Viltrox Just Created the PERFECT Compact Lens for You | Viltrox 28mm F4.5 Sony E Mount

[@stkuj]

Viltrox is killing it with their 20 2.8, 40 2.5 and now this! You don't even need a body cap because this is IT! . I feel the images are vintage! All you do if focus and shoot!

This is what they should have made for s9 ffs

[@Iamtongue]

@@cyano3d right? 😭 I guess they just want to rush something to market and got that 😅

It's panasonic, it's trash anyway. Like the xiaomi of android

[@nigut10]

@@shzammpatapon9865 thats hard to say. If you ask me, the price for capabilities ratio on the s5ii is unmatched compared to an a7iv for example.

I immediately placed an order after seeing your video. I'm currently using the Voigtlander 27mm F2 with my Fuji bodies but have been looking for something super compact for my wife's A6400... I love the 40mm focal length and plan to use it for a pure point and shoot experience as I've found the rendering to be very pleasant. I haven't bought a single lens from a Chinese manufacturer as I never liked their approach of simply making cheaper versions of everything but this is definitely something new, genuine, and disruptive. If they make a 28mm f2.8 and a 18mm f2.8 autofocus with similar optical design for Fujifilm I'll be very happy..

[@Iamtongue]

I agree with you. I think more now than ever we need something compact. Hopefully Viltrox reads your comments and start working on it! :)

[@joshstorms1131]

Samayang/rokinon 35 f2.8. Marginally bigger, variable aperture.

[@neitanaleungchoi6552]

have you tried the oreo keks lens? i’m trying to figure it out on my xt2 😬

[@Iamtongue]

You mean the laowa cookie??? ahah

[@paothegig148]

i hope someone makes a vid about this lens on a crop sensor

[@Iamtongue]

It will be the same performance but crop sensored.

[@benoittissier58]

Did you mention sharpness in the sides/corners ? Anyway, the concept is great.

[@Jpantab]

What’s the flash you use at 6:23?

[@Iamtongue]

it's the ttartisans light. It looks like a film roll.

[@oregonduc]

I signed up for the campaign. Would replace my viltrox 20mm f2.8 since it’s smaller.

[@Iamtongue]

amazing!

[@JamesPaulGomez]

What’s that mini light on top

[@stefanusadrian8398]

Ttartisan led. Designed like film roll. Attached with magnet

[@stefanusadrian8398]

With fix aperture, do you mean we couldnt step down this lens to f5.6 or else?

[@RamonGuerrero89]

@@stefanusadrian8398 yes

[@absmin]

Basically, it's pinhole lens

[@woodiifoo]

@@stefanusadrian8398 No, the aperture is fixed at F4.5

[@PerspectGaming]

Does it work on a Sony a6700? I.e, an apsc camera?

[@Iamtongue]

Yes but you have to apply 1.5x crop

[@wingcreator]

28mm x 1.5 = 42mm

[@PerspectGaming]

@@wingcreator thanks. What would this mean practically for shooting pics/videos? Sorry, still new to this

[@derktuin8077]

I need one for my Sony a6700

[@Iamtongue]

Just be aware that you have to apply that 1.5 times crop so you’ll be getting something like a 40mm equivalent.

[@cyano3d]

@@derktuin8077 get the 27mm f2.8 instead

[@znhatgan8782]

@@derktuin8077 for apsc the SEL20 2.8 is much better

[@shutterbyifan7958]

ok cool, but why dont you use your phone instead? if the goal is compact. f4.5 fixed won't stand miles away from iphone nowadays. imo, fuji xt30/xt50 + 27mm f2 voigt/18mm f2 is a compact and stand miles away.

[@benjamindover4337]

Phones are a terrible control surface. And f4.5 is better for non-vlog uses than the ~f2 of phones or the osmo pocket type devices.

[@Iamtongue]

i like to hold a camera when im taking a photo.

[@nychsu]

Did you just compare a 1/1.3 inch sensor phone camera with a full frame set up and called it "won't stand miles away"? I have the Voigtlander 27mm F2 for my XH2 and XE4 - I constantly shoot at F5.6 - F8 for zone focusing and don't see how a couple of more stops can significantly change the difference between a full frame / APSC ILC and an iPhone. I also have the Sony RX0II which has a 1 inch sensor and a fixed f4 lens at 28mm equivalent, and it blows my iPhone 16 pro max main camera out of the water.
