The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Viltrox AF 13mm f/1.4 Pros: Construction, sharpness in the center and at the edges already at f/1.4, color rendering comparable to Fujifilm lenses, no chromatic aberrations, bokeh, minimum focusing distance lower than declared, lightning-fast and effective AF even in low light situations, manual focusing accuracy, ease of firmware update via USB-C port, price. Cons: Nobody. Someone might object to the size, weight and no WR, but this lens has so many positive characteristics, that the rest can be safely left out. Opinion: Purchased to replace the already valid Samyang 12mm f/2, this lens proved to be an impressive improvement in every respect, leaving out only the compactness and weight, more contained in the Samy. The Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 is an exceptional lens, which theoretically could have been produced by Fujifilm with the same characteristics and marketed at a double list price. For construction, quality of materials, design, finishes, fonts used similar to Fuji, precision of the clicks of the opening ring and focus... it looks like an XF lens in all respects. Tested on X-T30: distortion and AC practically absent, very precise manual MAF, very fast and very quiet AF with the STM motor, which makes it even quieter than any other Fuji (it is not perceived even in the absence of environmental noises). Without having to reiterate all the strengths listed in the 'Pros', but also in relation to the 22cm minimum focus distance, I quietly hooked with the AF an object close to 18.5 cm. Sharp even at the edges already at full aperture, a blade between f/2 and f/5.6. To conclude, although I could dwell on all its characteristics ... not only in my opinion it is a clear improvement towards the Samyang (and the upgrade in this case is absolutely worth it!) and all the other Viltrox produced so far, but also towards the much acclaimed XF 16mm f/1.4 by Fujifilm. With this wide angle you can get closer to a subject practically the same centimeters, with a pleasant bokeh and without those annoying purple and CA fringes of the 16mm Fuji, which I had and which costs more than double. I have not yet tried to photograph starry night skies, but I have read excellent reviews even in that context: coma just mentioned at f / 1.4 and practically absent from f / 2 ... So not only for night photography and panoramas, but also applies to several other perspectives. In short: Viltrox has created a real masterpiece. sent on April 12, 2022 |
