Appreciate this review, thanks. Seeing your samples and how the Nikon’s corners are better, its looking great.
I’ve been watching a few of your vids. Just wanted to say that you deserve more credit for your amazing work. Keep it up!! 🙌🏻
Thanks man this means so much to me!! ❤️
Nice and very detailed video! Well done Elias!
Thank you my friend I'm happy you liked the comparison 😁😁
This was helpful Thank you. I have the Z30 coming, and i wanted something light and faster than the kit lens.
Thanks so much for the review. Been really curious about the differences between these two lenses. You and Christopher Frost are my go to for lens reviews for my ZFC. I already have the 24mm and love it. I like that it's lighter even though it's more plasticy. Love your street photos too. Really like night shots with neon etc.
Will probably look into getting the 24mm as well in the future if I find a seller for my viltrox 😅 I'm glad you like my work Dale , thank you!!
Haven’t used the Viltrox lens. I recently purchased the Nikon lens to use primarily for street photography. I love it! Super light weight and small, unobtrusive and very sharp wide open. With the 1.7 aperture, you can get some nice subject separation. I’d highly recommend the Nikon lens
It's an excellent pair with the zfc. Can't go wrong, day and night 🥂
does it have VR ? since z30 doesn't have ibis ...
@@mrsyiemlieh4310 No it doesnt
Thanks for the comparison mate.❤
No problem brother ❤️
Viltrox has a AF 20mm full frame 2.8 lens for Sony and Nikon mount. Hope to see your comparison video for it in the future
Hi Illias! 👋🏻 I actually switched from Viltrox 23 mm f1.4 to Nikon Z DX 24 mm f1.7 and honestly I am super happy with that decision, although I made it as 100% blind choice - at that time there were literally no reviews of Nikon 24mm f1.7.
It is not only much lighter and compact compared to Viltrox (that makes chasing my 1yo daughter easier 😂) but for me it also produces better looking photos.
And also I really enjoyed your video, cheers from Poland 🇵🇱✌🏻
Might actually do the same eventually if I find a seller for the viltrox 😂
I enjoyed the review and appreciate the effort put into it. Don't have either lens at the moment but do have a range of Viltrox lenses that are great value. One point of clarification: diffraction is a function of the entrance pupil diameter and nothing else. If one lens stops to f/45 and the other to f/11, they will both have identical diffraction at all apertures from wide open to f/11. Aberrations can and will differ, but not diffraction.
That's good to know, thank you for clarifying that for me mate , always good to learn more stuff 🙏🙏
i think the size and weight will be the main factor for z series crop sensor since it dont have IBIS, but still I realy wanted to still havew a viltrox on my list
Συγχαρητήρια Λιάκο, δεν ήξερα ότι έχεις κανάλι! Πολύ καλό review ανάμεσα στους δύο φακούς! Τυχαία έψαχνα για τον Nikon 24mm 1.7 z mount, έτσι από περιέργεια και το UA-cam πρότεινε εσένα. Ξανά, μπράβο!
Σας ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ!! Φανταστικός φακός ο 24ρης και πολύ μικρός. Ιδανικός για καθημερινή χρήση. Αν δεν είχα τον viltrox θα πήγαινα κατευθείαν στον Νίκον
Nice review man. I`m still considering if I should get the 24 1.7 for my Z fc. Had the Viltrox before for my A6400 but it`s too bulky for the Zfc I guess. The plastic Nikkor doesn`t bother me to much. I just wish they made the SE version for it like 28 and 40mm to fit the Z fc better. ps. Good to see that not only my hands are shaky when holding stuff in front of the camera ;D
Yeah I wish for the SE version as well. I'm waiting a little bit since there were rumors about that but still nothing confirmed.
Shaky hands for the win my brother haha 😂
Currently using the viltrox 23mm f/1.4, by far my go to lens. Seldom used my z 40mm. I like the FF equivalent of 35mm better. The viltrox have some awesome low light capabilities and bokeh effect. Also love its built quality (all metal). However the downside is it is bigger in size. So the new nikkor 24mm dx lens might be a dealbreaker especially for street and travel photography. Love your review thanks!
As a long time user of the viltrox I have the same thoughts 💭 might trade the two but I'm not sure yet 😂
Would have loved to get your take on the size difference. Might not seem like much but the smaller Nikon size might be the difference between taking the camera with you or leaving it behind
I'd much rather have the smaller size. Since these lenses are great for travel/street photography the smaller size does help 😁
Thanks for the video. I was hoping to see a comparison of chromatic aberration which you mentioned in another comment to be worse on the Viltrox.
Funny that the price of Viltrox jumped so much, I can witness that here in Finland as well.
Luckily I got mine used but in mint condition for almost 100€ cheaper than the Nikon, which made it a no brainer, especially considering that I can use the same filters as on my Sigma 30mm.
A year ago I got it really cheap as well which was an incredible steal 😁 yes I should've made a test on the chromatic aberration but I kinda forgot about it to be honest 😔 but from the sample pics that I have taken in many different scenarios the Nikon handles it way better wide open
At f2.8 both clear up eventually
May I ask why in the image quality tests the pictures taken by the Nikon lens often use a faster shutter speed? This maybe one of the reason why the nikon lens pics are darker.
It's probably because of some clouds that went in front of the sun. Nevertheless, the Nikon has some small vingeting problems in wider apertures. Nothing to worry about 😅
Thanks for the video! I went with the VIltrox. The focus breathing was the only reason for not going with the Nikon. Same price for both lenses, here, at least.
You can't go wrong with either of them. Many months after I still use my viltrox as well. Great lens especially for client work. Looks more professional 😂
I think that I will get the Nikon lens, I agree that it might have it's own flaws but it still should work better being a native lens. Right now I use an adapted Sigma 50mm F1.4 Art lens on my Nikon Zfc and it has its moments of hunting etc.
The hunting moments are small and rare so it's not a big problem! Maybe the new firmware update on the Nikon zfc will help even more with that 😁
I loved that Viltrox for Sony APS-C, but I think that the Nikon 24mm with the tiny size and 1.7 aperture will be my choice for the Zfc
Great videos by the way! ευχαριστώ! (
Many people are grabbing this lens and it's becoming a best seller as I predicted. The small size definitely helps with that 😁
Παρακαλώ my friend 🥂 the translate was on spot haha
Добрый день.Скажите пожалуйста можно снимать свадьбы на видео на nikon zfc
Yes it is. Just make sure to shoot in a flat profile to achieve the best color grading experience possible.
Are you planning to do Cinematic b roll or film the whole wedding in one go?
Thanks for this review - I have literally just received the Nikon 1.7 24mm and intend to use it for street and lowlight on a Z30 which is a super portable combo.
The only thing I am not sure of is the lens hood - as a matter of course I always fit a UV filter to my lenses for protection. looks to me as if I can only fit this filter to the lens hood if I intend using it - the alternative being fitting it to the lens and forgetting the hood.
Personally i love using the 24mm without the hood to keep it small. With the hood you will get more contrast in your images. If you edit your files you can always add it yourself later on and not care about the hood. Keep it in your camera bag tho , just in case you shoot in harsh sunlight
@@IliasKoureas Thanks - I will take your advise. The reason I bought the Z30 was so I could fit it in a small bag & it will be easier without the hood. I'm visiting Bath on Saturday and hope to get some shots inc some nightime ones of the festive lights.
😅@@IliasKoureas
I use the same filter for this as my 16-50mm. Fits straight to the lens and the lens hood attaches to the filter
I have a crop system a z50,
Is it better i buy a 13mm viltrox 1.4 than 23mm?
Depends on what you shoot. I feel like most people will get more value out of the 23mm because it's good for many things. Meanwhile the 13mm even though it's excellent, it's a niche lens
I have just chosen the Nikon 24mm lens due to the light weight and Nikons reputation in producing high-quality lenses. Look forward to use it.
You will enjoy it a lot!!
Ilias, I need your assistance. I recently got the Nikon Z fc camera from watching your videos. It is a fantastic camera all round, however I have noticed that the battery this camera takes is probably the least supported battery I can find. K&F don't even support this battery. I wanted to know what your thoughts are with the battery and how you get around this issue. Do you buy any 3rd party EN-EL25 battery brands or do you buy Nikon's own. Also have you had issues with battery life and having no way of charging them away from home. It be greatly appreciated to hear your thoughts on the matter
Hello mate I happy for your new camera , I hope you create many memories with it!! ❤️ About battery life I would suggest 100% to save a little bit more and just get 1 or 2 extra original Nikon batteries. Personally I have only two batteries and they are more than enough for a whole day of photography. I didn't even needed a third one on wedding days or on large hiking trips etc. I don't have a solution on charging it on the way. You can charge it via USB C with a power bank or something but you have to get the exact cable for this job so I didn't even bother. I recently bought a really cheap JJC dual battery charger for less than 20$ (you can find these in Amazon or in most camera shops) and it really is a lifesaver!! Charging my two batteries at once is all I need. I know that Nikon branded batteries are really expensive but they are worth it. Hope that helps Stephen 😃
@@IliasKoureas Thanks so much for the help! I have ordered a JJC dual battery charger, didn't even see it on amazon till now! So glad to find one that supports USB. I am loving the camera so much, picked it up at MPB at an absolute bargin, second hand. Honestly its pretty much mint condition, with the 16-55 kit lens. The images are crisp, the dials are snappy and percise. One major surprise for me is how everyone has said this camera is light and cheap feeling. WHAT!? Its got some weight to it with the lens and battery combined. Can't even tell most of the time it's made of plastic, especially when the body gets cold it nearly feels like metal. My only gripe with the camera is the battery choice. It's surprising how little support there is for it on the market. I dunno if its because there is only 3 camera's that support it or if its the lastest in terms of the EN-EL series. Either way i'm not disappointed in the camera its self. Your an insperation, hell inspired me to finally make a decision! Look forward to your next video! :)
@@stephenthomas00 Yes that charger since it has usb connections is perfect for on the go and you can use it with a power bank or with a regular charging block on an electrical outlet. In my opinion this camera HAS to be light and small because we are supposed to have it on us during walks , travels , hikes etc. So i guess people that get annoyed by the ergonomics dont understand the purpose of the camera. Thank you , stephen for your kind words im really happy :D
the Zfc has a full metal Body, it is build by a light weight Magnesium alloy like the professional Cameras use too. The masses can`t judge or think on their own anyway, it is easier to just repeat the nonsense what others say, than to think for their own.... the Zfc is just right for an everyday all purpose tool, that even looks phantastic....@@stephenthomas00
7:06 Nikon is darker because of faster shutter speed
I was switching the shutter because clouds were coming in and out and the exposure was changing. Tried to expose them all the same but I clearly failed at these specific images ☠️
Perfect for my NIkon Z FC
Which one did you choose?
Nikon smashes Viltrox to the ground when it comes to color - it's so rich and beautiful!
True , the colors are popping more on the Nikon lens straight out of the camera!!
Lmao I was like man I want to get the Viltrox for my zfc but I realized I bought the silver version of this lens already some months back. I think the 75mm f/1.2 though is their best lens overall.
I wanted the silver version myself but it wasn't available back then lol yeah the 75mm is for sure the best you can get but its a completely different lens and focal length 😅
Nikon all the way!
I think it's the better option!!
nikon lens looks cheap and so small, for me viltrox more pro look to the client,, this is important when paid job hehe
Yep, the viltrox is much more professional looking. I use it even for weddings
this is how people are... they judge books by the cover...
@@deltatom2459 Its the truth sadly
The word "NIKKOR" has looked more pro to the client for the last 91 years.
@@deltatom2459 fact, average client just see the result
The conclusion is viltrox,s bast built Quality and buetifull lens the nikon 24 f1.7 built is garbage.
If build quality is a top priority then viltrox is for sure the winner 🏆
See below! I have the 28 z and it’s surprisingly good despite all the plastic...
@@dominiclester3232 its a great lens , its just not worth it since the 24mm got released. Good thing is that its a fullframe lens as well
