Coming in hot right after the beautiful Viltrox 56mm f/1.7 for Sony APS-C, we have an equally cutesy and demure lens - the Viltrox 40mm f/2.5, but in Full Frame this time! But will the reduced aperture make for a boring lens? Let’s go in depth and find out!

For 3D pop, which one is the best? This lens, 55 1.8 zeiss, or Yongnuo 35 f2? I find the zeiss surprisingly has modern rendering, and not as Poppy as the Zeiss planar 50 1.4..

I gave up trying to find a reasonably priced "previously owned" Sony 40mm several months ago and instead went with the Sigma 45mm f/2.8 iSeries lens. The Sigma is an outstanding lens but, had the Viltrox been available at the time, I would have snapped that up without question. Sadly, I'm now lusting after the Voigtlander 40mm f/1.2 Nokton :-(

@WesPerry 19 дней назад

That Nokton is a whole other beast! Lol

@@WesPerry I have that one - for casual outgoings (when not out with bigger af f1.2 50 or 35. ) But know that it is hardly focusable at any moving subject at f1.2 since dof so small....)

@homecareful 19 дней назад

It doesn't appear to be available for Fujifilm X mount, as per the Viltrox website. Which would make sense as it is full-frame and Fujifilm X is APS-C.

@WesPerry 19 дней назад

Oh no! I thought it was! They really should, as it’s no bigger and the price no higher than their APS-C models…

@@WesPerry Absolutely.

@terencemorrissey4413 19 дней назад

This or a used Sony FE 40mm F2.5?

@WesPerry 19 дней назад

Depends on the price. Even a used Sony goes for over $500 most of the time.

@AR-vf7vg 17 дней назад

You DONT BY for "value". (And there is a SAMYANG (af 45? - i dont remember) with character.- also 2nd hand.)

@WesPerry 17 дней назад

@@AR-vf7vg I think I referenced the Rokinon 45, which is the exact same lens as the Samyang.

@AR-vf7vg 17 дней назад

@@WesPerry Knowing that might make it perhaps even more easy to find one second hand.

@WesPerry 17 дней назад

And many people buy Exclusively for value. In my previous Meike 85 1.8AF video dozens and dozens of people were upset that I pointed out the lens was flawed, because it’s a good value none of that should matter 🤦🏻‍♂️ It all matters. Otherwise there would only be one review category 😂

@AR-vf7vg 17 дней назад

@@WesPerry Second hand marked is full of better value then new ones in the "value sector". That is why every lens tests should not be disqualified because analyzing "to expensive gear". (Its just brakes my heart when people buy i.ex a battery powered drill in a nice take-away kit without or with 20% sale off at the supermaket ..when on the second hand market they can for the same money get a life-long lasting pro model for the same price. Just ake's.

@WesPerry 17 дней назад

@AR-vf7vg I can’t take into account second hand market because 1) it’s highly variable and the video has to stand on its own for years 2) every lens will end up there eventually anyway 3) second hand markets very greatly in pricing and availability from region to region (although msrp often varies between regions as well)
