Hello, The New Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 Pro Lens is now available for Sony E-Mount and Nikon Z Mount Here: geni.us/wdDd Also, don't forget about the 8% Discount Code = JASONHERMANN if you purchase at the Viltrox store...
I think Viltrox 27mm and 75mm will be my go-to lenses for a6700. I feel like I can sell my all other lenses now.
I wouldn't, I just thoroughly checked the brands reviews.
They are great options for sure in my opinion although the AF is not as good as the Sony lenses, so if shooting sports or recording video with deep focus transitions, you might want to consider keeping a Sony lens around.... With that being said for non high speed photos and not to aggressive AF with video, these lenses are fantastic options for the money!
@Jason_Hermann I have had successes so far with photographing (with 75mm) my 8 years old for her gymnastics competition. Maybe once she gets better and faster, the lense might not serve me as well then.
Oh yeah, you can still get great sports shots, but with subjects coming towards you at high speed for example, the hit rate will be less on a lens like this compared to a G or GM lens for example... The AF motor quality does make a significant difference with high speed subjects coming and going from camera position in particular. Thanks again for the comments 👊
Is the Sony e mount version of 27mm f1.2 out in the market yet?
Viltrox is becoming a major player the last two years! The 13MM is in my future on my 6700 for sure.
100% agree!
I just ordered this lens. F4 looks so good in your video
Another great vid! May keep this lens on a future purchase list.
Love your enthusiasm about the beautiful bokeh! I’m thinking about leaving the Sony Full Frame world. Seeing that I can get most of what’s important to me in a smaller form factor. Thank You!
Thanks for the kind words, but it is also worth noting these lenses are large and heavy to get that f/1.2 aperture... SO the camera will be a bit smaller, but not so much these f/1.2 AF lenses..
yes, true words. I guess I’ll have to really hold the setup in my hands. Thanks for taking the time to give helpful advice 🙌🏻
I have the Viltrox 23mm and the focus ring stopped working to control the lens. Viltrox hasn't been helpful in anyway to get the lens fixed. I've been so irritated with Viltrox and their customer service I couldn't see myself purchasing another Viltrox lens again. However I am impressed with a few of the new releases.
I'm sorry to hear that....
The aperture ring stopped working on mine. The company was horrible, I took a loss. And after only six weeks.
Was waiting for it since it came out for fuji. Will buy, no doubt.
You and me both!!
viltrox killing the game I love to see them bring a 135mm out (equivalent)
That would be awesome and somewhere around 85mm should do the trick for that.... I actually would love to see a 100mm f/1.4 or f/1.2 Pro Lens next myself the most...
@@Jason_Hermann I agree mate 90mm would be 135mm and do it at f1.4 be crazy combo Viltrox are really stepping up things with the 75 and 27 let’s hope they do a 90mm f1.4 😂
They make the 85mm f/1.8 Full Frame Lens I reviewed a while ago, but it is not near as good as these newer lenses... Bring on the 90mm f/1.4 APS-C 💪
@@Jason_Hermann yeah these Viltrox are a different gravy we need a 90/100 mm f1.4/1.8 that would be killer
💯
Just bought it, I am excited for it to arrive :)
Very impressive performance for a bargain lens. Thank you for the review.
Thanks for watching and I totally agree 👍
wow, finally ..and also first comment :)) the custom button i would use it for iso on a6700
1st :)
Great review, This definitely going to be the 'next' lens for my A6400 - great quality walk aroud lens with super butter options!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. It’s the lens I’ve been waiting for to go with my 75/1.2. When can we order it? While this and the 75/1.2 are a little heavier these will make a great 2 lens kit with my A6700. Now can we get them to do a Pro version of a 28mm equivalent (18 mm). Thank Viltrox from all of us interested in this lens. 40mm is one of my favorite focal lengths.
Thanks for the comments Steve and a pro version of the 28mm would be nice! I'm actually using the 28mm f/1.8 lens in my studio on the A74 for the last few videos and even though it is not a pro grade, the results are still really good in my opinion. So much so I have not taken that lens off the studio A74 yet... haha
I forgot to say, this lens will be available for both Sony E and Nikon Z in January I was told...
@@Jason_Hermann Thank you for the availability update. Will look forward to ordering it. Your review was the first I’ve seen.
@@Jason_Hermann I really love all your videos specially tutorials . I went to their website Viltrox store today is 29 of january . When I click the thanks the Emount I could not find the 27mmF1.2 . and when I chat with them they gave me a link fujifilm X , When do you think is the release of it. Thanks from sweden Gothenburg
It's cool because it kinda looks like a Fujifilm lens. I dig it.
Yeah it does ;)
been wanting this so bad for my xt3
It's an awesome lens, although not light weight ;)
I have this lens for Fuji. One of the most amazing glass I’ve ever used. Tack tack tack sharp and yes buttermaker delight.
Yeah, it's an incredible lens and it's interesting how some come out for Fuji first and others for Sony first... Really awesome we have these options for both systems at the end of the day and thanks for the comments :)
…now if only Fujifilm AF would improve 😊
Also the XF version is nurtured - no AF/MF button, nor de-clicker.
Love Fuji for everything except AF, love these Viltrox lenses.
what a lens... ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Hey Jason new to your channel but loved the review of the Viltrox 75mm f1.2 you did, im new to photography so excuse the newby language, but is this 27mm lens basically the 75mm lens but more zoomed out?
Yes, that is exactly what it is to keep things simple....
Can you confirm if it works on full frame with active steady shot for video. I’ve found the 75mm works decently well even in full frame. Plus the newer bodies still have Eye tracking even if you CIZ to punch in another 10% if needed.
Hello, yes I just confirmed the Eye-AF works with 27mm in full frame mode with active stabilization enabled. There is still a decent vignette though just so you are away...
any idea when it's releasing?
I was just told after the Chinese New Year which is February 10th we should expect to see it available in the USA
Correction the Sony A7R5 is Sony's best APSC camera!
haha, fair enough ;)
I don't quite get all that praising for blurred background. To me it's bit nervous. Otherwise, bargain for the price.
PLEASE HELP!!! I am asking this question HERE on your newest video so you SEE it and respond to me! : PLEASE give me your link on HOW to download VIDEOS from the Sony ZV-1 I know we saw you do a vidoe on that and I cannot find it. I cannot find my videos on my Lenovo laptop that I downloaded from my Sony ZV-1 !!! I remember you saying something about Root and clip ??? Thank you PLEASE HELP!!!

How does this compare with the Zeiss 55mm f1.8 on a FF camera ? Which combo do you think produce better looking images ?
The Viltrox is not a full frame lens so it does not compare really in that regard? If you are talking a full frame camera with the 55mm Zeiss, vs a APS-C camera with the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 Lens, it's pretty close, but the Viltrox does not have the same micro contrast and Zeiss color due to the T* lens coatings, in my opinion.... However, the Zeiss has some significant purple/ red fringing in the high contrast areas compared to the Viltrox which has pretty much none.
@@Jason_Hermann Yep, that is pretty much exactly what I was wondering. I did compared the 55mm 1.8mm Sony Zeiss with my 56mm f1.4 Sigma, both on my A6700, and honestly in the end I prefer the rendering and the colors of the Sigma. This Viltrox seems to render very contrasty, colorful and smooth photos wide open, that’s why I was wondering how does it (put on a APSC camera) compared to a similar FL lens on a FF camera, like the Zeiss (I know 40,5mm equivalent is not the same as 55mm) Thank you for answering.
I'm in love with the 75. Unfortunately I have to travel with my wider lenses, and these things are such bricks. The F1.2 doesn't help me enough to swing me away from the old Sigma 30mm F1.4 (at less than half the weight). Another awesome video BTW!
Thanks for sharing and great point about size and weight... I also have the sigma 30mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.4 which are great options as well.
I have the 75mm 1.2 for Sony, but i'm returning it (not because its bad) not at all, but its kinda heavy and i do have the 85mm 1.8 from Sony already which works flawlessly. I'm waiting for the 27mm 1.2 100% for sony to buy it right away! the 75mm is superb, incredible quality, so i can't wait for this 27mm!
Hola amigo, dos dudas: 1- sin considerar peso y tamaño, viltrox 75mm es mejor que el sigma 56mm?. 2- viltrox 75mm es lo mismo tanto para fuji o para Sony? O tiene más calidad en fuji que Sony?
Hello, better build quality yes, optics are very similar quality wise, but very different do to 56 vs 75mm... Fuji and Sony are the same quality as far as I can tell other than no custom button which the Sony version has...
I don’t see the 27mm 1.2 on the viltrox shop for sony just the one for fuji l live in Europe could that be why?
It won't be available until January for Sony E and Nikon Z
hey jason, have you noticed any over heating or other issues when using the a6700 in 4k 24 or 4k 60?
Yes and here are my results:
Recording times for video
- 4k/60p 45MB -8-bit = 42 min total warning came on at 40min
- 4k/60p 200M 10-bit = 52 minutes total temp warning at 46min
- 4k/60p 100M 10-bit - 30min (camera was not 100% cold when starting) (128 degrees on back of camera)
- 4k/120 = 18min total 16min temp warning came on
-4k/24p = 50M 10-bit w/ HDMI and USB-C power in studio (Thermometer on back of camera reading 120F *temp warning came on at 1hr 10min) Temp warning went off at 1 hour 20min then came back on… Camera overheated at 1 hour 30mm w/ HDMI and recording…
-4k/24p = 50M 10-bit NO HDMI and USB-C power (overheated after about 1hr 40min)
Full frame lense available?
Yes, Viltrox also makes full frame e-mount lenses, but this one is for the crop factor cameras...
@@Jason_Hermannmeaning they will not have this lens for full frame camera like a7 series?
@@thebeastmtb Yes, correct. Viltrox makes full frame e-mount lenses and APS-C e-mount lenses like this beast.
Sigma 23mm F1.4 E mount is way better ! Great video !
Thanks and I have not used the Sigma 23mm f/1.4 lens yet, but would like to test it out for sure 👍
