- Is the ALL-NEW Viltrox 13mm F1.4 Prime lens the NEW Wide Angle Prime KING For Fujifilm users? This new low light beast has all the greatest and latest specs for Night Sky Photography, on today's vlog we find out how good this new lens from Viltrox really is for Night Sky Photography.
My normal go-to for Night Sky Photography with the Fujifilm system is the amazing Samyang 12mm F/2, an almost perfect lens. However, I always find myself looking for the AF capability to improve my low light filming and travel photography requirements. The Viltrox has a larger aperture at F1.4 and alongside AF, could this possibly be the lens I have been dreaming of?

Great vid mate. Been waiting on a review like this for ages. Thank you!
Wow man! I just ordered the Viltrox 13mm watching your video. You are super easy to understand, which makes it enjoyable to watch and I learned. a thing or two watching this short video. Keep up the good work!
Great video, many thanks for all your invaluable information! Keep up the fantastic work!!! 👏👏👏
I would love to see the side by side comparison of this lens against the samy 12. Especially, how much field of view it loses with 1mm tighter.
Im waiting for someone to release a video abot this lens especialy on astro. Finally😆
Great shot. I had no idea that's how night sky photography worked. This lens looks super valuable.
G'day Matthew, great video. I stumbled across your channel a couple of months ago when you were up in the Flinders for a few days on a trip shooting sunrises and sunsets around the Pound. I'm across the gulf in the Steel City. I'm really enjoying seeing a local photographer show how amazing our landscapes and skies are around here. Keep up the great captures, and I'm looking forward to more of your content :) Downloaded the files and I'll give it a go at an edit.
You have sold me on this lens. I have the Viltrox 23mm 1.4. It's shockingly good and always on my x-h1. Thank you. Love your channel.
how is the 23mm performing for astro? Im on the Nikon system so till the 13mm comes out for us ill be using it for the milkyway season this summer. Is it any good?
Just ordered the viltrox 13 1.4. was planning to order it but your video out me over the edge. Thanks
Great video and awesome final picture result! 💪
Awesome images and Vlog!
That's such a sick photo. Thanks man.
What a great photo! Well done sir
Had this lens for 2 months now, and its killing it!
Hi Matthew. As always, nice content!
Incredible picture…I’m getting this lens! Thanks for sharing…. Be safe! Cheers..
Super helpful video Matt! I've been using the new Fujifilm 18mm f1.4 and think the results are pretty good for astro. Aside from slight vignetting when open wide, it is super sharp and doesn't seem to suffer from any of the usual astro defects we tend to look out for. But I'm new to this and don't have a lot to compare to. Just wondering if you've tried or considered this lens and have any thoughts on how it compares to the Viltrox?
I got the 13mm for event photography (on an X-T5) not too long ago, and absolutely love it. Now, I'm going to have to start checking the astro forecast and give it a shot there! Cheers!
Real super video. My Samyang is getting sweaty now as the Viltrox launch inches closer.
Hi, just wanna say that it’s a really nice and informative video👍🏻 I would like to ask if you turn on Long exposure Noise reduction on or off when shooting long exposures, as I had experienced some hot pixels in my images when I shot with my xt2 during long exposure shots that are around 45s-1min exposure. Hope to hear from you, thanks!!🤗
looks like you have added a good bit to your kit and certainly the results appeared to be better than the lens your reviewed in your last video. Great final image Matt and hope you're doing ok
Waiting since month for the 13mm... Hope viltrox can put on the production and delivery it all over the world the next days
This could be a good vlogging lens. Depending on its autofocus. My favorite distance to vlog is about 12-14mm. 16mm is still too close for me and 10mm gets a little bit too wide
I had samyang f2 in the past. Loved that lens' performance in astrophotography. I've been watching reviews about this lens and thanks to your work I will definetely get this lens when I get the chance. Great video :)
Hi mate good to see you again that lens looks great is it heavy
Ultra cool video :) Did you have to re-calibrate on where true infinity is with that lens as per one of your other posts?
Thanks for the great review and beautiful shoots,Love the video … but is there any chance that u can make videos about the post production process .. plssss
Yeah agree - but I think he has paid tutorial on that. Could be worth it I think
Awesome vlog! I’ve been using the Rokinon f/2 for my xt-30 and it’s been doing well, but I’d like the addition of the autofocus once in a while…I’ll keep an eye on this Viltrox!
There's a new version of the f/2 with AF for x-mount.
@@paceyombex yes I heard about that, I’m thinking to look into it also
@@JECiappetta This is a lot more interesting to me tho. Much faster aperture, sharpness should be comparable, metal build, and clicked aperture. Rokinon 12mm while also good, looks cheap because of the plastic exterior, it also doesn't have aperture ring.
I have a love hate relationship with the Rokinon. Went thru 2 copies of the lens due to build quality.
Awesome photo/ 👍👍
Viltrox 13mm f1.4 looks like good for astro and landscape, but how about chromatic aberation and purple fringging? I have viltrox 56mm and i see a lot chromatic aberation in high contras but is great for price to performance
Awesome video! A bit off topic, but for such a recent camera I counted 6 dead pixels :/, I hope my xt4 doesn't get those
Mathew thanks for your review. Unfortunately I bought the lens and using it on my xt3 and very dissapointed with it. Presently returned for a replacement. Is you lens still sharp and easy to focus ? I have star trails in one corner of my lens. tried different settings from F 1.4 to 2. and from 13sec to 25 sec The focus was not accurate and the infinity was not sharp. Are you still getting good results ? I have a friend who also bought the lens and has had similar issues and had to return his lens. Quality or design issues ?
just jumped online to buy one haha. your vid sold me on it
Keen to get one for my XT2.
Hi Mat ! why in Photpills you use rules of 500 intead of NPF ? the result is overexosed so you can reduce shatter speed without increasing ISO, or I missing something ?
Do you know of they will Release this Lens for Sony e Mount?
How can I buy it?) It is not available on aliexpress ...
Great review - quick question for someone new to night time stills. How do you press/release the shutter whilst keeping the camera still. External release ?
Yes, or most cameras have a 2-second countdown timer function too.
THANKYOU...
Love see difference with GFX
It's a great image, could you please share the settings.
How is easy is it to focus to infinity? I find that's the most annoying part of my 12mm 2.0 Samyang/Rokinon.
What song did you use in 2.26 minutes
Thank you
You're welcome
Is it possible to show us how do you blend the sky and the foreground?
Hey I do a lot of this on my membership courses! :D matthewstorerphotography.com/online-photography-membership
I've used the Samyang 12mm for landscape, and it's OK for that, but corners have CA and sunstars of the Samyang are.... just awful.
The Viltrox has beautiful sunstars though.
It's a super versatile lens with great optics, as far as I can tell!
I did not yet manage to test it on astro however.
Beautiful image …😮
Hi Mat
Great video, very cool lens.
I recently commented on your Nikon vs Fuji - as I wait for my Fuji X2 to arrive, I am debating whether the Samyang (older version) or Viltrox is better for me. Putting aside some obvious pros and cons i.e. aperture/AF/price/weight etc - what is your opinion on the image quality between the two? How's the sharpness wide open and stopped down (and in corners)? How does the coma compare?
You and a lot of others really rate both lenses and I haven't seen much in the way of head to head. The sentiment seems to be that the Viltrox is very sharp, but then I watched Dustin Abbot's review and he compared it to the Fuji 16 2.8 and they were neck and neck, and yet so many people like to point out the 16 is not that sharp in the corners. So basically I've not seen an apples to apples comparison and you've used both a lot.
Thanks mate!
Dan
Did you see that dude in the arch at the start of the video? Freaking creepy man.
Loving how there's more 3rd party lenses for fuji. Im keen to get my hands on one of the 56mm 3rd party lenses.
Mint video and great compositions
I've got the Viltrox 56mm. For its price, the quality is incredible. The only thing that's bothering me with all the Viltrox lenses is the aperture blades are pretty loud when controlled electronically: in Aperture Priority mode, it's still opening and closing the aperture to expose your image preview correctly and when jumping between lighter and darker scenes, you can hear it really well. Manually setting the aperture using the ring, you don't hear anything.
how’s the focusing? i find the focus by wire with fuji a pain for manual focus
Not for me on my X-T4 with both Viltox and Fuji lenses.
Hello I would like to ask you which lens is better viltrox 13mm 1.4 or fujifilm xf 23mm 1.4 ?
Thanks for your time
It depends on your choise. 13mm are the ultra wide landscape. 23 are of the street photography
Everyone compares it with Samyang 12mm f2, what about Sigma
16mm f1.4?
Stupid question but how do you do 20 + second photos with the xt4? Cheers
Set shutter speed dial to T, then use wheel back right of camera (the one you use to zoom on reviewing images) to adjust shutter time to 20"
There is the new Samyang af 12mm f2.0. I'm curious to know how they compare.
Just buy this lens man! You will never regret it hehehe
The Viltrox is better in terms of IQ and sharpness, the Samyang is smaller and lighter with better flaring/ glaring/ sunstar characteristics.
What about the new samynag af 12mm f2 ?
It doesn't make any sense Vs this lens [unless that 1mm extra width is really significant for you?] For one it's a stop slower, and anywhere I look it's more expensive. From what I've seen review-wise, the Samy is not near as sharp either until well stopped down - just get the Viltrox
@@Cagey7531 i oredered 13mm
... the only thing i like in samynag is the size/weight.
I would give viltrox my left leg for a wide, fast GFX option for astro.
Bought and returned instantly after how the sky burns even the sun out of the picture and I think like a half moon like a rainbow next to the burnt circle with a blue stripe. Almost €500 bought on Amazon returned cheap is expensive not to believe everything that is said.
Cannot really see what the extra 3mm would bring compared to the Fujifilm 16mm F1.4
3mm is a HUGE difference when you are talking about wide angle lenses. The 16mm also has horrendous purple fringing which isn't good for night sky photography.
Price bro price...
@@ishtiaqueahmed6010 what about price? The 16mm is twice the price.
$429 USD on the Viltrox site. Which is a steal.
3mm difference is MASSIVE at this end of the spectrum esp for night photography.
did you see ghost there?
When you say "Mickey Mouse" is that a different meaning for Australians? In the USA we say that about something that is bad, silly or Amateur Hour. Kiddy: not good for serious stuff.
Same here in Ireland, we'd refer to something tacky/toy-ish, badly made as being the 'Mickey mouse' version of the real thing
c.mon guys - don't over-analyse things. Different regions / countrires have different. If you really want to serious about things, then you explain why in the USA, they are not able say Aluminium correctly - now that should be of real concern on a global level :D Sorry - I was just pointing out you can't expect people to globally aware of all nuances or expressions, Any person with an IQ of over 100 would have known what he meant - it was just "easy for it" :)
@@colinhoward2200😂 leave it to the Queens English to add syllables just to make it fancier!
Coma, Astigmatism and Chromatic aberrations are horrid
Maybe ok for a RUclips video, Instagram or Facebook but garbage for print or stock
Nah, twice as heavy as the 14. Landscape photographer here.
Would be nice if it is a 14/1.4 but it's 20/1.4
Everyone with an APS-C camera knows what the conversion factor is. So your point is? Maybe spending more than twice the amount on a worse camera system. Binned off full frame Sony year ago to go to Fuji X and never regretted it!
