    I used this lens on a Fujifilm XT5 at a wedding in the Finger Lakes region of New York state, I shot alot of portraits of my family and our grandchildren, I used it mostly at 1.4 and the photos I was able to get were outstanding, no problem with a 4omp sensor on the Fujifilm.

    Having just received one of these and using it on my A6700, I have to agree with most of your findings. Where I strongly disagree is your findings on the AF performance being the equivalent of a Sony lens. For portrait and static objects, it is perfectly good, but for fast moving objects it just cannot keep up, even with the latest firmware. I was taking some shots of my dogs running yesterday and the Viltrox struggled to get any in focus (AF-C and animal settings). On the other hand the Sony 70-350G was nailing 9 out of 10 with the dogs eyes pin sharp.

    • @TheHybridShooter
      @TheHybridShooter  6 місяців тому +4

      70-350 is a completely different type of lens with much lighter glass elements that are easier to move. Expecting to get the same tracking AF results with a portrait lens and light telephoto zoom would be unreasonable even if both were Sony. I am obviously comparing the AF system to Sony portrait lenses, and I can say that it is as good as with Sony.

    • @ShootingAndReloading
      @ShootingAndReloading 6 місяців тому +1

      @@TheHybridShooter while I agree to an extent, the type of motor they chose (STM) is notoriously slow. Had they used a linear it SSM motor this could be improved, if at added cost. The Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM is a good example of how a similar focal length and aperture can have fast tracking AF - again, at a higher cost. From a specification perspective, this is about as close to the Voltrox as Sony have and therefore I still challenge your "as good as Sony" statement. It simply isn't. Sill, a great lens for the price.

    • @TheHybridShooter
      @TheHybridShooter  6 місяців тому +4

      @ShootingAndReloading The closest benchmark from Sony would be 85mm F1.4, but that is still apples to oranges comparison. According to my experiences with that lens, Viltrox is not only as good, but actually better. STM motors are definitely not “notoriously slow” I have no idea where did you hear that. They are made for precision, which why they are a good choice for portrait lenses.
      Unless you have a tracking comparison with some Sony 110-ish mm eqv. portrait lens, I have to insist on my "as good as Sony" statement.

    • @ShootingAndReloading
      @ShootingAndReloading 6 місяців тому

      I'm happy with my Viltrox 75mm, but wish its AF was as fast at the Sony for moving subjects. Having used both on my A6700, the Sony's AF is much quicker, and more accurate, while both have a similar field of view on the APS-C sensor. - 19° vs 21° for the Sony vs Voltrox respectively (127.5mm vs 112.5mm FF equivalent).

    • @TheHybridShooter
      @TheHybridShooter  6 місяців тому +1

      ​ @ShootingAndReloading As I wrote, I still don't find any of those comparisons to be relevant to due differences in types of lenses. The most relevant comparison is IMO with Sony 85mm F1.8 and that one does not have better AF. My "as good as Sony" claim still stands.
