Sigma and Viltrox in my opinion are knocking their lenses out of the ballpark. I have Viltrox and Sigma lenses for Leica, Nikon, Panasonic and Sony. They are getting better plus filling the areas where the camera companies are neglecting. It is a great time to be alive and enjoy the quality of using any equipment with a little hiccup here and there but overall pleasing. Cheers!

[awd-me]

2:16 is my favorate part of all reviews that you upload HAHAHA

[rishiraz]

I am seriously considering this lens for my Z30. Would pair well with the DX 24mm f/1.7, giving me a lightweight and compact 35 and 85 equivalent lens combo at a very affordable price.

[Your_Egyptian_Papi]

It’s quite amazing for the price in my opinion

[ChrisBrogan]

JUST (like last night) ordered the Fuji version of this. I think I'm cool with what you pointed out. :)

[hazonku]

Great review. I've just been using the stock 16-55mm on my a6100 for years now for live streaming. I've wanted to upgrade to something in the nifty fifty range but I was specifically waiting for Viltrox or somebody to drop something exactly like this. I don't NEED a crazy durable lens, I just need decent colors and contrast, a decent depth of field with acceptable bokeh, and preferably at an affordable price. This looks like it's right up my alley.

Hello arthur can you help me, what's better to get? Sony zve10mark1 or nikon z50? just wanna choose between these two. I will consider 75% of my choice based on your response

[JRVick]

Would like a 23mm or so, also 1.8 at around the same price now that would be nice.
Love your reviews. ❤

[anastasiospapatsoris]

It is a great lens, producing sharp and naturally looking images. Very impressed with the results I get from my Fujifilm X-T3, especially considering it cost me €160.

[huwkelvinmorgan]

I would go with the Sigma. great video as always thank you

[stefpix]

The quality is good enough for professional work. I have some Viltrox lenses. My main issue with them is the minimum focus distance that is generally not very close. I already have the Sigma 18-50 and the Tamron 17-70. Had this been f1.4 it would have been more tempting for low light situations.

[YuenTinYap]

I wonder why the price for emount is much higher than the other mounts? What about if compares to ttartisan 56mm f1. 8?

[Timotheoreviews]

I have a similar review of this lens, but I always like your reviews because it is always so detailed yet very easy to understand.

[the_rat_run]

I've the Viltrox 56mm 1.4, has the 1.7 improved on the old original? Great video, thanks.

[trokisyt]

whats the difference between viltrox 56mm F1.4 vs F1.7

[Kunal]

Dear Arthur. It was great to see you on Mark Bennett's channel.
Since you are THE Sony Apsc channel, I had a request to make of you. Could you please make a video of the ZVE10 2 with the 11mm f1.8 combo? How does the stabilisation work in dynamic active? Is it a real option for walk and talk kind of stuff and taking videos of kids running around?
Thanks man!

[tjevog]

On lenses with electronic focus rings, can you change the function of them? For example, if I'm using Aperature priority mode, can I change the focus ring to adjust the Aperature instead of manual focus? Likewise in Shutter priority, can I change it to Shutter speed?

[TheRealRyzen]

Should I grab the viltrox or save up for a year or so to get the sigma?

[EvanA.]

That lens hood is so short, it does not seem to actually shade the FOV of an APS-C 56mm focal length (28.7 degrees diagonal).

[ivegyattocomment]

I am in dilemma on getting this or the 40mm
