@@Burritosarebetterthantacos lol canon definitely likes to charge a premium. Are you familiar with the 28mm summilux? $7,000 for the same focal length and speed.
Far from the best, it has a lot of problems with flaring (even with the hood on) and the bokeh looks dead. Also, it distorts around the edges. XF 14mm beats it's ass.
@@hunterhart1 yeah I have both. I stopped valuing the open aperture on viltrox since I found out that I dont like the out of focus areas that it produces. But I have managed to make fine looking videos on viltrox also even with the flaws that it has.
@@reljapetrovicmusic the value is that it shoots twice as much light in dark scenarios. Which I could not compare to this lens because it wouldn’t be fair to say “oh the XF is superior, although it can only let in 1/2 the light of the Viltrox” if the XF could shoot at 1.4, it would also have issues around the edges the bokeh would look dead too. It is a 20mm equivalent, no compression, no bokeh (To be expected by any wide angle lens based off of the research I’ve done.) either way I’m glad that you have found that there’s a better lens for you out there. I really do appreciate you watching and I appreciate your input. I love this lens and I find it to be really good! Maybe you have a bad copy, idk.
I've had two since they came out since they were the rage on youtube and I needed to travel weekly for a couple of months with a camera bag on my back. But that battery is the bottleneck just doesn't last that long if you're out and about and buying another is very expensive. I made due but eventually moved on to a Rotolight Neo III Pro since they were on sale for $440 and honestly it works better with longer battery life and uses the same Sony batteries as everything else. Only drawback is a 10 watt hit at 50watts versus the x60.
I am so surprised, I thought it was just hype but those two music videos were using mostly this and some shots with their more powerful one. I love it.
I bought the XT50 and this lens but i was wondering what are some other 27mm alternatives i could use? Im looking to invest in a lens that will last me besides the Fuji one.
@@sebastianfernandez6146 in my option the Viltrox 27mm is the standard, but Fuji makes a smaller pancake lens like this one and it’s built a bit better. Here is a review of the Viltrox that I did a while back. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aMpB3QmJTg4.htmlsi=uU1b4jkunHx2V7qP Would you want to get the 40mm focal length equivalent or something just close? The 23mm 1.4 original Fuji lens is great
Thank you for sharing this great video, in the sea of reviews and styles of videos this felt like I was sitting down hanging out with you chilling in a coffee shop talking gear. I have been wanting to get into portrait western / equestrian photography down in San Diego all of my friends are on the Sony A7 game however those are just so expensive, starting around $1298.00 for just the body. This could be a great option for me to start my photography side hustle career. Thank you.
@@JD-ez9mz thanks so much for your comment. I love this camera so much, I have 3 A7+ cameras and the images I get from this are still more pleasing in my opinion. But…. For the work I do, it is nice to have Sony’s tech. Can’t knock on any of the new cameras but this one still stands strong
@@hunterhart1 You're very welcome. It would be a wonderful starting point for me. Very comforting to know it's, more than capable. Then I can move up to Sony's eventually.
Does it lose focus while zoom racking in video? Its kinda my style of shooting and its something that the og 24-70 dont suffer from.. I really love to zoom in camera while shooting doc work to emphasize a certain topic or subject ;)
Great video that covers this lens! I was looking to purchase my first 24-70mm lens and you convinced me this is the one for my Sony system! Thank you for this video.
Yeah, I would do this. One of my friends just bought one and has not picked up his 35,50 or 85 since! The RF is just so much snappier than EF lenses adapted + it has so much focal range at an f/2
In this FL, I went with Sigma 40mm f/1.4. Although it is a FF lens, it covers the 44x33mm sensor area comfortably. IQ wise this lens is an absolute marvel - perfectly sharp and contrasty from f/1.4, no CA, very mild and soft bokeh. Build quality is just excellent (full metal body, weather sealed) and price is half of the Fujinon with no penalty in the IQ.
Bloody hell that makes me want to get that lens.... argh.... I have the Tamron 20-40mm F2.8, Tamron 70-180 F2.8 and the Tamron 150-500 but I am very tempted and just replacing the 20-40 F2.8 which this but at the same time I enjoy the 20mm for the odd things but not enough to justify going with this lens.
Amazing! Do you know if it works with Sony's steady shot automatically, or do you need to input the focal length manually to use steady shot? (Particularly when using with the Sony a7IV)
That thing is just a sub ohm vape. The liquid for it is more than likely just propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin which is what vape juice is made of. The remote and attachments are the only things that make it somewhat different. More than likely, you need to buy coils for the tank since they will eventually burn out.
I rented one a while back and it does A LOT for tight spaces too. Didn't know they had this model, I can already feel the impulse buy building for tomorrow.
the 18-35 was my favorite lens ever made and it kept me in the aps-c world waaaay longer because of it. I'll be honest, I'm still torn about getting rid of my smaller, lighter, CHEAPER system. the 18-35, in correllation with the 56mm 1.4 and the 50-150mm 2.8 (all sigma) have proved to be difficult to replace in the full frame world, attempting to not sell my car. lol. I cannot wait to get ahold of this one, and hopefully be able to justify the price.
Actually, if you go with full frame, it will be far far lighter. Remember to convert the aperture values accordingly with crop factor. Sony 24-50mm f/2.8 (Sigma 18-35 is a 28-53mm f/2.9 equiv) Sony 85mm f/1.8 (56mm f1.4 = 85mm f2.1) Sony 70-200mm f/4 G OSS (50-150mm f/2.8 = 75-200 f/4.2). Even the mark 1 is still quite good in terms of sharpness. So your current APSC lenses weigh 810g + 280g + 1195g = 2285g vs Full frame 440g + 371g + 840g = 1651g
Got mine early 2013, around March. TO THIS DAY I use it every week day in the studio with my trusty 24/105L. Around 200 shots a day, some days I broke 1000. I shot thousands of videos, last one being an interview, 2 days ago. Amazingly, it NEVER needed servicing. Best camera ever. I’ve been wanting to go mirrorless for a while, but I have really no reason to retire this amazing camera that I love so much. I’m glad you’re enjoying it as well.
The sound to value you get with the H1N is pretty insane. Even though it's like 10 (or more?) years old, this is definitley a case of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
Nice lens! There is also one for us Fuji users, but that version doesnt make much sense unfortunately. Overpriced and honestly not that good. Similiar to Voigtländer it makes more sense for you Leica guys due to prices of Leica stuff
@@venom2k2 yeah I mention that there’s one for Fuji in the video. I think having the crop sensor kind of creates a strange focal length around 40mm for this lens. But a lot of people adapt Leica glass to Fuji so 🤷🏽. Works well on the Sony for sure.
Great question, it does not actually. I kind of wish it did, I like a good flare but they did a good job of controlling it. The only character I’d say it has is the background separation due to those 14 aperture blades. I’ve never seen so many in a lens.
