![Sony A6700 POV City Street Photography! [VILTROX 27mm F1.2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YMrZxT0GUMc/mqdefault.jpg)
Hi Jason, thank you so much for your nice review for our AF 75/1.2 E Pro💯💯💯
Perfect for street photos of beautiful people
Thanks for this great review Jason ! :)
This looks awesome.
That depth of field is what the aps-c camera needed. Great price for what looks like a great lens. I can use this lens for a lot of things, not just portraits. I can see focusing on a model's eyes/eyelashes and the rest of the face is blurred.
For a Crop sensor thats amazing shallow depth, i cant wait to get this for my Fuji system
P.S.: I see on the back that you have a colour palette, which do you Use for photo and video calibration? Thanks, Max
I have had the x mount versión on my Fujifilm x-e4 for 3 to 4 months and it is amazing. It’s crazy how sharp it is wide open and the bokeh is fantastic. I will be getting the e mount versión to use on my a7c/a7iv. The price is an amazing value.
The lens is big on my x-e4 but the results are worth it. I usually carry the Viltrox 75mm and a XF 23mm f/2.
My Sony’s usually have a Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 and a FE 20mm f/1.8 or 85mm f/1.8. This will definitely be in the rotation as well.
Thanks for sharing and the 35-150mm looks like a killer lens, but what a beast!! It's cool this lens has a little bit of extra coverage so you can use it with a decent crop on the full frame cameras in full frame mode also... I also have the FE 20mm f/1.8, and FE 85mm f/1.8 which are both great lenses! Lenses like this are huge for full frame cameras. Have you seen the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 Lens review? ua-cam.com/video/aQxYfvDxvBw/v-deo.html that is basically a full frame version of this lens that is better don't get me wrong, but the size and weight is insane and far from practical in a most situations...
What will be the aperture value and final resolution when you use this on Sony a7c.
@@Jason_Hermann The Tamron is really all I need. It is a big lens but now I don’t have to carry a 35, 50, 85, 135 and so on. I carry the 20mm for wide shots.
I also have an a6400 that I can use the Viltrox on. I just really like the lens and want to support Viltrox so they can hopefully make more Pro level lenses at amazing prices. I haven’t seen the sigma review but I will check it out.
I want to Thank you for all of your videos. Your a7c tutorial really taught me a lot as I was getting back into photography after 10 year hiatus. I still have my Sony nex 6 and the 18-200mm lens. I have also watched your a7iv video since I recently got that camera.
@@Commonyou7149 I am not sure to be honest with you. But I think someone said 115mm at f/1.8. In crop mode the 33mp drops to 16mp.
I think you are correct James as far as the A7C question goes... And I really appreciate your kind words :) Thank you👊
Thanks❤
Hello I have a Sony Aps-C Which is more trustable (upon 8 fast shots how many missed autofocus shots has) Sigma 56 1.4 or viltrox 75 1.2? Is tha autofocus on the Viltrox 75 1.2 silent recording videos as it is on the Sigma 56 1.4 (or is it more noisy)? Is the Viltrox 75 1.2 sharp as the Sigma 56 1.4 or less Sharp? How much did you have to push up your iso with 75 1.2 and 56 1.4 in Interior scenes? Thank you for your content, I also speak English Italian, French And Portuguese and understand but not speak Spanish and Catalan. (I love Photo and Graphic design and Communication).
I wish there was a butter count on the video. I definitely think I'm gonna pick up this lens. Can't ignore the performance for that price. Butter.
Totally agree, and used the term so many times I should have had a counter 100%
I use this lens on a Sony a6700. It puts to shame many 2500+ euro/usd lenses from reputable manufacturers. This lens really lives up to it's PRO label(metal construction, weather sealing, wide F1.2 aperture, sharp, fast AF), excepting it's price: for this price, SoCaNikon sells cheap plastic crap not even sharp at F1.8. This really makes me think how badly we are screwed by the big camera manufacturers for the astronomic price of their lenses. Also, lenses like these really prove that APS-C format makes a lot of sense, as you get incredible quality pictures for less money and less weight to carry.
The Butter Maker :)
Indeed, hehe. :) @@Jason_Hermann
How good is the autofocus for running pets or children, does eye tracking hit rate any good?
Hi Jason!
What would you recommend for APSC Lens (portrait)
> Sigma 56 f1.4 or Viltrox 75 f1.2 ?
If you have the distance to work I would go with the Viltrox for sure. With that being said the Sigma 56mm being a shorter focal length is a little easier to use I would say though for portraits just so you know... The higher the focal length the further from the subject and it is harder to make a good connection for that magical shot I feel like when it comes to portraits... Looks wise though I like the 75mm better for sure.
This Viltorx is looking fascinating. I have 85mm 1.8 Viltorx for three years now, i was looking for something little wider and faster, this 75mm is interesting for me now. :)
Yeah, I also had the 85mm and it was a nice lens, but this lens is at another level all together.... It is a crop factor lens though and not a full frame like the 85mm f/1.8 Lens.
Someone in the comments said its approximately 115mm at f/1.8 full frame lens equivalent... I honestly don't know how to do that math, but that sounds about right to me based on the results this lens produces.
@@Jason_Hermann you multiply by 1.5... both lenght and aperture
@@simoz78 Ahhh, I knew that about the focal length, but not the aperture, so thank you for that 👊
I just checked. Even on FF there is not that much competition. I also had an 85F1.8 Viltrox. It is a great lens. But this being a 115F1.8 equivalent is kind of good if you count in size, weight and price. On FF you get 135F1.8 a bit more common. But also not cheap.
Friend of mine uses this commercially on a Fuji XT2. Absolutely a-maze-ing! Viltrox have a new series of anamorphic lenses coming out v soon. If they're as good as this, I'll be treating myself to an early (and late) Christmas prezzie (cos one's not enough)
You need to look for the "pro" badge, which this lens has. Viltrox only makes a few Pro grade lenses... I agree this lens is fantastic!
wait is it butter ? 😀 haha great review, this seems like a must have for my x-t4
Yes, it is a must have lens in my opinion 💯
I tried the Viltrox 85mm on a Fuji X-S20 and for video, the autofocus noise was really bad and the lens was clunking all the time. I guess I might have had a fast AF transition set. Very nice for photos thou and it peaked my interest for the new 75.
Yeah I noticed that about the 85mm as well, but this lens is on another level I feel like. The AF motor is good, but like I said in the video does still make noise if using for photo or video when the AF transition speed is not set to slow...
Jason, I wonder if I could get your thoughts on using this lens, the Viltrox 75mm, on a Sony a7 IV full time whether in crop factor mode or cropping myself? Do you see any pitfalls in doing this? The closest full frame alternative from Viltrox is the 85mm Mark II, but that one seems a bit dated and I'm wondering if Viltrox may be on the verge of releasing a new model of the 85?
The Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 Lens is a great lens I own and use, but it does not have the same butter making abilities as this lens. 16MP is decent for crop factor mode on the Sony A74, but that is a lot of resolution left on the table... Not sure about a new 85mmm Viltrox, I could see that maybe or something better like f/1.4 or f/1.2 even! That would be crazy...
Kinda late but samyang 85mm 1.4?
I don't normally get 3rd party lenses, but this is very tempting to go with my A6700 - I love the look of that buttery bokeh! Plus with that F1.2 aperture, it must be great to use in poor light
I totally hear ya, but this lens really is incredible and worth the consideration in my opinion 👊
@@Jason_Hermanndo you recommend this lens for video use? Instead of something like sigma 56 mm
For reference, this would be a ~115mm f/1.8 equivalent in full-frame. Which is nice.
I appreciate you sharing and could imagine the cost of a lens like that??
Please give a detailed review on Sony 15 mm f 1.4 G lens. I want to buy a fast aperture lens for my zve10, but I'm confused about which will be better, 20 mm f1.8 g/11 mm f 1.8/ 15 mm f 1.4 g
I'll see what I can do, I did show it off briefly int his video here: ua-cam.com/video/cDWUNhv300Q/v-deo.html It has really good attributes such as super punchy contrast, sharpness, auto focus, build quality, very compact, and killer separation with the f/1.4 aperture...
I just got this lens in today! It is very nice. I am a Frontier guy myself!
Very nice and no kiddin? Where about I'm in NY area...
I am in the deep South Texas Area. CPE Tech@@Jason_Hermann
Very cool, my brother lives in Texas and we call the Noc down there from time to time for help... I'm a CO guy, but we also do customer installs of the higher level circuits and do 911 stuff... Small world my friend 👊
I wish to get a same for ff z mount instead of dx in same size and aperture. FF lenses are very heavy when f1.2
I hear ya, the FF lenses like this are huge and really heavy!
Any updates on af performance after firmware update 1.0.4 in dec 23 as people say that it's not reliable for fast moving subjects like birds?
I am in the market for buying one.
I currently have sigma 18-50 f2.8 for my a6700, looking to have a prime now-- confused between sigma 56 f1.4 and the this viltrox 75.
Performance wise 56 seems to be reliable.
Wether sealing, image quality wise viltrox seems better. Also this will add a bigger focal length for my use.
I have not updated the firmware, so I can not say one way or another, but I would agree the AF with eh firmware I used was not fast enough for birds in flight coming towards you sort of thing... I don't think the firmware update would be able to fix that, but it's possible. I'll do some testing when I get some time and if it's noticeable improvement I will make a quick video about it...
Any thoughts of this paired with the A7RV? 26MP cropped which matches the highest APS-C in Sony's line up 🤔
I would use it like that or crop it after the fact for that little extra resolution, but 26MP is enough for most things I would say...
@@Jason_Hermann Thanks!
How far back do you think I'd have to stand to get a car completely in focus and the background blurred with this lens? Kinda curious how much space I'd need to work with while shooting a car using this lens. Killer review, thank you!
You would need a lot of space with this lens, I would say at least 30-50 feet looking at a 3/4 view depending on the size of the car, and I would want the background at least 2-3x that distance minimum for killer blur...
@@Jason_Hermann Thank you, that is super helpful! Appreciate it! Trying to decide if I'd be better with this or the Sigma 56mm F1.4? I think the Viltrox will get me closer to the results I want, just with less flexibility in that I'll need more room and the Sigma might be more versatile but with less background separation. What are your thoughts? Thanks again for another great review!
The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 is the other option worth considering for sure. The 56mm will be a lot easier because it's not as high a focal length so you won't need as much space. Background butter will be less though, but still should be good enough I would think.
Thanks for all the info!@@Jason_Hermann
Distance to the subject matters. I was able to get a picture like the flower picture with a very sharp 23mm (APSC) at f4.5 because the minimum focus distance was only 19cm. The weeds one I could achieve almost the same with a 90mm at f2.8 from 60cm.
I agree its not such a big deal the 75 has poor minimum focus distance for portraits. The point of this lens is really full body portraits while still being able to get smooth bokeh and separation. The rest is really a bonus, but anyone thinking of this primarily for non-portrait use, even a slower lens with closer focussing capabilities will get you there if shallow depth of field is the reason for buying.
Perhaps the most important consoderation for this lens should be the focal length which you don't really mention. 75 isnt 90, 100 or 135. But you still need a good amount of space. You need to be haopy directing kids by raising your voice and pointing a lot! The kind of situations where I find my 90 is too tight, I feel often the same with my 75. You mentioned using for families, but more people means stepping even further back. I don't mind the focal length, but when the lens is as big as this for APSC, if you arent using it as often as you'd like it can be the best lens in the world but it could still end up in a drawer being rolled out for special occasions only.
please suggest good tripod for sony zv E10.
This Manfrotto Beefree is a great option for the money in my opinion: geni.us/mi31ken I have the better more expensive version which is this guy here: geni.us/6fPcXw for reference...
I like butter.
Don't we all? :)
Ive got the 85mm 1.8 ii full frame. Thats about equivalent to this right?
Not really, f/1.2 is way larger of an aperture and 75mm is pretty close to 85mm as well. I also have the 85mm f/1.8 lens and it is great, but does not produce this amount of butter....
@@Jason_Hermann how is that so? Isn't a 1.2 apsc similar in light gathering ability and bokeh of a 1.8 full frame? The math checks out...
@@hdwblade I don't know how to do that math, but I'm comparing it from the perspective of using the 85mm f/1.8 lens on an APS-C body vs the 75mm on an APS-C body... When comparing full frame to crop factor that is a bit different as far as actual light values and stuff. I'm talking purely from the butter produced on a crop factor body.
@@Jason_Hermann right but bokeh should reflect that, right? Could you do a video on that comparison I'm interested. If it's that legit I'll sell my 85 1.8 for it and just crop in
viltrox 75 is best of sigma 56mm 1.4?
I would say yes, way more butter!!
Depends. But Sigma 56 is more versatile, somewhere between face portraits and full-body portraits. Also, the Sigma is smaller
this would be dope on products too no
крутое стекло!
Carbonara maker
great lens, but you've got me a serious aversion to the word butter...
It's a problem ;) but was clearly messing around in this video...
😅 a little expensive. You could do good portraits whith less money😊
For this type of lens it is not expensive at all in my opinion, but I hear ya as $550 is still a lot of money.... And yes of course you create amazing portraits with lots of different lenses.
It is less than half the price of the new 56/1.2 😅 in these terms it is cheap
Entre más trabajo, menos invierto en equipos que no se pagan por si mismos.
Im selling almost everything for this lense 😅
The butter maker will not disappoint 👍
@@Jason_Hermann you showed it really well and actually saved me going full frame this might be the only lense I need
The Fuji version is underwhelming...
