This video is much shorter than my usual review, I hope you would still enjoy it. Do you want to see this lens available for another lens mount? Which one?

Viltrox are creating quite amazing lens! I have the 85 1.8 for Nikon Z and the 20mm 1.8 manual, LOVE BOTH. Hope that this one came to Nikon Z mount soon! Seems great for astro, landscape, arquitecture.

They should make a switch to turn it off. You wouldn't want in a dark setting (like when shooting a performance) to have an LCD shining.

Very solid lens maker company emerges in front of us. I like the commitment of Viltrox to make quality lens once again, for the price this is a steal, also considering it's an AF lens , which add even bigger value to it. Great for vlogging too. I hope we will get the same lens on Z mount very soon. I will buy it instantly.

Nice review man. Seems like the lens has really nice optical performance and build quality. I just don't understand why Viltrox insists on ruining their design look with that ugly bright "red/orange" badging? Well, for the price, guess I will just have to live with it.

It is not the lightest lens. But if you like the 16mm focal length, there is no better option at the moment. Sony's 14mm is more compact and a bit lighter but it is too wide for vlogging in my opinion

I find the comparison to the 40mm/f1.8 pricing to a be a little odd. Better price comparison would have been the Sigma 16mm/f1.4. I think the purpose behind the 40mm and the 16mm are quite distinct.

Interesting how reviews differ on different channels, some report the opposite, like some reported poor AF, strong flare, strong over 3 stops vignetting, and visible LoCA.
@TheRealRichardWong
Жыл бұрын
I haven't really watch many other reviews of this lens, but I definitely notice quite a bit of vignetting at wide open. Flare control seems very decent to me though for a lens at this price point and I didn't have any autofocus issue at all. When I get a chance to do a proper review I will test all these things more.

@@TheRealRichardWong Yeah, people had AF issues, even some reported they had to turn the camera off and on to revive it. Some reported the LCD went dead. Some reported that the lens froze and didn't even react on turning the camera on and off. I think when the lens gets into the hands of thousands of people we'll hear lots of different stories.
