I have the Viltrox 23 1.4 and Fuji 23 f2. I need fast AF for video, I have to say both lens work great for fast AF, however... The Fuji f2 can do smooth pulls between subjects and Viltrox is just fast fast fast, even after playing with the settings. When you try to make Viltrox focus slow, it doesn't work very smoothly. It is a great lens though for the money and I plan on keeping both, Fuji f2 for small outdoor and everyday carry, Viltrox for low light or extra bokeh. For photography AF the Viltrox it's very fast and sufficient and I like the Fuji as well. The big difference is if you going for smooth video AF.

Then I saw that Viltrox's 23mm f1.4 and 56mm f1.4 are on sale for $260 each for prime day, which is very tempting compared to used Fujicrons for $300+ each. I know that they are similar in focal lengths but differ in other ways (extra stop of light, weather resistance, size, aperture ring, and etc). I know Fuji's f1.4 versions are magical, but I prefer to not spend that kind of money at the moment (plus with kids and dogs, I prefer faster AF). Any first hand thoughts and feedback on one vs the other?

I know you were looking more at IQ than anything, but the price of the Viltrox alone is mindblowing considering that Fuji is still charging south of $1K for their lens. At $300~, the Viltrox is neck and neck with the Fuji in many aspects and above in others (better center sharpness, metal lens hood, update-able firmware, etc). I don't think the Fuji is a recommended buy for any non-professional because of this. But I get it, for pros, yeah, you might want the Fuji due to all the things you mentioned.

Nice video. Reggie you are absolutely correct and i enjoy every bit of your video. This comparisons is very precise. To me the PROS: I love the vignetting its obvious for me that in post i vignette it so it dont bother me. That is a positive for me. Coming to sharpness 23 mm in crop sensor is more or less 35 mm. (For landscape i used 18 mm and below)So that is a portrait lens in my opinion. SO i like the sharpness in the center and don't care the corners in portrait. Bokeh is nor a problem they are almost the same in a common eyes. Auto focus i dont need that much as i do mostly manual. CONS: Cost is the factor but you cant beat a native lens. I shoot portraits in evening mostly in open when the sun is in its golden hours. Here is a battle of flares and lenses. The Viltrox is a competing lens while the Fujinon defends its place successfully. There the Viltrox is very poor. I am a post guy but could not get better with that photos from the viltrox. Chromatic aberrations are the thing of past for me to speak but this viltrox brought it back home. High end lenses got it too but negligible that is why nobody talk too much anymore. But i found very pronounce here shooting in a clear backgrounds in the open. Cost is a factor. This is a place called "you get what you pay for". In general the viltrox is equally a premium lens if you used in a sufficiently lit environment like indoors or studio where light are controlled. It is difficult to differentiate between the two. I used it with Godox 200pro and very happy with it.If photos are manually focused it is tact sharp. Once you nailed it you got a big smile. The only downside i got with this lens is that it cant take flares. That's most of it. Edit: Purple fringe i forgot. Purple fringes should not be a problem to any photographers as it is very very easy to correct in post. These days its not even a topic anymore. ( I rent the fuji from a friend to compare with the viltrox i got from the Amazon.)

Excellent review, though I wish you'd had more time to actually work with the glass to determine its more intimate eccentricities. I ordered the 33mm f/1.4 since I don't have a prime "nifty fifty". Ken Wheeler offered an interesting review on various chromatic aberrations inherent in the way the viltrox glass is manufactured (as I understand it, a very similar process to the Zeiss glass). That said, it seems like the Viltrox glass is a solid hybrid lens for both photography and video - particularly in as much that any chromatic aberrations can be corrected with a little extra post-production work - everything is a trade off. Very happy the third-party glass is available. Eventually, once I get my light setup where I want it, I'm certain I'll pick up the 23mm as well.

Talking bokeh , you said the Fuji will produce more bokeh cause you can focus closely?

Yeah getting closer to a subject will have a more pronounced shallow depth of field effect

The worst thing and the only biggest deal breaker about Viltrox 23mm is the uncontrolled chromatic aberration. It’s all over the picture like unicorn’s rainbow puke.
@janbonne4 жыл бұрын
The autofocus speed of the viltrox is what decides it all for me.
@youssefhamidi81523 жыл бұрын
The fuji is/has been overpriced. It should be $599 and the 23mm f2 should be at $399.

ZXun Lee I have a full review for the 23mm 1.4. The main differences between two lenses will be subtle differences. I also made this video during lockdown of the pandemic.

@@Reggiebphoto I meant that such almost invisible marginal differences are irrelevant to photographers. The Fuji 23mm cannot live up to its high price compared to the viltrox. Conclusion: Viltrox FTW

Again, I’m not making conclusions. I’m just offering observations and high res photos for download. How are you certain photographers don’t care about close focus distance?
