number. So I always get more background blur with the 50/1.4 lens than with the 85/1.8 or 135/1.8. Not only a practical but also a mathematical proof can be provided :-)

    • @horniuvrat1642
      @horniuvrat1642 11 дней назад

      I haven’t tested the Samyang, but I do find that samyang generally has more flare and ghosting due to the lens coatings. my guess is that this Viltrox will be better optically because it’s s good as the GM. but I can’t be sure without side-by side. Dustin Abbot owns the Samyang 135 and prefers the optics of this Viltrox. But it’s a lot bigger

    I'm a big fan of the physical markings on aperture rings, and the thing that concerns me here is that you have to turn on the camera to know the aperture setting. Also, the primary focus on the information screen is distance and not aperture; plus there are three pieces of information to look at on the screen, which doesn't make it so straightforward. But it's easy to be a couch critic. I'd take the lens any day regardless if I could afford lenses like they were a dime a dozen of course. 😆

When I went to use the Sigma lens, I have to use an adapter which is...fine, I guess. I recently ordered this new Viltrox lens and plan to sell my Sigma. Do you think the Viltrox is as good as the Sigma optically (i know you said it was up there with Sony and Sigma)? I mean, really as good or just kind of in the same ballpark? Also, do you think the auto-focus is reliable? I get that it's fast, but fast is worthless unless it's reliable. I'd be interested in opinions since the reviews I've seem compare it to the Sony lens, but I haven't seen any comparisons (real comparisons, not just side mentions) with the Sigma Art lens.

    Is this sharper than the Samyang 135 FE 1.8 that I recently bought? :(

      The Samyang is just as sharp - that's still a great value and much lighter

    01:43 Saddam Hussein selling churros ? Great video, definitely a lens on the shortlist. Curious at what price it will be in China, GM 135/1.8 used mint is US$ 1000, maybe the closest competitor.

    The lack of cats-eye bokeh indicates that the lens is overbuilt for its sensor size. Will this be released for GFX?

    Viltrox just proof they can have good quality premium lens with cheaper price compared to 1st party lenses..

    It would be interesting to see this one compared to the Samyang.

    Viltrox use to make budget lenses. Now they are taken the path of Sigma and Tamron. Make lenses expensive but just a couple dollars cheaper than GM.

    As much as I want every prime GM lens I can't justify $2100 for a focal length I probably won't use a lot. $899 for a product almost as good seems like a fair trade though.

    Can the motors keep up with the 120fps of the A9iii?

    • @MarkBennettCameraCrisis
      @MarkBennettCameraCrisis  15 дней назад

      No - only sony lenses can do that. all 3rd party lenses are capped at 15 fps

    • @kylewist7745
      @kylewist7745 13 дней назад

      @MarkBennettCameraCrisis Certain Sigma lenses can. It depends on the quality of the motors. Sony's recent lenses have the best motors. Nikon's lenses have the best optical quality. These other lenses may be cheaper, but there is still no "free lunch" in engineering. The only reason to buy a Viltrox is price.

    Seems cool, but id like something more flexable then a fixed 135.

    Fast, cheap and produce ultra flat and non appealing image like any other modern lens.

      you can always get vintage lenses if you want optical character, but having a technically sound lens is important in many situations

    Samyang's equivalent costs less, is almost half the weight and image quality is stellar. There's absolutely nothing going for Viltrox with this lens.

    As per Christopher Frost the SAMYANG 135mm 1.8 is sharper than this lens, same AF speed and accuracy. The Samyang is a bit "more" prone to flare but it's around 150USD cheaper.

    6:51 can't help to notice blurry corner on bottom right corner. Not big of a deal but worth mentionning
