- ...and it has a couple of minor improvements over the other versions! More weather sealing, and more confident autofocus. Let's take a look. Viltrox are currently crowdfunding for this lens! Check it out here: www.indiegogo....

Wow, Viltrox is doing what Nikon refuses to do.
A sharp, fast and bright "20"mm lens, featuring the "fuji-look" with its aperture ring and metal housing.
If I could afford, this would be my reason to finally buy me that Zfc!
I was thinking that exact same thing.👍
They seem to be neglecting their APS-C users when it comes to lens selection.
Cant wait pairing this lens with my Zfc and take some astro shots in August!
Hello! Can you share your opinion after 1 year about this lens for Astro photography?
Wow, that is incredible value for such a nice looking, autofocus, f/1.4 Z-mount lens. This looks like a must-buy for any Nikon Z DX users.
Looks like a great addition to the Nikon Z mount. Kudos to Viltrox for the weather sealing improvement. 👍
Received mine today. Bought it because of your review. I love this lens. Thank you for your great reviews!
Thank you for checking out the Nikon Z version!! Very much appreciated.
This lens is incredible for the price... and would still be great even if it was significantly more expensive.
It seems like it's an extraordinary lens as I seldom hear you giving a "very highly recommended" rating
Viltrox does everything right this days! Bring all the potential DX lenses Nikon does not bring. But as a Z9 user, now you have to bring a 14mm for fullframe to make me happy. Or share your mount data with sigma and tamron ;). Another great video chris
@S Tra I've used my first viltrox lens for nikon z on my z6 and was very impressed by iq and overall performance. The time, that everything out of china is crap is over. And for now, there are so much lenses nikon does not provide like a ultrawideangle prime. So if you have not use a z9 or a viltrox lens, keep your high quality comments to your own ;).
@S Tra Oh, this was a very interesting decision if I should anwer you or not, becauce it is so ridiculous. But whatever. I have and had several cheap and expensive lenses in my bag. Do I say, that these chinese manufactors produce the best lenses ever? No, I do not. But I am impressed by the improvement these manufactors have been gone. And the change of these lenses in terms of buildquality and and IQ is very well presented in Chris videos.
Ten years ago nobody "professionel" had to recommend a lens from Tamron or Sigma.
So I dont know, why you watch his content or this video if you think this is all crap. And I dont care if you like my pictures or if you dont ;). This is all subjective. And let me promise to you, no one will force you to buy an expensive camera or a cheap lens. So do your thing, let the folks on this channel their own personal opinion and everything will be fine ;).
Thank you for the video. It looks to be a promising lens. I have the 24 mm 1.8 version of this lens and really like it.
damn that's somewhat irritating that they excluded a gasket at the mount for the Fuji version. but despite that, it truly is a great piece of glass!
maybe they'll update it via usb-c
@@kalzas 😆
I hope they release it for Canons ef-m mount or the rf mount. It would be seriously interesting to see how it performs on such a high resolution sensor.
I hope they will bring an RF version of this lens, now that the R10 and R7 are available!
amazing lens!!
Not sure why I'm watching this, because I have it for Fuji already. Love it. It's super fun, but I am a little annoyed that we didn't get weather sealing on the older release.
I'm watching you channel for quite some time, your reviews are very reliable and enjoyable. I know you said this will be the last review of this lens, but if the Canon version comes out, could you make a comparison with Samyang 12mm, pleeease? :)
I hope you'll soon test viltrox 23mm.
Hi ! I am a big fan of your lens presentations! Did I see a Bible in Greek here? I also have seen many pictures from Greece in your videos!
Cheers!
Thank you
Any chance you could look at the Sony 24mm f2.8 G and 40mm f2.5 G lenses sometime? :)
Would have liked to see what that lens looks like on FX.
i have problem with viltrox af 13/1.4 z after update nikon z50 firmware 2.5 anyone have a solution about that?
thanks a lot
Could make a great pair with the new Z30
How well it perform with nikon z6ii camera?
Very good Review of a quite nice lens. How can you use this lens in FX mode? Did you make some testing too?
*HELLO... please can you make a comparison video with Viltrox AF 13mm f/1.4 .... and Sigma 16mm 1.4 ..? Thank you.*
RF mount when
I'm seriously considering replacing my Samyang 12mm F/2 AF with this despite the extra weight and size. Especially in light of the Samyangs compatibility problems with the Fuji X-S10. This Viltrox 13mm just keeps on impressing. I love every little photo and video clip I see from this lens, regardless which body it's paired with. Does anyone know if the Fuji version will be updated with a weather sealing gasket?
Hi Chris! What firmware version did you use on your Viltrox 13mm f/1.4? I updated mine to version 1.0.3 and the lens is not working properly now.
Does this lens perform the same as 33mm lens? In tems of sharpness and colour fringing?
No. Look at my review of that lens for more information
@@christopherfrost it seemed to me that this one is much better but those reviews were made on Fuji so i had to ask for Nikon. Thanks for your info. Love your channel.
Is it just the video editing or does this lens have a strangely low color saturation (how would that even be possible?)? The images look rather flat and pale.
Seems normal to me
yep its your screen, mines fine
This lens must be that good when you've decided to review it THREE times
why wont viltrox make this kind for sony. sony ver has no weather sealing and image quality and performance is lacking against the nikon ver

NO VEN PARA NIKON Z SOLO PARA FUJI
