  • Good news for Canon EOS-M camera users! Viltrox has released a 33mm prime lens with autofocus, manual aperture control, and a large f/1.4 aperture for nearly half the price of Canon's 32mm f/1.4 EF-M lens. But is it worth the money?

    Additional info regarding this Viltrox lens. Adobe - at the time of this video - does not provide built-in lens profiles for Viltrox lenses in PS, LR or ACR. You have to download the profiles from Viltrox and install them yourself. Once installed, you will then be able to correct lens vignette and distortion in your images. Here's the page you need with profile download links:

      Hello! I'm about to purchase a new lens for my M50, but I'm not really sure if this lens has a better image quality than the 50mm 1.8 from canon. Aperture is really good, but do you think is sharper?

    I took a plunge on the 23mm after looking for a low cost upgrade from the kit lens for my m50. I had my eye on the Sigma for a while, but seeing this arrive on the scene right as I was in the market for an upgrade, it was too good a deal to pass up. It's been a great lens for me and my amateur photography/filmmaking. Loving the wide aperture. Noticing that the autofocus is slower for me than what you showed in the video, but it's highly likely there's some good reason for that that I'm unaware of. Thanks for these great reviews!

    So if I understand right, this lens actually converts to a 53mm? I have a nifty fifty with a EF to M adapter and I’ve been looking options to get my first “wide angle” lens. I’ve been looking for a 35 mm to open up my creativity. But i haven’t been able to decide on anything. Do you have any recommendations that will actually be 35 mm? Great video! New sub.

    Hey Todd. Nicely done. I do love the sigma 30mm but this looks really nice. I really like the manual aperture ring! I’m used to having iris control on video cameras. By the way, what mic did you use for this video? Great natural sound. Thanks. Ed

    You've reviewed both the Sigma and Canon lenses, do you still have them? Is there a chance you could do a back to back. We know the Viltrox is cheaper than either but how does it compare for autofocus, clarity, etc... I think most of us would decide if the price savings is worth it depending on those results. I currently have the Canon 30mm but it's resale value is quite crazy so if the Viltrox was close then I could sell the Canon and buy two lenses!

    great video... i recently bought a m50 to check out if it's a camera i could refer to friends and family as the price seems to drop recently quite a bit (430€ with kit lens) and as all beginners tend to aim for that 500€/$ mark i was curious if these affordable viltrox lenses are any good - your review conviced me!

  • @apislapis
    @apislapis 3 роки тому +1

    Fascinating location Todd. Informative and really stylish review. Your video wasn't out at the time, so I chose the Sigma 30mm f1.4 which is about £24 dearer than the Viltrox and nearly half the price of the Canon 32mm f1.4, which is a better lens but not twice as good. I'd be interested in your review of the Viltrox 23mm f1.4 and whether it is worth buying the fast lens, as I already own the Canon 22mm f2 native prime?

      @@alexquencholara33 Hi Alex, like you I have the Canon 22mm at present but I will be investing in the Viltrox 23mm when funds permit. I also have an Olympus MFT set up as MFT is better at somethings and vice versa, and I've bought an Olympus lens with this month's wages, so cannot do both. But next month I hope to buy the Viltrox, unless any unexpected bills arrive for the car/automobile or house. Fingers crossed.

      It's a tough call because cost is an important factor. Qualitatively? I think the Canon 32mm has the edge, but perhaps not enough to warrant 2x the cost.

    I would consider skipping this lens just because of the 1980's bad robot coloring (if it was the only 30-33 f/1.4 I'd buy it but it isn't). The silver doesn't match the M6's coloring either or I'd give it a pass. It's just ugly IMO.
