Congratulations on your growing family!

In my opinion, Viltrox should have targeted this lens to a segment of the market that was untapped (light and small). There are none of those lenses; we didn't need another gigantic 135mm lens that doesn't separate itself from the competitors. I bought the Rokinon 135 f/1.8 when it was on-sale for $599 US because there are no APS-C oriented lenses and it was the cheapest option that had excellent image quality.

Congratulations, that was a really creative way of announcement ❤

[Marlonk]

I loved the 135mm and will consider it. And on the other hand: WHAAAT! A third child?! Congrats, Arthur and family. I've been following since the Japan days, a while before the kids.

[greysuit]

Side note at 4:40 ish I believe your Texas slipped out. 😂😂😂

[ElReySuprme]

What’s crazy is if you been watching Arthur for a long time you see his family growing along the years. This is what cameras are for in the family. Congratulations on the third!!

Third-party lenses are really giving photographers more creative options. Between Viltrox and TTArtisan, it’s hard to go wrong.

Another great video. This looks like another winner from Viltrox. I have the Viltrox 85mm f1.8 FE and it's my go-to portrait lens. I think 135mm would work very well outdoors, but inside the house, 85mm is more useable.

[AWAShowme]

Thanks for the content. 135 is an awesome focal length. I can take great event pictures in low light while maintaining distance from the subject. I love the Samyang. I would be nervous that the screen would stop working.

[HagaishiSama]

Awesome video as always!

I love the 135mm focal length. I use my Sony FE 90mm F2.8 on my a6400/a6700 to get that same effect and it works so well

Sigma 105mm f1.4 art + aps-c x1.5 = 157mm f2 very beautiful .. test 🙏🏼

I used to use a 135mm for portraits back in the 35mm film days, that one looks like a very nice lens, but, sadly, I am APS-C so can just admire it! Great video, Arthur.

[neutrinostorm]

Much more important than the lens - you will become a 3x dad :-) Congratulations to you and your family! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything will go well!

[PatrickWithCamera]

Crazy optics there! But still, for me 75/1.2 is the most impressive lens that viltrox made.

[marc_likes_marketing]

congrats man....on getting this lens! jk congrats on the growing family!

[LS-dglh]

In Apsc will be a 200mm with F1.8, interesting for dark places.

[apricanephoto]

I'm unsure if 135 is better than 85 for portrait, both definitely have their advantages, but even for this price there's no way I'd buy the Viltrox over the Samyang (which I currently own).

And congrats btw ;)

[DigiDriftZone]

The TTArtisan 75mm f/2 has become my favourite lens lately for how small and light it is, any FE options for a compact 135mm? - maybe an f/2.8 one or something? - This Viltrox is great, but it's so huge!

[Oliver]

The quality is there, but for this price, it feels close to what you’d pay for a used Sony GM lens. Would love to see TTArtisan offer a more budget-friendly tele lens.

[MrAquarius]

When will be available for Fuji mount? 😊
