I'm an amateur photographer who recently invested in an X-T3 and the Viltrox 85mm. Currently that's actually my only lens but I'm having a lot of fun. This channel has already been super valuable to me and taught me a lot so I just wanted to say a big thank you. Btw. someone had fun with that intro.😄

Thor R. I’m so glad to hear that Thor!!! That’s AWESOME!!!! And yep, intro was a BLAST!!!!

@atsylor5549 2 года назад

I’m in the same exact position as you except one year later. Except my one lens is the Fuji 18-55mm and now I’m looking around for a 2nd lens.

Damn Chris, you really are pumping up the quality of your videos in a short span of time. I received my Fuji X-T3 the 25th as a Christmas gift and... as you're probably are expecting, I wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't discovered your channel. Thank you so much for this unbiased review.

thanks for the review, I'm a wildlife photographer who is getting my first dedicated portrait lens and I found your review very helpful. Its nice to know that it stacks up pretty favorable against a well acclaimed lens like the 90mm, my only other lens I use for portraits is a nifty fifty so I imagine this will blow my socks off!

I have been looking forward to this review, I bought this lens 6 months ago and it really has impressed me it feels and performs like a premium lens and for me it was wife approved when it came to price unlike the fuji .... so your great comparison review has made me feel even more contented with my purchase ..love your presentation style as always and looking forward to your channel growing in 2020...happy new year to you all.

I am loving the 3rd party lenses for my Fuji. Samyang 12mm, Mitakon 35mm. I use some adapted manual focus lenses too with great results. But when you want the best overall performance the Fuji lenses are tough to beat. Thanks for the detailed review. This lens looks wonderful for its purpose.

@edwardunger2731 4 года назад

Thank you for an entertaining and valuable review. FWIW this lens underexposes about 1/3rd stop compared to other Fuji lenses on my XP3 and about 2/3 stop compared to what my flash meter gives that is just right for my Nikon lenses. Looking at your photos I don't see this, maybe it's sample variation or a quirk of the XP3. Anyone else use this with the XP3? What's your experience? I am using the newest firmware for the lens as you indicated.

@mauistevebear 4 года назад

Well, to be honest, it isn't just a 'telephoto portrait lens' but many other things too. I use it for street photography for instance....It really does have more strings to it's bow and a truly great lens for the price. And even irrespective of the price....

@silklion7375 4 года назад

Almost every youtuber is talking about the autofocus and avout how smooth the focus ring is, but nobody is talking about how the focus by wire on manual focus performance is. Especially interesting for videographers. I know, a cine lens is always better with true manual focus but it doesnt hurt to talk about it. Especially since sharp, fast cine lenses are super expansive.

@crisbde9970 3 года назад

Hi Chris, very useful thanks again for sharing! I own one of these Viltrox firmware V1.03, I realize though that eye tracking may seem very accurate on the LCD/EVF - one sees this little square jumping around following your eye - but when you then shoot, it hardly really nails focus... actually I noticed this also with other Fuji lenses especially when the subject is moving back and forward ... but maybe it's just my XT3 ... :-/

@rezzoc91 Год назад

It's your xt3 updated with its firmware? My xt30 doesn't have that problem too much

@violian5 2 года назад

Having done a handful of corporate photoshoots (some as large as 300 people), I can tell you that a majority of people prefer pictures of themselve that aren't too sharp! So in that regards, perhaps the Viltrox being softer works better for portraiture especially if the person is older (e.g. lots of wrinkles on their skin). Some people find the sharpness of their photo super appalling - because the picture shows all of the finest imperfections on their face when viewing image on a large 22" monitor. When I show them the preview of their picutre onsite, they literally told me to just keep the money, and not send them any of the photos.

A bit late to the party here, but thought I would say you earned a sub with that intro. I think too sometimes, about 'what the F' when it comes to firmware updates. But then you took it way, way outside the box, didn't you? I dig outside the box stuff. Man, you went deep, it was good.

@barsasa671 3 года назад

Nice review. In my opinion fuji way better in this challange, dream lens. I'm looking positive to the viltrox, also ordered their 56mm 1.4 lens for my x-t4. But in this review, viltrox couldn't attract me with it's performance. I want to ask you a special question. I'm also planning to buy 50-140 xf lens for mid range zoom and portrait. Do you think that will i need 90mm fuji lens for portrait? I really like taking portraits.

@JungleCatImages 3 года назад

I've been saving for months to get this Viltrox, but now I'm thinking that life is too short to not get the Fuji. I love a good deal. I shoot a 15-45 (that I got for $110) instead of the brick bc I don't shoot zooms very often. I have the 18 f2 instead of the supposedly magical 16 1.4 bc I don't shoot wide that often. I always shot the AMAZING Canon 135 f2L when I had the 5D3, so anything less than the best would be a real disappointment
