That is a spectacular lens! Your photos are incredible as well!
Really appreciate you watching and commenting. I agree, a very good lens indeed 👍🙏
beautifull colors !!!
Thanks for another great review Adrian, this will be a great lens for real estate photography.
Thanks for watching. Definitely good for real estate for sure 👍
I can't wait to have this lens. Preordering once it's available. Tnx for the another great review.
Thanks for watching. I don't blame you for ordering one. I was so impressed with this lens. Can't wait to get out for some astro next new moon and clear night 👍
I'm one of those that's been waiting for this lens for Z mount. Great review man. Looking forward to those astro vids of yours.
Thanks for watching. Next new moon and clear night and I'll be heading out with this lens for sure. Looking forward to it. Cheers! 🙏
Been waiting for this lens to come to the Nikon Z mount. Great review, can't wait to get one.
Certainly an awesome lens. Can't wait to get out for some astro and landscape with it. Cheers
Another great review Adrian, nice looking lens and thanks for the demos, have a great week
Many thanks for watching Shaun. Glad you enjoyed the review. Pretty incredible lens. Have a great week mate, cheers 🙏
WOW, I have been waiting for this lens to be available for the Z mount....Thanks for the heads up.
Thank you for watching Tony. It's pretty amazing for the price.
oh, very tempted mate, they do an e mount😮😮 Would love this for my astro photography!! Nice review mate👍👍
Thanks for watching Scott. Absolutely mate, be great on your Sony for astro 100%. Have a great week, cheers 🙏
Looks like a fantastic lens, Adrian! Great review too. :)
Thanks Phil. Very impressed with this lens. Heading out for some astro next new moon, fingers crossed for a clear night. Cheers
Wow, finally!
Hi Adrian, wow, the corner sharpness is really crazy for that price 😯 Thank you for the video, buddy! 👍
Have a nice week ahead,
Christian
Thanks for watching Christian! I will be getting out much more with this lens. I want to try some long exposure landscape. Have an awesome week buddy 🙏
Adrian, Excellent review, this lens seems to be one of the best options out there for ultra-wide lenses regardless of the system you are using. Your sharpness review really proves how good it actually is, to be as sharp as it is, corner to corner at F1.8 is amazing. I am thinking that when it pops up on Amazon, I may have to get one for myself. Thanks again my friend and have a good week.
Thanks so much for watching my friend. I was genuinely shocked when I first pulled up those sharpness test shots. Bar that little vignetting at F1.8 this lens is just amazing! Look out astro here I come! Haha! Have a great week, cheers 🙏
How cool is that little window? It will be perfect for pitch black astro shooting. Great run down of the lens. That dome shot is my favourite - beautiful.
Many thanks for watching 🙏👍
also cool because it has focus zoning data! super nice
Can you please do a comparison between the Nikon z 20mm f1.8 and this Viltrox? This would be a great video too. I think many people are interested in this comparison. 👍
Hello, Very professional review on this one, what you have to say for using for video ?
Amazing. Rivaling even the 20mm 1.8 and 14-28 2.8 S. I have the 14-24 2.8 S but I do so much Astro that either this 16 or the 20 will be great. I am thinking the 16mm is better value.
Thanks for watching. All the lenses you mentioned are awesome and you can't go wrong with any of them. But yes, the Viltrox is outstanding value for money 🙏
I would love to see example photos (stars/night photos) especially demonstrating how much coma the lens produces.
I did make a video on this at the end of this one.
Nikon Z camera system is will be great with this lens.
All my viltrox lenses are excellent and this is coming from someone that has top of the line nikon native lenses.
I wonder how this compares against the Laowa 10mm distortion f2.8.
Hi Adrian, hope you are doing great. Before buying the 20mm 1.8g last year, I was considering Viltrox lenses. However, my gear shop recommended against Viltrox. I read also a couple of reviews in the net & most of them were not so positive about the sharpness. But it seems Viltrox has crossed the bridge. Would you recommend anything for f-mount full frame? Thanks for the short, but crisp analysis.
Thanks for watching. Viltrox have certainly come a long way. They keep getting better and better. In terms of F- mount you have a plethora of lenses to choose from. The F mount 20mm F1.8G lens is pretty good, so too the 14-24mm F2.8G lens.
I was thinking that this On/Off swich will disable LCD to safe battery power... :/
Hi, it is a great review. I would like to know how does it compare with the nikon z 20mm f1.8s lens. In terms of Astrophotography which one is good and also for landscape photography which one you suggest?
Thank you for watching. Both lenses are amazing, you can't go wrong with either. That being said, if I already owned the Nikon 20mm F1.8S I would stick with it. If I was buying either for the first time, I would buy the Viltrox, purely for the money saving and the quality you get. Personally I like having a wider focal length because I can crop in if I have to.
@@adrianalfordphotography another great video. it's amazing how hard it is to chose a fast wide angle for the Z in 2024. this lens looks excellent, but i think i'd rather sacrifice a few degrees of width for the nikon quality and compatibility. i'll probably dig around the internet a bit more but think i'm sold on the 20mm.
Hello Adrian, I just saw this lens and really appreciated this review. I do have a question, however. Since this lens seems to be a newer release than the Viltrox 20 mm f2.8 for Nikon, I was wondering if you had to choose between the two (but could only have one), which would you choose?
As always, thank you for the continued high quality reviews.
Both are good lenses for the price. I will be doing a comaprison video on both lenses. Stay tuned Paul, have a great weekend 🙏
@@adrianalfordphotography In part as a result of your review, Adrian, I decided to buy this lens and just received it. I plan to test it out this weekend.
How Is the infinity setting on this lens, when I try to use the one on my Nikon 24mm f1.8 it’s never truly in infinity focus so I have to constantly adjust the focus with it. And that can be difficult in pitch dark situations. Thanks
I will be finding that out soon enough when I head out to do some astro. I will check this for you when making the video
Hello Mr. Adrian. Do you recommend this one over the older viltrox 13mm for nikon z?
The Viltrox 13mm F1.4 is an APSC lens. The Viltrox 16mm F1.8 is a full frame lens. Both are great lenses, but both are meant for different cameras
I use a D850, are there good Viltrox f mount lenses you can recommend?
Just checked, nothing F mount!
I have 3 viltrox lenses, love them all. But this is the one i was expecting.
Thanks for watching, cheers 🙏
I noticed the picture at 3:30 is marked as F1.6, is this supposed to be F1.8?
Just a typo when editing, yes 1.8. But congrats you are the only one to pick this up so far from all the views the video has had 👍
did you test video tracking ? is it ok or not to much
Do you mean eye detect? If so, no problems.
@@adrianalfordphotography yup eye detect, so you can do the video how it's work smooth 😁
Viltrox seems to be the new Tamron : cheap, nice built quality, sharpness. For Astro it seems to be a good bargain.
Does this company make lenses that work on a Nikon D850 & have you reviewed non-Z Mount lenses?
Unfortunately Viltrox don't make F mount lenses. I have plenty of Nikon F mount lens reviews on my channel if you're interested.
How about sports
For wides, absolutely!
Too late, I already bought the Nikon 20mm 1.8g for the f-mount
Thanks for watching. You still have an amazing lens 👍
I do like the return of a little LED window ... 🦘
Indeed.
