This is an excellent review of an interesting focal length. You do an outstanding job of illustrating your points with corresponding photos. Thanks for posting this!

The 75mm f1.2 feels and looks premium. The 27mm looks to be the same. The images are fantastic and can't tell from oem glass. I can see why Canon doesn't want 3rd party on their platform. Recent 3rd party releases from Viltrox, Sigma, Tamron etc are nearly as good as the oems for fraction of the cost.

I have been waiting for this lens for a long time. (I have the Viltrox 13mm and 75mm, both great lenses.) Great review and I feel lucky that there is a reveiw before the order of the lens starts. Nice photos of Bratislava.

[AndreiDimaReviews]

This looks like a great option for video, I hope they improve the AF before it is released. Nice review!

[ranziphotography]

viltron on good track, hope they come up with 105 / 135 glasses

[IJAY]

I dont have an hx2 or xt-5 but i have an xh2s and MAN i am so hyped for this lense. I love the 75mm and i hope that viltrox will keep on with their good work and mybe someday we get some "standart" vocal-lenght´s like a 56mm as a pro version :D

[GregorMima]

Wow F1.2. We need that on E-Mount 😊. My goto APS-C is 35mm-ish. Would be amazing.

[technodronesogxl]

Excellent review as always very precise and well laid out. Better thsn a 50 mil huh.

[Serenity_Soundscapess]

Thanx for the review! Viltrox should create some long prime. Something like 500mm f4 or f5.6. that would be amazing!

[stevenwaldstein]

Thank you for the video. Can’t wait to see this for the Sony E mount. I will pair it with my 75/1.2 Pro. These two with a flexible f/2.8 midrange zoom make an above average APS-C small ( with two heavy lenses) kit.

[johnnynighthawk]

That IQ is stupid good just like the 75mm.

[bigwolfie]

I was planning to buy the Sigma 30mm f1.4 for sony e mount, but now I'm going to wait for this new Viltrox lens. That also gives me more time to save money because this lens looks more expensive than the Sigma one.

Great choice for photoshoot locations :) Budmerice manor is my favorite

[jeroentune]

Love it ! great rewiew, cant wait for it !

[OMURFERAHCAN]

Has the autofocus performance for video improved after the latest firmware ? And I saw that exposure change is another problem for video in pal2tech review . I hope they fixed that too.

[fftvmcc]

I hope they release a pro 56mm lens. It's a shame fuji updated their 56 1.2, but kept the old jumpy AF motors.. while the 56 viltrox is decent, I still think a 56 1.2 with weather sealing and fast focusing motors will fill a huge gap in Fuji's line. I just ordered the Sigma 56 1.4 over the viltrox because of that rubber gasket, a little piece of mind goes a long way ^^

[par__m]

Both the 27 and 75 are on my wish list for sure.

[mikefoster]

An interesting lens. But it's weight is much closer to my heavy 16-55mm f2.8 than my lighter 33mm f1.4. I love how my 33mm tucks to my side during hand-carry, whereas I imagine the Viltrox lens would protrude just enough to feel like it might end up bashing into things (like my 16-55mm certainly does). And it's such a wide lens that I wonder what my street subjects might think if they saw it.

Those are the negatives, but it still looks VERY nice. And yeah its 40mm equivalent focal length seems to be gaining popularity. I can see the advantages, but I like how my 33mm's 50mm equivalent more convincingly achieves a portrait feel when needed. My inner idealist keeps telling me that the constraints of a 50mm equivalent can be turned into advantages (who needs lots of background context, eh!)

[ulimuller]

Viltrox is killing it. Pls lens god let them do a reasonably priced and small 28mm 1.8 (or 1.4😂) for all the full frame mounts

[obscurelines]

Sold. Wish it were wider (23mm) but otherwise sold.
