Cons:Grafting, image quality, copy variability (see review)
Opinion:Given the many positive reviews about this lens, I'm sure I received an unfortunate copy of the Viltrox 33 f/1.4; However, I leave the review to warn that you can run into a specimen that is not up to par and it is therefore good to buy from sellers who give the possibility to return the lens if it is not adequate. The construction is good: the lens turns out to be quite heavy and solid, with fluid rings (the aperture ring is declicked, not very practical); the autofocus is silent and appears sufficiently fast; the graft on Fuji X-T5 was instead very difficult, hard, and this was the first alarm bell. The disappointment was total when I found that the image quality was really painful: in the center no sharpness up to f/2.8-f/4, at the edges not even at smaller apertures. Not even remotely comparable with the Fuji 16-80 f/4 nor with the Fuji 27 f/2.8 (without bothering inappropriate comparisons with excellent lenses such as the Fuji 90), my copy was unusable at apertures lower than f/4-f/5.6, so I immediately returned it (an f/1.4 lens is bought to use it even at full aperture, otherwise you opt for less bright and more compact fixed ones). Of the numerous lenses owned, this was the only one to be totally unacceptable, probably the quality control is not the best and defective copies can happen. I replaced it with the Viltrox 35 f/1.7 Air, which is lighter and cheaper.
Pros:Mechanics, optics, maneuverability and even aesthetics in my humble opinion.
Cons:If I enlarge the letters of the PC keyboard photographed at f1.4 and start to blur forward, they are "outlined" with red and back with blue, (chromatic aberration?) By closing the aperture, already at f2 they disappear
Opinion:Even if it has few comments on the web, I immediately noticed, especially from the photos of beginners like me, that this lens brought out the potential it is capable of.. (Don't call it "glass, please). Imperceptible aberration, "macro" sharpness, pleasant blur nuances and stability thanks to the metal of which it is built. I posted my kitten in the dark with dilated pupils to show that she was in the dark and I was thrilled. The "shots" for the apertures are missing but what are they for if it can be driven by the camera body in A?
Pros:It's cheap, it's made of metal, lens hood included and well built, Silensic autofocus.
Cons:(Version for eos m) Absolutely unsharp at all apertures, difficulty in finding the focus even at smaller apertures and with the latest firmware update.
Opinion:I recently bought this lens in its version for eos-m, mounted on eos m6 it immediately proved to be not up to par, it made me lose a lot of shots (even if I hold down the shutter button the camera often does not shoot because it does not find the focus) then it has minor problems such as flare but this can be accepted on a cheap lens
Opinion:Bought used for 200 euros, I have to say that it is money well spent. At the edges the sharpness decreases but for me it is not a defect for such an optics, on the contrary it emphasizes the central part creating a bokeh all in all pleasant. At the level of its brand correspondents at a very competitive price. I think I'll get another little brother in the family.
Opinion:For the price it costs it's a little gem. Equivalent focal length of 50mm so a true classic. Sharp, lightweight and constructed all metal. Well-made metal lens hood. Lightning-fast autofocus comparable to home lenses. I use it on X-T4 so with the ibis you make up for the lack of stabilization. For those who are used to hearing the clicks of the aperture ring, it may be a small annoyance not to have this feedback, but you get used to it. It can be found used at great prices and for the quality it offers, once purchased, it deserves to be kept. I use it mainly for portraiture.
