Viltrox 56mm F1.7 for Fujifilm X-Mount Review in Laos

[@pascalbasel]

How do you like the shots from the Viltrox 56mm F1.7? Let me know!

[@elyesa58]

Pascal, great video and great shots from laos! Really enjoyed this video, the value and your shots. Best regards from Berlin :)

[@saiyadethsitthilath8384]

Thank you for your coming for review Fujifilm in my hometown, I am only Fujifilm photographer here, congratulations good job and perfect video, hope to see you next occasion

[@Better.Beyond]

Golden hour in Laos hits different! Incredible beautiful shots! 😍 great review and a very decent lens. Best example what is possible with small and affordable (in comparison to FF or first party lenses) 🙏🏻

[@ivanyeow]

Can you please review the 35mm f1.7 as well? Thanks

[@dpedrosoliano]

forgot to tell u i bought this lens cause of your review. thank you Pascal! cheers from Malaysia!

[@JonathanAdami]

For travel, I'd go with the Sigma 18-55 ƒ/2.8, it seems like an all in one, light convenient lens to have around. 56mm as an only lens you're right, it's hard to react to things. Cool shots, I hate watching this video, it makes me wanna dump everything here and go back travelling. What do I do with all of them kids I made tho? hahaha Cheers, enjoy for me!

[@motorcycle-man]

Nice work brother. Looks great.

[@elyesa58]

The colors in the first shots are amazing! Did you used a filmsimulation? How much did you color graded the shots afterwards ?

[@pascalbasel]

Thanks, and yes that’s Look Designer by ColorLab used with Resolve Color Management and HDR output. Takes a bit of learning though as HDR makes it a bit tricky.

[@BartekCzelusniak]

Great shots and beautiful colors. Nice video. I have a question regarding x-S20 itself, have you updated the firmware in this camera already? If yes, do you facing with any AF issues after last update, because a lot of X-H2S users complaining on AF performance after last update and X-s20 received similar AF update so I am just curious whether I should update my X-S20 or wait till Fuji will provide a solution for AF issues.

[@pascalbasel]

I didn’t update yet, but can’t imagine that the update causes it. Maybe just wait to be save.

[@Princeton_James]

I updated my XS20. No downsides to the upgrade.

[@BartekCzelusniak]

@@Princeton_James ok, so no issues in AF-C mode in video and AF tracking working without any problems?

[@Oliver46233]

Nice video. How's this lens compared to the TTArtisan 56mm/f1.8 in terms of sharpness?

[@pascalbasel]

Never used the TTArtisan

[@zkdoveriepazardjik7]

The focus breathing looks very minimal as well, looks like a steal of a lens. Viltrox should release a PRO 56 as well, at either 1.2 or 1.4, since the fujinon 50's are using slow stepping focusing motors (slow and jumpy for video at least). I believe it will become a best seller!

[@pascalbasel]

Hopefully they will come soon

[@bermyuwu1802]

There's no pro I think, but there is the 56 f1.4

[@zkdoveriepazardjik7]

@@bermyuwu1802 yes, but it's not weather sealed, and it's not that great optically. If the at least match the 13mm's quality and add weather sealing it will be a winner.

[@bermyuwu1802]

@@zkdoveriepazardjik7 ohhh I see, yeah now that you mentioned it, there's no WR on it, differences are the extra ring and a lower aperture

[@EoraTed]

Excellent video and pics - would be great to compare this with the newly released TTArtisan AF 56mm f/1.8

[@fujiandeye]

I have this very fun to use , and lightweight

[@Obijew]

In my country with the lens I’m searching ❤ merci

[@Elyorito]

Hi Pascal! Astonishing review video ! May I know what's your setting about video? 4k or 6k? beside Flog2.

[@pascalbasel]

All in 4K

[@AlexGopez]

Did you shot everything in FLog? The colors are amazing!!

[@pascalbasel]

Yes, all FLOG2

[@kenguru2005]

Hi Pascal ... great video / review ... thanks a lot. Can you tell me: how's the "tap-to-track"-video-AF on the X-S20 working presuming that you have updated to the last fw? Thanks in advance. Greetings from Tübingen.

[@pascalbasel]

I didn’t test it yet. It’s actually rare that I use that, even with other cameras. Usually the normal tracking or single point af is all I need.

[@testyep5031]

Is all of this handheld?

[@pascalbasel]

Yes

[@mickimov]

amazing wow !

[@ryan2641-f2e]

I’ve been reading up on the differences between Viltrox and TTArtisan, and it’s tough to pick one! Viltrox seems safe for consistent quality, but I keep seeing mentions that TTArtisan’s rendering feels more expressive. I’m wondering if TTArtisan might be better for adding a bit of personality to my shots. Anyone with real-world experience with both?

[@pascalbasel]

Never used the TTArtisan

[@nassimchouia]

he is professional ❤

[@217661]

3:27 how is this shot possible on a 85mm equivalent?

[@pascalbasel]

Sorry, must have overlooked to change the title there. That’s a 16-35.

[@erikacapero1024]

Just a clarification. Is the viltrox is fixed to 56mm? and cannot be zoomed?

[@pascalbasel]

Yes

[@chrisjohnsonfilms]

Did you use gimbal?

[@pascalbasel]

No

[@Skaterman2413]

What was your shutter speed while filming these? And did you use an ND filter?

[@Elyorito]

Shutter speed should be 1/112 and for sure he used a ND filter

[@Elyorito]

But would be great to know which ND filter he used

[@pascalbasel]

Shutter was almost always at 4000 as I don’t have an nd filter that small. But I usually use VND filters to keep the shutter at 1/48 when I shoot in 24p…

[@Elyorito]

@@pascalbasel Any recommendation of VND for the S20?

[@cheesedrinkal]

hi i watched all your videos on the XS20 but i can't decide. i want to travel and bring the camera with me but can't decide if XS20 or A6700 will be better, i need good autofocus and handheld video image stabilization and it seems the A6700 is the best for this. but for pictures i like to shoot in SOOC with fuji film recipes can you give some advice or do a video compare the XS20 and A6700? the Fujifilm has a known problem where the IBIS is jumpy because it's optimized for pictures instead of videos

[@D88182]

I have had a Sony A6000 series, and ZV-E10. Took the jump to the X-S20 when it was released because I wanted to minimise my post processing. I couldn’t be happier to be honest with you. The Fujifilm until today (it’s been a year) I still play around with it everyday because it inspires me to use it. I couldn’t say the same for Sony for me personally. X-S20 is not perfect with its autofocusing, but I have no issues with it. I do most of my videos and photos SOOC because of the recipes.

[@Wildous]

main advantage sony have is for someone S-log and Weather Seal on body, fuji does not have WS. but fuji have great colour and open gate. i picked x-s20 but ill be keeping eye for sony a7cII later on my journey :D if u want good af on fuji u need good lens, best right now is 16-55 2.8. (idk if this is still true)

[@mariee_the_outlander]

I enjoyed watching. get more ideas on how to achieve nice videos.Thanks
