Thank you

Have it for my Sony. Great lens.

It's IOS "Optical Image Stabilization". Not IBIS. After all the irrelevant tech talk it should be noted that this is a unique lens with a lot of character. Well worth the money.

Nice review

On e-bay right now these are readily available fron US $300-350. The new 16-50 must have a lot of these being traded in.

I guess you had a bad copy. Mine is crazy sharp at 1.4, even better than my xf 56.

I own the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-F4 for my Nikon D5500. You can get the same lens for Canon DSLR mounts. I bought my Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-F4 from MPB for 145 UK pounds

thanks, i was thinking about it but your objective review convinced me not to! Keep it uppppppp

THANK YOU for the very technical review!

hello! i'm thinking of getting this viltrox but I don't see anywhere on the internet any test shots paired with the fuji's 40mpx sensor. do you have any idea how it hold up? thank you in advance!

Great review. I was wondering how the 18mm on this lens compares to the 18mm f2, can’t find any videos on that.

Thank you for making these videos, I came across them when looking for more info about the Mitakon focal reducer (FD-FX). There isn't much info out there for this specific combination, so it's really useful. I am considering getting one of the adapters as I recently inherited some FD gear that has got me into film photography, and I already had some Fuji gear. This lens has also caught my interest, although I'm not sure how I feel about its size... Btw, your English accent is very good. If I wasn't concentrating I would have guessed that you were a native speaker!

Just picked this up for 600. Hopefully no issues, rip to whoever had to sell it to cash converters

This is a 24mm equivalent on full frame. A must for establishing shots.

bro, really good storytelling and the transtition on point.

nice transitions. impecable.

Nice video, bravo

Great street photography lens. I use this lens often on my X-E2. I mostly use it as a 15-30 wide angle zoom at f5.6-11, with a bit of short telephoto close at hand for when it’s once in a while called for. Love the size, weight, & image quality at wide angle settings.

Canon FD 75 - 200 generates the same aesthetic? I can't find this model. Thank you

I have seen so many tests on this lens and they all come to different conclusions. Its very strange.

For the money, this lens is amazing. DPReview TV compared it to the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 and it performed extremely well. I own a Japan-made copy and use it on an X-T2 and an X-T5. Highly recommended, especially for travel.

Fuji has the most internal zooms of any brand(?). These are all internal: 18-120 f/4 PZ, the new kit lens 16-50 f/2.8-4.8, 8-16mm f/2.8, the updated 10-24 f/4, and the 50-140 f/2.8. Some of them require a screw on protective filter to complete the sealed internal design. I would love a standard f/2.8 zoom with an all internal zoom to complete the f/2.8 internal trifecta.

You do an amazing job ! cheers

Compared to Sirui 23mm?

Do you recommend this lens for street art /graffiti?

A little softer? I've never heard it called that. It's one of the sharpest fuji lense I have!

One point that was very visible to me is the chromatic aberration, which only decreased significantly at f/5.6 and f/8. I am wrong? Both with the adapter with glass and without glass. The great advantage of enlarging the frame to close to 50mm with the Mitakon is really impressive. It's worth it, despite losing a little sharpness. If I can, I will buy the 2 adapters and use each one depending on the situation.

Thanks for the info, saludos desde Argentina!

Great video! Cheers

Well worth the 20€ I paid for this lens. Got some great shots, but it's sometimes hard to eliminate the chromatic aberration.

Nice lens except the zoom mechanism and that you cant tell which focal length youre on. Bought mine for around 140-150 €. Cant remember anymore.

I love this sense, ideal light weight street lens on an X-M1.

I’m sort of afraid to order it from Ali express as I haven’t heard the best things about the website yet I can’t find this lens anywhere else

It's made out of plastic, not metal.

At last some honest review! Thanks! I wish others KZbinrs were as transparent as You are. Looking for more of Your reviews, as Your content is all ready excellent 👌

Bro get that 16-55mm it’s a top notch lens. Thinking about getting this one so I’m covered 16-140mm pretty much 2.8 all the way through. 🥴

Great lens but I don't shoot indoors or Milky Way shots.

cool video thank you.

Cocus breathing is really bad on all focal legths

hello, ı want to use it on blackmagic pocket 4k and i dont have the focal reducer adapter. is there any BİG problem about it? it will be eq to 140-420 ı think. ı cant even think about...

this is super cool! does this work with just an adapter or does it have to be a speedbooster? also where can i find a 3d print of this? thanks :)

Why do you completely copied style of another blogger? This looks like a pathetic imitation

This Mitakon adapter seems to be nowhere to be found.

What an excellent no bs review! Good on you!!

I wonder if it behaves as well on xs10 or xt30II

Superb video thanks a lot. Especially the subtle music... Subscribed...

Did I just become your 500th subscriber? 😊

Algorithm starts spreading, keep the good work 🤘

I had lot of fun with that one, it was my first prime after the 18-55. Upgraded with the 75 f1.2, that beast is smght else ! (27 too, incredible) Do you plan to review the 13mm ? I also own it and while it's much better than the old trio, it's still suffer a little bit from CA, not as good the "pro" badge lens.

Great video and awesome new channel. -new fan/sub
