Fast, Ultra Wide, AND Full Frame? Viltrox 13mm f1.4 Review Sony E Mount
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- Viltrox continue making more nice fast and budget prime lenses for multiple systems. Today we're looking at the Viltrox 13mm f1.4 for the Sony e mount system. While this is technically a APS-C lens, the image circle is big enough where you can use the clear image zoom on Sony Cameras to just pass the vignette area, turning this lens into an extreme 15.5mm Ultra wide angle lens. If you've been looking for a budget ultra wide fast prime lens, definitely check out this new Viltrox.

Thanks for this upload it answered every question I had for full frame use. Subbed!
Glad I could help v3zMedia!
On something like the ZV-E1 with stabe and clear zoom, this becomes an 18-27mm roughly which is quite a versatile range. With dynamic stabe more like 20-30mm, that’s quite compelling for a lot of types of videography.
The best Review out there!
So glad this was helpful loicdelac!
Backed! Jason comes through, as always :D
Hey hey again Clement!
Awesome! Glad I got this video out in time right before they ended the campaign. Enjoy the lens when it arrives!
thanks for a very convincing video! buying it&&
Hey hey again Igor!
So glad this video was helpful! I will continue to do my best with my content and reviews!
I love the idea of firmware that allows you to select the focus throw.
I dont normally have extreme focus racking. But im sure some people need that, and those people might also not own a focus motor.
Hey hey again Will!
I really hope they do it, I've mentioned it multiple times in my videos and to them personally. It would really help with the functionality of the lens for various creators!
@@TLDR_filmmaker yeah! I never thought about it before you said it. But you are right, there is no reason that this extra functionality couldnt be implemented through software.
Nice review

Great review.
Thanks Juan!
Im impressed! You shot this video in tons of locations. That must have taken a ton of work.
It was all technically one location just a bunch of different areas I'm pointing the camera. It wasn't too bad and I did enjoy filming this way out of the studio. May do it a bit more, weather permitting, because its HOT! lol
@@TLDR_filmmaker im glad you are having fun with your videos! It makes them more fun to watch too. I love your videos for your thoroughness. But it’s cool to see you enjoying yourself lately these past several videos. :-) I hope you are feeling well, Jason.
Hey I was just looking at this lens (I believe) for Nikon z mount after the Z30 announcement last night thinking it would pair well with that camera. Great price. I can also see this being a competitive option to the sigma 16mm f1.4 for small room content creators and streamers.
Hey hey again Coalition!
Definitely a great lens for that purpose. This is my first time filming myself with such a wide lens and it's definitely got its fun quirks to play with for off the cuff outdoor review vlog filming lol. I'll see if I end up using this lens more for my other types of video work.
thank you!!
You're most welcome!
For a7III/ a7c/ A9 users: no clear image zoom needed as you'd lose phase detection AF. Just use 4k 30p mode - which forces a 1.24x crop. Nice and dandy.
was surprised my a7c had a crop in 4k30.. thanks for the hack! are u sure the crop id 1.24? couldn't find this..
@@iposypayko yes I'm pretty sure. Cant remember the source but in practice, my 20mm lens fov is basically the same as my 25mm when crop in
Hey hey Stvn and Igor!
Glad to see you guys engaging in the comments. I had an A7iii and the crop you get at 30 was close to a 1.2x, probably the 1.24x mentioned. Close enough haha. It'd odd why you lose phase detection when you go into clear zoom. The A7siii also does this. You think it would have enough processing power over the A7iii.
Fantastic review! Could you please try the new Sony 11mm 1.8 on Full Frame too? 🙏🏽
Hey hey DC. ERA!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting!
I wish I could, but unless a company or someone can get me a review unit I won't be able to do a comparison at the moment. :(
You're best bet is to find a solid Sony 11mm review and cross reference with my findings to determine which lens will be right for you.
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
As a a7IV user this looks interesting, too much vignetting even w/ clear image zoom for my a7SIII.
When did you drop the summery in the front of your videos?
Hey hey Jordan!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting!
Definitely an interesting lens. I'm not a wide angle kinda filmmaker, but I did like playing with the composition'ing with this lens. Especially with it being rectilinear.
I started easing back on the original TLDR about late last year I think. RUclips algo decided to punish the channel because most viewers dropped off after the TLDR so my videos were no longer showing up in peoples recommendations or feeds for months. Most likely because youtube wants me to use Shorts instead. So for now I'm experimenting with longer summary's in the front end and occasionally using a short to see if it makes more sense for certain reviews or topics.
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker I have a few f4 APS-C lenses that I still use on the a7IV, the 18-105 f4 power zoom is still a great, light weight video lens and it's cheap!
I kind of figured that the algo was the reason for it, it's a real shame because I loved that part about your videos but there's nothing worse then putting in all that work (I also love the amount of detail you put into these videos!) and have something out of your control completely mess with your format. You had an incredibly unique review formatting and it's a damn shame you were forced to change that because the ai says otherwise. Keep up the hard work, I'll still slap that like button on your videos to help the engagement side of the algo bs.
Fun way to show off the lens :D
Friggin' Jimmy paid me a visit too. Told me I needed to go outside for a change, "for da viewz" lol 😂
Very informative.
Can i purchase this lens for travel fimmaking ( indoor, outdoor & portrait filming) ?
Kindly reply me
Hey hey Susan!
Travel filmmaking with this lens would be quite fun as you will be able to see the vastness of the scenery. If you're looking to do portraits as in close up shots, this is not the right lens. But if its to take a picture of you traveling around and you see your whole body in the picture. Then yes this lens would be great for that.
I find if you go to 1.4 zoom you can get rid of all of the vignetting with with 1.3 on my sony a7iii you still get vignetting but if you want to add stabilization anyways in the computer like in DaVinci resolve for example you would get rid of all of it and see very little if any at all at 1.3 zoom. Its an amazing lens though. Highly recommend it. Best lens I have ever bought.
Hey hey Bert!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting!
Awesome to hear how you're utilizing the lens and so glad you're enjoying it!
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker and actually when I took the lens hood off I was able to shoot at 1.3 clear image zoom with very low vignetting. I think 1.2 should be fine with digital stabilization crop. Its an amazing hack honestly. Thank you for bringing this lens to our attention 🙏 Its a super wide lens with a lot of advantages on a full frame.
Do you still get the starburst effect if you're using a lens hood?
Yes if the light hits the lens from a more extreme angle. The starburst will also be thinner.
My Samyang 35mm f1.4 cant do clear image zoom. But the Viltrox can do? This is weird!
That is very weird... you may want to let Samyang know about that. I unfortunately don't have a samyang electronic lens to check if I have the same problem.
Hello, I purchased this lens for Sony, tested it on both my Sony a6500 + Sony A7c and found a bug that I believe is the result of faulty quality control:
I normally set my cameras to Aperture Priority.
The lens aperture ring is set to A.
I turn the camera on and the camera defaults to f/2.0 instead of f/1.4
when I turn the aperture ring on the lens back to A, it goes again to f/2.0.
of course I can turn the ring manually to f/14 - but it seems like a bug that could be fixed with firmware update.
I contacted VILTROX several times via email and messenger and they either ignored me or brushed me aside.
I also asked this question in the relevant DP forum, but nobody was familiar with this bug.
Hey hey Moshe!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting!
If you are on the most updated firmware for the lens, I would actually suggest maybe trying some of the older firmware. Sometimes the newer firmware doesn't jive well with certain cameras and older firmwares were still good. Someone in the comments had a different problem with AF not working right and a older firmware fixed the problem.
I'm sorry to hear Viltrox hasn't responded. The Lunar New Year was not too long ago so I wonder if they were on break? Hope they respond soon and or that the older firmware fixes your issue.
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker I will retry to revert to the older firmware, thanks for the tip
I am seriously thinking to buy this lens or the Sony 11mm f1.8 over the Sony G 20mm f1.8. I can get a wider focal length a (better bokeh) for half of the price :) This would work perfectly on my A7IV or my FX3. PS.: I own the 16-35 G master, but its way to heavy for vlogging and its only f2.8, great for photography and video work most of the time, but definitely not for vlogging.
Hey hey Gergely!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting!
I was quite surprised with this lens, it would be a perfect pairing for your A7IV. I can't say I vlog all that much (as you can tell in this video haha) but if I had to use a lens for it, this one would be it for its size, wide aperture, and use of Sony's AF!
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
Lens cool and all, but what was on your hip?
The TLDR Filmmaker Utility belt, much like Batman’s
@@NatesFilmTutorials 🤣🤣
Hey hey again IMDABROWN!
Haha as Nate said.
It's a tactical hip pouch, I'll sometimes carry it with me on sets to have batteries, filters, lens wipes, and any other accessories I may need on the field without needing to go back to my pelican.
Which these ultra wide angle lenses do you suggest for indoor real estate videography in a low light noisy situation with the Sony ZV-E10 camera ?
👇
1. Sony 11mm f.1/8
2. Samyang 12mm
3. Rokinon 12mm
4. Tamron 11-20mm
5. Viltrox 13mm F1.4
Hey hey Masood!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and asking a question!
I don't really do real estate videos so I would not know the best lens to use specifically. But if you are in low light situations then you will want a lens that has the lowest F-stop number possible.
So whichever one on that list that is the lowest (Viltrox I think?) will help you the most in the low light. But what would really help is if you can try and get as much light into the real estate as possible whether its opening windows or bringing some small COB lights that bounce off the ceiling out of the shots.
Hope this helps.

why didnt make this design with their FF 24 35 50 lenses :(
Hey hey Jason!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting!
Do you mean this design for the Crop sensor 23mm 32mm and 55mm lenses?
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker no i meant their FF 24 35 50, why they didnt make it 1.4 :D
Lookin like Chris Nichols over here
Now I just need my Jordan Drake to constantly make fun of me and what I say, especially when I dog the 35mm focal length lol
Or just crop 1.3x in post and… 😮
Hey hey CRTY!
You could but you would be losing resolution, unless you are finishing in 1080p. The clear zoom does some sort of processing that lets you keep a decent sharp 4k image still. It's a better starting point than to do a 1.3x crop in post on a 4k video.
there no such thing as "full frame only"...
Hey hey Kaimelis!
Thank you so much for checking out this video and commenting!
I guess so. Unless you're in the Panasonic camp between their L-mount and MFT mount. Thats probably the only thing killing their eco system is not having a unified mount for the different sensor cameras.
Thanks again for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy, and I’ll see you in the next one!
@@TLDR_filmmaker spare the fluff s'all good, just a technicality. Surprisingly there is an apsc L mount alliance camera from Leica.
Im a fan of searching for apsc lenses that can be used for video on full frame, I used your video to prove that you can find some gems like that. 15mil f1.5 with af just does not exist otherwise.
I also have 23mm tt artisan f1.4 and 50mm f0.95 tt artisan lenses that are supposedly apsc, but with with active stabe or a bit of crop can be used in full frame mode. If you ever encounter mirrorless design apsc lenses that cover full frame image circle somewhat comfortably, always share such findings!
why is the video so blurry especially your face
I am filming with a A7Siii which does not have a 4k APS-C mode, when I am in APS-C it is 1080p only.
