- This is the best lens for Fuji X mount system - in my humble but very loud opinion.

Viltrox 27 and 75 are die hard lenses! Must buy for speed and sharpness with a shallower depth of field without breaking the bank for FF.
The sharpness is great and Dustin Abbott said the 75 is as close to an APO lens a non APO lens has ever gotten in his testing.
I have the 23 limited edition and the 75. I love my 75. I've had the 23 for two days lol.
Right! I sold the Viltrox 85 II for the 75
Fuji did a good move opening the mount. Now there are great third party lenses for a very good price and the Fujifilm ecosystem is more attractive.
truly
Viltrox coming in with the heat! Love that with the X-mount opening up, there’s so many excellent 1st and 3rd party options for people to use. Great video 🤝
Thanks king - support from HIMOTHY means a lot.
this is my first after kit, and its heavy for my x-t20, photo quality is superb if you like this focal range
Nice review! Man, if I was still doing pro photo/video work I'd be stoked about this lens. I'm 100% on the train where I do photography for fun now, and like all the retro/rangefinder-style cameras fuji makes. I don't remember how long ago you made that video Dee, but I agreed with you then, and still to this day that the x-pro3 is fuji's best camera ever.
I have no doubt that this viltrox lens is excellent, but I'm into the small and tiny lenses. I honestly hate that fuji updated all of their lenses to be bigger and designed for bigger more conventional mirrorless camera bodies. I swear if I did pro work again, I might get back on sony or lumix since I can get fullframe counter parts (at similar sizes too) at similar prices
I know it's not just me haha, I want fuji's brand to be all about making photography fun again. Beautifully designed smaller camera bodies, with small + fast lenses to go with them. I understand that adding an autofocus motor usually means bigger lens sizes, but man I know they can eventually do it/I just feel it's nowhere on fuji's or any 3rd party manufacturer's road map. If that's the case I'm sticking to my voigtlander 1.2 x-mount trio and will stick to MF the rest of my life lol.
I say bring on the xpros, x100s, xe's, tiny leanses ... Heck I'd even say bring on the Instax Evo's. Fuji = fun +functional +fashionable and I hope they stay that way
Couldn’t agree with you more! The 27mm f1.2 is my favorite lens right now and is stapled to my X-T5. The Fuji system is really rounding out well with a fantastic lineup of new LM lenses and phenomenal third party choices like this lens and the Voigtlander Norton 35mm f0.9.
Rounding out in a great way!
Wow - great timing. I've just purchased this lens and am looking forward to putting it through its paces - got great expectations too, judging by the reviews I've seen so far.
Hope you enjoy it!!!
I was hoping you'd make a video on this one! And you did not disappoint! Thanks for sharing your thoughts as always! 🙏🏻
I've been bouncing between 23mm and 35mm (APS-C) finding the first to wide and the latter to tele so I've been considering something in-between for a while. Partly due to how I remember really loving the Panasonic 20mm back in the day, and my wife's 40mm for her Canon DSLR. I also been wanting faster glass for almost a decade now (I use the f2 ones), but the 1.4 always seemed kinda expensive to me. This lens seem to maybe fix that in one fell swoop. I've also sometimes struggled in low light when doing events (I'm not pro, so that's fine), but this seem like a price accessible way for me to be able to do lower light events.
Regarding Fuji's lens focus: Lens makers have to carefully choose which kinds of lenses to make and companies in different situations have to make different choices. Fujifilm not only have to develop lenses, but their entire camera-lens ecosystem, this is probably partly why their lenses are so expensive. As for why they don't make the 1.2 lenses, the value proposition of X system for them is the small size, and their 1.4 are still quite compact compared to the competition. I also want to defend their f2 line: who else makes such high quality lenses that are in that size class? Speaking of, if there's a hole I think it might make more sense for Fuji to fill is to make a smaller tele lens that's longer than 50mm, like a 70mm f2.8, and I honestly *only* see Fujifilm being willing to make that. For Viltrox or Sigma they wouldn't consider such a ”slow” aperture not impressive enough.
Moreover… the official lens makers also can't make every single focal length (there's a opportunity cost at play here), so they've standardised on some focals. The 40mm equiv focal lengths is one that is rarely made. Sony only made their 40mm a few years ago, with the whole being plugged by others (yes, including Sigma). Same situation with Olympus/OM System. In that regard I think Viltrox is doing something very smart by making not only something cheap, but something truly unique!
The harmony between 3rd party and 1st party makes a good eco system and that’s what is happening with Fujifilm.
This lens is great. Pair it with a 56 1.2 on a dual camera setup for concerts and weddings, and it performs amazingly well
That sounds like a win all around. 😊
I bought this and the 75mm for less then 950 for both with sale on B&H and its been insane welcoming lens for me on my XT50 coming from Sony A7iii
Fujifilm has a 27mm 2.8 pancake lens, so, in theory, they have already covered this focal length; it may not be 1.2, but it's much lighter and, in my opinion, also takes beautiful photos. 😊
That's some moronic statement
Got it today, amazingly sharp as hell... I'm impressed 💪👌
I have been using here in the dark season for night street Photography with wonderful results. So happy to be the owner of such tool. Not the last time that I will look in Viltrox direction 👍🤩
Its getting hard to ignore this lens. I've been living at 27mm for some time now, starting with Fujifilm's f/2.8 and now Voightlander's f/2 manual focus lens. A 40mm Voightlander lives on my Nikon DSLR, so I am completely immersed in this angle of view.
Too many reviews are praising this lens, so I might have to give it a go.
I have the voigtlander too. And it's so good it prevents me from getting the viltrox. Would love the opinion of someone who has both
Back again with another banger! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
GO LIONS !!! Dope video too
Much appreciated boss 🤝🏽 also - you kind if I hit you up about a non-profit event in Detroit I’m a part of?
@@DeeRosa yeah ofc bro ill reach out now
@@vuhlandes much appreciated 🤝🏽
The sharpness in photos look amazing.
It’s cut your hands sharp.
@@DeeRosa I'm trying to hone in on taking sharp photos With my X-H2s, X-S20
@@DeeRosa hope you don't mind I shared your video on FB
My GUY. So so good, hey? Loved the shots I got with this when I borrowed it.
Great video, Dee. I bought the Viltrox 13mm 1.4 and love it. I also bought the Fuji 23mm 1.4 for the LM, but I’m wondering why I didn’t consider this 27mm. 🤔
I have the 13 & 75, the 27 will be coming soon!!! I love they are offering non traditional focal mm, I would love a 50mm 1.2 PRO as the next one!
That would be a dream! I’m hoping they make a long telephoto like a 135 f2 👀
It's one of the best lenses you can buy for the new Fujifilm X cameras.
I have this lens and agree that it’s very impressive, I don’t feel I have a use for the 75mm pro but I’m hoping Viltrox will release a 56mm f1.2 pro!
That’d be a dream!
Looking forward to Sirui’s 75mm 1.2. I’ll take the chromatic aberration for the essentially nonexistent breathing. That’s because I’m a video guy though lol
I would love a Viltrxo Pro 40mm f1.2 to complement the 27 and 75mm. Tell them to make it for me!😊
Deal!
Agree!
Fuji should really made first a new 18mm than the other stuff #fujifilm
Terrific review! Looks like a winner for the price. I’m a life long Bears fan and I say GO LIONS!!!
GO LIONS
The lens looks great!
I was hoping you would have some thoughts on this lens, your pragmatic approach and great videos are class!
I’m a new hobbyist Fuji shooter with an XT-3, kit lens and adapted cheap canon glass I kept when I switched.
Over time I was thinking to pick up the 23 f2 for its weather sealing and size and the old 35mm f1.4 as a nice wee two lens walk around kit. I keep getting drawn back to thinking about getting the Viltrox though as a one lens do it all solution. Used in the U.k. I could get the two Fujis for £650 - £700 ish and the Viltrox for £400 - £450 new. Being a working class Joe that’s a chunk of change to me.
Any thoughts on this conundrum?
Because it’s cheaper to get the Viltrox - get that.
The fast aperture will be able to get you shallow DoF that you wanted from the 35 and the weather sealing means it can go places with you like the 23. You can always get a tiny lens later on but if you want to save some cash and still have all the features you’d want - Viltrox.
@@DeeRosa thank you for the reply.
I think that’s the route I will go down when finances allow.
Someday I will get the 35mm f1.4 though. Your reviews of it have convinced me it would be a shame to have a Fuji and never try it out.
Thank you for the channel. 👍😀
GO MOTOR CITY KITTIES!
(*nice review, too.)
I’m looking at their Viltrox 28mm F1.8 for Sony. No one else is making that lens. Good for Viltrox.
Ooooh a fast 28? Love it
@@DeeRosa Yup! wanted to pair with the Sony A7cii and keep a compact setup. No one else is making 28mm F1.8 primes
Between this one or the Fuji 33mm… which?
Pick whatever is the lowest price you can find.
Sorry about those Lions :(
I’m gonna cry again.
Go Lions!
GO LIONS!
You wanna review my Ricoh griiix?
I appreciate the offer but I wouldn’t have much use for it for work so I wouldnot be able to give a solid review.
is it me or the lenses are getting bigger every day ? 😂 thanks for making this video.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
🥰
Thank God Fujifilm didn't make it, it would have cost two to Three time what it costs from Viltrox.
I mean true 😅
