When I was asked if I would like to try out the Viltrox 85mm f1.8 mkii I was a little hesitant because I don't really know what kind of lens you would get for $399 usd. But I'm honestly really surprised and in some cases shocked!

Dude, that location is pretty sick. Great video my dude!

@LeeZavitz 4 года назад

Thanks man. Yeah I shot something there back in the early winter before snow and all that grass was dead and golden. I was actually hoping it would have looked like that instead of green haha oh well.

@denzelmotuba5336 3 года назад

the bokeh on the viltrox looks waaay more natural the sony's bokeh give off a spirally kinda look if you look closely..i'd definitely go for the viltrox

@DS-fi4hf 3 года назад

These lenses are really similar! I think i'd give the edge to the Sony for just a touch more sharpness. I couldn't tell the difference in a blind test though. Excellent photos, btw!

@smhvito 2 года назад

idk watching eyebrows the sony lens looks worse in many of the shots but the more reliable autofocus makes it even better

@root9065 4 года назад

That lens is doing a great job. I don't have a Sony camera but this was nice to watch :) I'll check your presets soon enough. Thanks for delivering on yet another amazing portrait shoot!

Thank you for always putting out the clearest and best content ! You always have what I’m looking for 🙏

@ckfvideo 3 года назад

Good video and nice shoot. I have this lens for my Sony A7ii and I am very impressed with it, especially for the price. I think both lenses produce a nice image side by side with a slight edge to the Viltrox for the quality of the background and sharpness of the subject. For my uses I am happy with my choice between the two.

@SourPlanet 2 года назад

The sony def has more contrast and sharpness... but it's not a world apart. It's crazy how good these 3rd party lenses are getting. I remember when they all looked like you were shooting through a bus window.

@ogonzilla 4 года назад

Yo!! Great sponsor! 😁 Shots were amazing. Great review.

@LeeZavitz 4 года назад

He’s the best sponsor a guy could ever ask for! The Shots were ok. It’s a lot to set up and shoot in 45mins when you are also the bts guy. My plan was to have a lot more golden hour sun ripping into the shots.

@armaniusmaximus7785 3 года назад

Great review. Great photos. And lovely model!!! One of the most beautiful models I've seen.

@crazyME456 3 года назад

noticed that the sony 85/1.8 is slightly sharper but the viltrox has slightly better bokeh and less cats eye. pros and cons i guess. but both very excellent lenses.

@francescorota2982 4 года назад

You need to get your hands on the Fuji version of that lens. Those 150g of difference with the MK1 is a big deal for Fuji Bodies

@LeeZavitz 4 года назад

I assume it’s probably just as awesome for Fuji. I had no idea how good that lens is. I’m super impressed. You typically don’t get that kind of optics for $399

@raw_pc 6 месяцев назад

Viltrox is much softer than Sony however it produces more round bokeh which imo is more pleasing to the eye. Softness might be something people are looking for as it smooths the skin a bit. Decent lens for sure. Awesome shots!

@joomlajunkie 4 года назад

@TechiverseYT 3 года назад

Really dig your video formatting! I really appreciate the amount of work done with aligning and syncing all of the photos and videos for comparison. Any chance you can take another look at this lens if you still have it? Firmware V1.1.7 was released on September 30th according to Viltrox's firmware download page and the update note states, "Improved the focusing performance of this lens". I'm very curious to know how well it would do now in the continuous AF 11FPS burst photo shooting comparison with the new firmware. Oh, it'd be cool to know how much it's improved in video AF performance as well.

@mzbsbsbstcmxjs7817 Год назад

The bokeh is rounder on the viltrox for sure.

@Landmarkfilmcollective 3 года назад

Seems like the Viltrox gets a wider surface area in focus and the Sony 85mm has more of a pinpoint of focus. interesting depending on how you shoot your photos and what you are wanting.

@kl3nd4thu 4 месяца назад

After 3 years, has Viltrox released firmware that helps in the focusing issues when you were on high continuous? Or the heavy focus breathing issues too?

@ipablo16 4 года назад

Besides weight and the hood, is there any difference between mk2 and mk1 version? Great video btw!

@richardpcrowe 3 года назад

I don't know of any 85mm prime lens that does suck! Every one that I ever used produced some excellent imagery whether I shot with a Canon lens on a Canon DSLR body, a Canon lens adapted to my Sony mirrorless cameras or a native e-mount Sony lens on my Sony mirrorless cameras (both full-frame and APSC). I purchased my Sony 85mm f/1.8 lens used from Adorama for $450 U.S. Dollars...

Have you ever tried the Batis 85? Wonder how the would perform Compared to the Viltrox?

@dindiano573 Год назад

I love sony... but I want that round bokeh from Viltrox 85.. it's sad that Sony's 85 1.8 bokeh looks like a cat's eye. so I've decided to purchase the Viltrox. 'cause you can only get a round bokeh from Sony's 85 "1.4 GM" to get that round bokeh. :(( that price is gold.

@ericthestone 4 года назад

One thing that stopped me from going Viltrox is warranty. If I ever have problems with the lens, do I send it back to China? There isn’t a retailer in Canada that takes care of the product.

@LeeZavitz 4 года назад

I hear that. I guess that’s the trade off for how cheap it is.

@LeoInterHyenaem 2 года назад

Have you given up on FujiFilm, Lee?

@EDCGadgets 4 года назад

Finally someone else saying that the Sony 85 1.8 has f**ng UGLY bokeh. It's the worst bokeh on a lens I have every used, it's distracting as hell. There is no smoothness and everything is cat eye shaped. (I have used it for outdoor portrait work for 1 year, in TONS of lighting situation... I am not just making it up) I have switched to the Canon 85 1.2 and I am using it at 1.6, and the bokeh is out of this world, but I guess the same goes for the GM 85 too... You can't see the bokeh difference in MOST lighting situation, I agree.... but when you can see it.... the 85 1.8 Sony is annoying as hell.

@MprivetM 4 года назад

No idea, why I'm watching this... I have Fuji system. Guess I like cameras reviews in general :D

@LeeZavitz 4 года назад

They make this lens for Fuji so I can assume it would perform the same. But it will end up being closer to a 100mm lens.

@SkyGW 4 года назад

the fuji version mk2 just released 85mm 1.8 which makes it like a 135mm full frame equiv but it's a very good alternative to the 90mm f2 for half the price.

Can anyone tell me the difference between these two links? There appears to be two of the Sony 85mm f1.8 on Amazon, both from the Sony store. I have no idea what the difference is? One is £600 (currently reduced to £475) and the other is £450. The only difference I can see is that one says telephoto 85mm and the other says portrait 85mm. But the link in the description of this video takes you to the £450 ('telephoto') lens. Pls help!
