The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Great sharpness already at maximum aperture, excellent color management with delicate, fantastic shades, beautiful focal length cut that obviously favors the dilation of the spaces of 27 mm
Cons:Lens hood that is easy to remove
Opinion:Recently purchased, I am a Fujifilm customer, and I must confess that I appreciate it more than the legendary 56 f. 1.2 that I use with great satisfaction. I didn't think Viltrox would reach these levels, really good. The focal length of 40 mmm equivalent on FF gives the right cut for close-ups set with a soft and progressive blur. For me one of the best lenses in the APSC landscape.
Pros:practically everything if you evaluate it as a lens for heavy work, but not too much...
Cons:Maybe lens hood not clicked on the stroke end, aperture ring a bit soft and difficulty with screw insertion of filters
Opinion:Excellent optics all around if you have any idea of getting a heavy lens for pro or similar work. It is obvious that there is the compromise with the Fuji 56 1.2, in my opinion in extreme behaviors such as flickering and heavy flare but honestly it did not happen to me outside the personal tests out of curiosity. Obviously it is heavy, bulky and on pro bodies like XH2/S it makes itself felt after a while but it really deserves a lot, I used it for street and video and I must say that in the latter it really surprised in terms of quality but as AF it does not match very well with Fuji but maybe it is just my sample. Rated 10/10 like the whole Pro line 1.2
Opinion:Really fantastic optics, maybe a little heavy but it's so fun to use that the weight takes a back seat. I particularly appreciated the focal length of 27mm which, in my opinion, is better than the classic 35mm in terms of angle of view. I've noticed that manual focus ring tends to be a bit stiff, I don't know if it's a defect of my lens or it's just like that. In any case, it is a pro optic at an objectively affordable price for the build quality.
Opinion:It is a professional perspective, I would dare to say. The features can be seen in detail on this site. I confirm what others have said in full, including the only "defects" which are possibly size and weight. In fact it is a lens that needs pro camera body, xt1/5 xh1.... I recommend it to those who want or need brightness and high quality for professional shots. If I can, I give it away only for the weight having a problem with my hands, otherwise it would be for life!
Pros:Very interesting perspective in a work context
Cons:Perhaps exaggerated dimensions on non-pro bodies
Opinion:Nice lens, I used it in a work context and it did not disappoint me. A focal length that becomes about 40mm on full frame, perfect and honestly, in my opinion, better than 35mm as an angle of view. Very usable at f1.2, you close the aperture only to increase the pdc, not for lack of sharpness or contrast. The dimensions are very important, I found it uncomfortable to the limits of unusable on xe and xpro bodies, while excellent on xt5 thanks to its revised ergonomics. To be evaluated therefore, honestly I would not consider it for amateur use, given the inconvenience in use. For general use, the size of a 33 1.4, for example, is still a huge advantage. For a professional, however, it can be a definitive solution to shoot 90% of an event, which honestly happened to me. Too bad then for the ridiculous rendering of Fuji in low light conditions that made me abandon the system. If I had stayed, however, without a doubt this viltrox, perhaps together with the 56 1.2, would have been my work combination. Too bad that its "companion" is the 75 1.2, decidedly long on aps-c for professional use.
