POV Street Photography in Sydney | Testing the VILTROX 85mm 1.8

[@Mr.julian]

Killed it with the sunset ones man oooooft

[@TKNORTH]

Ayy thanks my dude! Right when my osmo died too haha

[@MitchLally]

Sick vid bro love the vlog style!

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks my bro! Appreciate it!

[@Seriously_its_Tom]

Awesome video. I love the lens and the editing. Do you have a favorite preset what you tend to use? I am not sure which preset pack I want to buy!

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much!!! I pretty much mostly use my Cinematik Presets these days :) definitely my favourites. Out of that pack specifically I use the Komorebi preset the most Id say! Hope that’s helpful for you 😁

[@Dome36c]

Hey, I own and love this lens especially for that price. However I wonder if you noticed a dark shadow coming in from the bottom of the frame, when shooting 1/2000 or higher? the faster the shutter the darker it gets. using on an EOS R.

[@Seriously_its_Tom]

The spread in different production charges is massive with this lens. Go to your reseller and try to trade it for another one and the vignetting could be completely gone. :)

[@Benjaminn]

Just ordered this!! I’m so excited. My first 85mm lens even though I’ve been shooting for like 8 years now. The 18-35mm 1.8 and 50 1.2 have been my main lenses. As well as some telephoto lenses (which did hit 85mm but at a higher f stop). Also. Amazing shots lol. It’s like you’re not even trying and getting things you’d see in magazines. Fantastic.

[@TKNORTH]

Thank you so much dude! Appreciate it so much. Enjoy the lens too! So great for the price. Strangely enough I didn't have an 85 prime for ages as well. But such a great focal length to have, both street like this and portraits! ✌️

[@sureshlokre4742]

I did too!

[@HikingWithMartin]

Another great review what camera and lens are You vlogging with and doing the b roll with? Thanks

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much again! At the start there I was using an R5 with the Sigma 24mm 1.4 - sometimes it's just not quite wide enough for vlogging though! I believe the b-roll was the same setup

[@itizwil]

Awesome video TK 👏 very soothing in a way hahah

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much man! So glad you enjoyed 🙏

[@elliotresnick5433]

Nice video bro and I just picked up your presets. Really like your shooting style and would like to learn how you setup menu, buttons/dial settings for stills and video on the EOS R6.

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much!! Hope you enjoy them, let me know if you have any questions! In terms of my setup I might have to make a video on this!

[@elliotresnick5433]

@@TKNORTH I wish you would bro!

[@ubbeats98]

I'm a Sony user and I'd like to know if that lovely image render comes from the lens or the camera, feels like I've been missing on the new Canons

[@MrPanthers23]

Nice video. It's so great to see more 3rd party lenses. I hope a company makes a 35 1.4 lens soon.

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much! Agree, it's always interesting to see new third party lenses coming out! Especially RF mount and producing decent results!

[@MrPanthers23]

@@TKNORTH partly bc of you, I've got the rf 50 1.2. Love that lens. Splurged on that one, went for the Samyang rf 1.4 85mm for a more budget friendly lens.

[@TKNORTH]

@@MrPanthers23 nice one!! It’s definitely a splurge isn’t it. Hard to justify the price until you use it, then I was like wow this lens is so good haha but always good to have a few cheaper options too!

[@scottstramyk]

Keen to see your thoughts on the speed of the AF and how accurate it is. Shot with other third party 85 lenses and love the size and weight but the AF is subpar

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks man! Overall at this pice point its pretty impressive hey!

[@scottstramyk]

Maybe it’s time we have a shoot off. With two x third party RF 85mm lenses..

[@TKNORTH]

@@scottstramyk so down for that!!

[@logashwars5476]

how good the lens is for videos

[@zecchinon]

wow, beautiful job

[@peace-doctor]

will this lens work in 2024 to r5

[@richieanker]

Holy moly mate, so so good👍

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much mate! Glad you enjoyed it 🤙

[@adarshjaiswal6307]

This lence propper work to canon r8??

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

May I ask what 35mm Tamron you used in a collard video Co.paring the r6 and the r5. There are two 35 mm tamrons and I'm curios on trying their 35 out. Usually shoot with sigma but they are heavy and wanted a lighter lens if possible. Its for a R6 also. Don't want to purchase their rf lenses to expensive.

[@TKNORTH]

Hey there! Hmm I only own the sigma 35 prime? Which video was it??

[@bly-maninthedark4805]

awesome first 30s this video what lens do you use?

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much! Vlogged using the Sigma 24mm 1.4 lens at the start!

[@bly-maninthedark4805]

@@TKNORTH thank you bro tyvm

[@DWDye1]

Hey Do your presets come with an option for uploading into IPad Lightroom? I don’t have Lightroom desktop and do all my editing on an iPad Pro.

[@TKNORTH]

Hey! Yep they come with DNG files as well as the XMP files. The DNG files you can load straight onto mobile / tablets!

[@DWDye1]

@@TKNORTH thanks, bought it!

[@etchd_]

What did you get for Xmas. I'd like a pov of that please

[@TKNORTH]

Haha didn’t really do presents so that might be a pretty boring one haha paid for a wedding and a honeymoon instead 🤣

[@ethanjohng]

are you on manual or automatic focus?

[@TKNORTH]

All autofocus on this!!! I tend to use the auto-subject/auto-eye setting a lot, then any situation it doesn't find the subject I tend to click on the screen to tap focus. Find this works well for me shooting street. Quick and easy.

[@Tom-ff8cv]

i'm between viltrox vs canon rf 80mm 2.0 ... torn

[@TKNORTH]

Had a few mention this to me! I haven’t tried the canon so can’t really comment too much. But can definitely say the viltrox surprised me. Really happy with it! Depends how much you might want that 1.8 too I guess

[@JulianLallo]

R6? Did you buy one?

[@TKNORTH]

Yeh man! Had it for a little while now as my second. Sold the R back in lockdown then picked up a second hand R6 a little after we came out!

[@JulianLallo]

I’ve been contemplating the same move. Didn’t think to look second hand though 👌🏼 @@TKNORTH

[@TKNORTH]

@@JulianLallo it’s such a nice combo man! I got lucky knowing someone selling, but should be a few around hopefully!

[@sureshlokre4742]

Am alway curious when i watch street photographers taking random peoples pictures they don’t mind when you shoot em?

[@TKNORTH]

Good question! I think for me it depends a bit how you go about it. I can’t say I ever have any issues but if it did arise I’d happily delete the photo in front of them and move on 👍🏼 here is Aus it’s totally legal but I know some countries have slightly different laws on taking photos in the streets too

[@maxkrde]

sadly it is completly forbidden here in Germany ... so i need to travel more!

[@musicaltweaks1321]

I think it matters more on who is handling the camera not the lens ;-)

[@TKNORTH]

Haha true true it does!!!! But not all lenses are created equal 😜

[@RWAquariumPages]

Such a true and real comment. Love it
