I never thought I'd say this about a photography channel, but this channel is one of the funniest on channels on youtube.

A friend of mine bought his a7iv around the same time I bought my zve10 for a trip to Argentina, and by day 2 of the trip, he had grown incredibly jealous of Lil Doug and how small/portable it was, the versatility/ range of my tamron 18-200mm, and was almost ready to fight me when he saw the quality of the photos and realized I had spent a third on my setup than he had for his. Unless I go professional with my photography, APSC is for me.

“I’m never going to stop it down from 1.2” you’re so real for that 😭🤣

Yes, the viltrox 27mm and 75mm lenses are offering FF quality in terms of DOF, but they also bring with them the FF weight penalty. Nevertheless, good to know that you can stay with a APS-C setup while still getting full frame IQ and at a cheaper price as long as you don't mind the weight.

Mark I love your videos and your sense of humor, I'm happy to see your channel grow because I wanted more people to enjoy your content

Viltrox has been killing it!!!🎉🎉 Ty mark

[jntechreview]

I got the Viltrox 27mm f1.2 for my A6700 as soon as it released. Great sharpness, bokeh, focus, build quality + custom buttons & dials.
I like this lens so much that I'm considering replacing my Sigma 56mm f1.4 to a Viltrox 75mm f1.2
Now Viltrox needs to make some awesome zooms for APS-C and I'd be even happier

Finally you review this lens!!! It is a beast of a lens for sure.

[russellcameronthomas]

I have both 27mm and 75mm and use them most often on A6700. Mark's review is 100% spot on for both positives and negatives. LOVE the lens + camera combination.

I have been waiting for this video for ages

[lionheart]

Bought the 75mm f1.2 for X mount new on sale a few months back for like $100 USD off the regular price.

It is one of the absolute best photography deals I have seen, the lens is amazing for events.

If only Fuji's AF algorithm was on par I would have no doubts for using it on actual event jobs.

For now it will serve incredibly for portaiture.

[WanderingMonkHikes]

Yep, you’re right again! A person can’t go wrong with this lens. I have been using it for a couple of weeks with my Sony a6700. It’s my standard lens for nature landscape work. Thanks Mark!

[visceralpsyche]

I'm really happy to see more manufacturers incorporating aperture rings again with de-clicking options. Really good for video work! Thanks for the review - these weren't on my radar before but they certainly are now, if/when I need a modern APS-C prime lens :)

[andypate]

Again, thanks Mark!! Good info. FYI, you are my most trusted source of camera info. I’m a 60yo newbie. Anyway, thank you sir!

[dccoletrain]

Some people on YouTube act like cropped sensor cameras are only for beginners and you might as well buy the cheapest full frame… they get on my nerves.

[sginfdfw]

Absolutely love my Viltrox 27mm and 75mm f/1.2 lenses on my A6700 and A6600! They deliver tack-sharp images with amazing micro contrast and creamy bokeh. The only lens that tops them on bokeh for outdoor event photography is my Sony 200-600. Highly recommend!

[EverydayWatchGuy]

Wow, this 27mm lens seems like it would be the perfect studio setup on my FX30, for YouTube content. Thanks for the overview of this Viltrox lens!

[IntrovertAmateur]

These Viltrox are really amazing and if I had an interchangeable APSc body I would get that 27 1.2 immediately.
I ordered a 24mm 1.8 for my Nikon Zf for filming my talking head shots - crazy quality for the price.
Great video as always Mark! And enjoy Jamaica 😊
Send my regards to Noi if you meet him 🙃

[HobbiesHire]

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it.

[LegacyGuitars]

Great video Mark, I have booth of these lenses on Fuji x, and they are PRO at a great price point.
