Please do a 4-way comparison: Sigma 56mm 1.4 vs Viltrox 56mm 1.4 vs Viltrox 56mm 1.7 vs TTartisan 56mm 1.8

[@SnIpErX07]

The original fujifilm 56f1.2 and the new 56 f1.2 WR as well!

[@CocoKoi321]

AND THE YONGNUO 50MM

[@momoz88]

Was about to suggest the same.

[@Junifoto]

hey Cris, good to see you, im your Fan since 10 years. Regards from Germany

[@Durio_zibethinus]

Reminds me about your recent viltrox video. Good work as usual 👏

[@danieldavis6316]

I thought you already reviewed this, but I was just thinking of the recent Viltrox lens lol

[@gavinphillips3973]

I would love to see a comparison between this lens and the Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN. I realise there's quite a big difference in price but it'd be interesting none the less I think. Very happy with the Sigma 56mm but intrigued with these new lenses.

[@classic.cameras]

Spoiler. The Sigma 56mm f1.4 is vastly better.

[@VincentTse]

shd compare this with Viltrox 56 1.7 instead

[@Patrick-vi9xr]

@@VincentTse Viltrox also much better than TT

[@sasamunjiza5203]

If you own the sigma, why would this interest you?

[@thevanster8084]

Thanks for this review, Christopher

[@McMaxW]

Would you consider doing a 50mm lens comparison? Lately we are getting so many new 50/56mm lenses (from Viltrox, Sigma, Fuji, etc) that is hard to know which one is the best option?

[@nickdovos3897]

I bought myself a ttartisant 27mm f2.8 autofocus on the Fujifilm X-M1, I really like it. nimble and sharp.

[@DigiDriftZone]

Great review as always but would appreciate if the title said APS-C or Full Frame to easily find the relevant reviews :)

[@user-ep4jg7gh4t]

Hello Chris please do review on fuji 8-16 f2.8 please

[@AE-cu5zy]

If you could only keep p1 lens between this lens and the 7Artisans AF 50mm f/1.8, which would you pick and why? Thank you

[@CocoKoi321]

PLEASE DO A COMPARISON OF THIS AND THE 100$ YONGNUO 50MM

[@fifi_starr_vlogs]

can i use it on fuji xa20?

[@echolaoful]

Please help me Decide, TTartisan 56 vs Viltrox 1.7.. Please :)

[@user-ny1rd4xi1z]

Viltrox, superior image quality in the corners and less focus breathing. Both perform great though and neither would disappoint.

[@echolaoful]

@@user-ny1rd4xi1z i did go the viltrox route already

[@swistedfilms]

At that price you're getting a LOT of value. Kinda like the Canon Nifty Fifty.

[@Doct0r0710]

Between this and the Viltrox f/1.7 it seems like the Viltrox is a bit better, but for some reason it's not available for Sony mounts. Also their 139USD price went up to 169USD, so it's not cheaper anymore.

[@jazzgtrs1243]

It’s on my Amazon “Wish List” and it’s still priced in the US at $139.00

[@Doct0r0710]

@@jazzgtrs1243 on their official store page went up to 169USD, and b&h photo has no stock left at 139USD. It could have been some introductory price or something, or maybe nothing

[@AaronFigueroa1]

Viltrox already has a 56 f1.4 for Sony

[@Doct0r0710]

@@AaronFigueroa1 yes, for 2x the price.

[@CristoforoBonissone]

👍

[@opalyankaBG]

The Viltrox 56 1.7 seems to be quite better.

[@CocoKoi321]

Isn't that more expensive?
Better comparison is the yongnuo

[@opalyankaBG]

@@CocoKoi321 no

[@Scyth3934]

Why wouldn't you just get a 50mm f1.8 for the same price? It would be full frame too!

[@gregorybeale]

Well Fuji doesn't take full frame lenses so....

[@garethdwatkins]

If it had had an aperture ring it would have been interesting with a Fuji camera, without it it's a deal breaker..shame..!!

[@verzivull]

ugh, that viltrox lens destroyed everything on-site.

[@bradl2636]

Not for video obviously

[@blabler2533]

Fujifilm cameras in general are never sharp because of the autofocus stuck on gen 1 dslrs

[@noelopez3]

Is this a crop-censored lens? I have a Sony 7r3.

[@Simpaulme]

Crop yes - listen at 20 seconds in 😉

[@lb_projekt]

Unfortunately the sigma is worst in flaring. It produces a rainbow when a ray of light comes into. It's become unusable

[@Patrick-vi9xr]

Weird, because I never had such issues with my copy of 56mm sigma, lose of contrast yes, but seeing a flare is really rare.
