Viltrox's awesome autofocus portrait lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras makes it way onto Nikon Z-mount! Let's check that it arrives on the system well as I'm sure it will.

Thumbnail says 72mm. Aside of that, I really hope that Nikon puts some more fire into their APS-C sector bodies with 3rd party entrants doing the work of filling out the lens lineup. I do quite like the form factor of the z-30 as an everyday carry cam, just needs a bit of a spec bump to keep up with the likes of A6700 and fuji.

Fixed - thanks

The equivalent of a 112mm F1.8 on full frame, at reasonnable price and weight. Well done viltrox !

@@photo-markus equivalence, on APS an F/1.2 lens will give the same DOF/subject isolation, and total light gathering as an F/1.8 lens on FF

@pierrevilley6675 10 месяцев назад

@@photo-markus As you know, a 75mm F/1.2 apsc Lens will offer the same depth of field and field of view as a 112 1.8 Lens on full frame (because of the crop Factor). But few people take into account that APSC cameras have two times less sensor area than their FF counterpart, which means 2 Times the noise. So to take that into account, you have to reduce the aperture of the APSC Lens by one full stop (as if it was two times slower). And 1.8 is one stop slower than 1.2. In this case, if i take a picture at 75mm 1/160s F/1.2 ISO 2000 with a Z50, i will have the same FOV, same DOF and same noise (basically the same image) as if i took it with my Z6 and a 112mm at 1/160s F/1.8 ISO 4000.

@dobrecristianro 8 месяцев назад

@@pierrevilley6675 You missed the physics class buddy. Stop rambling stupid and nonsense informations. "Noise" performance is not tied to the size of the sensor directly, but to the pixel density and technology of the imaging sensor. The a7RV and Sony A6700 will have identical "noise" performance, having similar pixel densities and sensor technologies. A lower pixel density camera like A7iV or even better, the Sony A9 will have indeed better "noise" performance than the a6700 because it has a lower pixel density sensor (pixels are bigger and gather more light on the a7IV and even bigger on the Sony A9).

@GordoFriman Год назад

I'm starting to see viltrox as a desirable lens manufacturer.... but in this case I don't dare buying an apsc lens for my z6, but is really tempting for video...

I think when it comes to third party lenses Viltrox are one of the best out there at the moment!

@Wabajak13 Год назад

I really enjoy the Rokinon 75 on crop, but that hugely benefits from the small size and AF speed. This looks like a killer long portrait choice, but for events and travel I'll stick to the lighter kit.

@amermeleitor Год назад

I would love Canon open its mount to see Viltrox on the R10

@IanHobday Год назад

Canon will never willingly open RF. They've always been the most anti-third-party and the most active at breaking compatibility. If 3rd party lenses are important to you then there is only one big brand to buy into.

@amermeleitor Год назад

@@IanHobday 😥😥😥😥😥😥 I think sooner or later Canon would allow third party lenses. If not, then Sony, Nikon and Fuji will gain market against Canon

@IanHobday Год назад

@@amermeleitor Nikon is keeping a tight leash on the major third party makers and seems to be charging a royalty for their mount licenses. Fuji is an option if you only ever want APS-C. Otherwise it's Sony, really.

@ritrattoaziendale Год назад

@@IanHobday ...so anti-third-party that the Sigma Art's benefit from in camera correction on DSLR when they were released, and the correction are available even today on the R cameras 🙂 But as a Canon user yes, I really want third party RF lenses. Either i get them in the next 12-18 months max, or I'm ready to switch to Sony without looking back (and I used only Canon since film days, so I'm really into the Canon brand...but there's a limit to my patience).

Great to see some new lenses for nikon. They need these apsc lenses to make their smaller cameras viable.

@@AugmentedGravity no third party support lenses and their best apsc lenses are pretty basic. I love canon and i have the eos r but the full frame rf lenses are just too expensive and if i want to ‘downgrade’ and get maybe the r10 or r7, the ‘budget friendly’ rf lenses are not even close to the new viltrox pro lenses and their 13mm.

@holgerokorn3164 Год назад

Hi Chris, It's the wrong video for my question, but I hope you read the message. The APS-C part is missing at your Viltrox 16mm video. Or test in crop mode on the Sony 7 R III would be nice. I think this test is very important because 24mm is also an interesting focal length. I hope for another Viltrox 75 1.2 test. A comparison between Viltrox75, Sigma 65 2.0 and Samyang 75 1.8 would be nice. I think the Sigma 65 actually makes more sense because it's smaller, lighter and, as a full-frame lens, can also be used on APSC. But how does the image quality compare at APS-C body ? From Aperture 2 to 8. Thanks and greetings from Munich.

@gabewrsewell Год назад

oh wow, great work viltrox! also, is it possible to override the firmware and shoot with the full sensor area, despite the image circle not meant to cover that? if you’re willing to shoot square photos, you can get more out of an APS-C lens in terms of image area on the sensor, and therefore light collection, noise performance, and background blur, by choosing the largest square area that can fit in the image circle you deem acceptable, as opposed to a 3:2 rectangle. Judging by those surprisingly good image corners, it looks like the lens has image circle to spare :)

If only Nikon Z bodies let you disable the DX crop, like Nikon's F-mount bodies did.

@domm6812 Год назад

Nikon desperately needs more native (adapter not required) 3rd party lenses for the Z system. Slightly disappointing its a crop sensor lens, but on the other hand it makes me hopeful that more Viltrox lenses like this will be released for full frame Nikon.

@@Cisssma on my D780 and D6 it’s possible to force DX lenses in FX mode and some are very usable with only little vignetting or even no vignetting depending on the lens. I wondered if the Viltrox 75mm 1.2 and the Viltrox 27mm 1.2 were able to cover a bit more in FX mode on my Z8

@FeRoOOo71 Год назад

@hoatd1993 Год назад

Because the lens is for APS-C

@christopherfrost Год назад

As I said in the review, you're forced to. The lens only offers a DX (crop) image, it doesn't stretch to full-frame

@stevesvanderpool8653 Год назад

I think your Sony focus experience is not that good because you're using the A7R3. Using this on my A7R5 vs. A73 is night and day. It's as if I'm using a lens with a different motor that's how much better it is on the A7R5.

@christopherfrost Год назад

No, I disagree. The a7R III is very fast - just look at the way it performed in my test of the new Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II and many other fast AF lenses
