I'm one of those that's been waiting for this lens for Z mount. Great review man. Looking forward to those astro vids of yours.

@adrianalfordphotography 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching. Next new moon and clear night and I'll be heading out with this lens for sure. Looking forward to it. Cheers! 🙏

Amazing. Rivaling even the 20mm 1.8 and 14-28 2.8 S. I have the 14-24 2.8 S but I do so much Astro that either this 16 or the 20 will be great. I am thinking the 16mm is better value.

@adrianalfordphotography 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching. All the lenses you mentioned are awesome and you can't go wrong with any of them. But yes, the Viltrox is outstanding value for money 🙏

Hi Adrian, wow, the corner sharpness is really crazy for that price 😯 Thank you for the video, buddy! 👍 Have a nice week ahead, Christian

@adrianalfordphotography 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching Christian! I will be getting out much more with this lens. I want to try some long exposure landscape. Have an awesome week buddy 🙏

@leod1671 2 месяца назад

Adrian, Excellent review, this lens seems to be one of the best options out there for ultra-wide lenses regardless of the system you are using. Your sharpness review really proves how good it actually is, to be as sharp as it is, corner to corner at F1.8 is amazing. I am thinking that when it pops up on Amazon, I may have to get one for myself. Thanks again my friend and have a good week.

@adrianalfordphotography 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much for watching my friend. I was genuinely shocked when I first pulled up those sharpness test shots. Bar that little vignetting at F1.8 this lens is just amazing! Look out astro here I come! Haha! Have a great week, cheers 🙏

How cool is that little window? It will be perfect for pitch black astro shooting. Great run down of the lens. That dome shot is my favourite - beautiful.

@adrianalfordphotography 2 месяца назад

Many thanks for watching 🙏👍

@ecobooster8298 23 дня назад

Can you please do a comparison between the Nikon z 20mm f1.8 and this Viltrox? This would be a great video too. I think many people are interested in this comparison. 👍

@bobbullethalf Месяц назад

Nikon Z camera system is will be great with this lens.

@martinhild Месяц назад

I would love to see example photos (stars/night photos) especially demonstrating how much coma the lens produces.

@adrianalfordphotography Месяц назад

I did make a video on this at the end of this one.

@OkwyUgonweze Месяц назад

All my viltrox lenses are excellent and this is coming from someone that has top of the line nikon native lenses.

@Shati-Videography 2 месяца назад

Hello, Very professional review on this one, what you have to say for using for video ?

@akhilsiby 2 месяца назад

Hi, it is a great review. I would like to know how does it compare with the nikon z 20mm f1.8s lens. In terms of Astrophotography which one is good and also for landscape photography which one you suggest?

@adrianalfordphotography 2 месяца назад

Thank you for watching. Both lenses are amazing, you can't go wrong with either. That being said, if I already owned the Nikon 20mm F1.8S I would stick with it. If I was buying either for the first time, I would buy the Viltrox, purely for the money saving and the quality you get. Personally I like having a wider focal length because I can crop in if I have to.

@garrettwalker3285 Месяц назад

@@adrianalfordphotography another great video. it's amazing how hard it is to chose a fast wide angle for the Z in 2024. this lens looks excellent, but i think i'd rather sacrifice a few degrees of width for the nikon quality and compatibility. i'll probably dig around the internet a bit more but think i'm sold on the 20mm.

@paulconnors2078 2 месяца назад

Hello Adrian, I just saw this lens and really appreciated this review. I do have a question, however. Since this lens seems to be a newer release than the Viltrox 20 mm f2.8 for Nikon, I was wondering if you had to choose between the two (but could only have one), which would you choose? As always, thank you for the continued high quality reviews.

@adrianalfordphotography 2 месяца назад

Both are good lenses for the price. I will be doing a comaprison video on both lenses. Stay tuned Paul, have a great weekend 🙏

@esspiefotografie4786 2 месяца назад

Hi Adrian, hope you are doing great. Before buying the 20mm 1.8g last year, I was considering Viltrox lenses. However, my gear shop recommended against Viltrox. I read also a couple of reviews in the net & most of them were not so positive about the sharpness. But it seems Viltrox has crossed the bridge. Would you recommend anything for f-mount full frame? Thanks for the short, but crisp analysis.

@adrianalfordphotography 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching. Viltrox have certainly come a long way. They keep getting better and better. In terms of F- mount you have a plethora of lenses to choose from. The F mount 20mm F1.8G lens is pretty good, so too the 14-24mm F2.8G lens.

@technodronesogxl9783 2 месяца назад

I wonder how this compares against the Laowa 10mm distortion f2.8.

@szeinner 2 месяца назад

How Is the infinity setting on this lens, when I try to use the one on my Nikon 24mm f1.8 it’s never truly in infinity focus so I have to constantly adjust the focus with it. And that can be difficult in pitch dark situations. Thanks

@adrianalfordphotography 2 месяца назад

I will be finding that out soon enough when I head out to do some astro. I will check this for you when making the video
