    Is this lens slightly better than Sony Zeiss 24mm 1.8 for video recording In your opinion?

      I actually haven't reviewed either of those lenses yet. I have a request in to get a loaner of the 23mm F2 right now.

    Hi Dustin, just wondering how the Viltrox holds up against the Fujinon 23/f2?

    • @DustinAbbottTWI
      @DustinAbbottTWI  Před 3 lety +3

      I looked back at my tests, and at F2, both lenses are fairly similar. Stopped down to F4 or so, and I favored the Viltrox.

  • @robertcudlipp3426
    @robertcudlipp3426 Před rokem

    Another excellent, practical review thank you Dustin.
    I have been quite invested in the Fuji X series for a number of years, primarily due to tactile nature of the X series, commencing with the, still for me, excellent XT20, also have the XT2 and recently acquired the S10.
    It continues to disappoint that Fuji's simply continued to drop the ball so far as AF is concerned.
    As I have previously posted on numerous sites, the poor, at least to me, Fuji AF leads me to borrow a? 4/5 year old Sony a6400 release and combine it with the stellar Sigma 56 1.4, when taking head and people shots, not to mention children.
    It escapes why Fuji ,apparently, just refuses to upgrade the AF software?
    I have the " Gen " version of this lens. It's now a dated design and slow to focus and a little noisy.
    The new version of the native lens is by no means a budget purchase and I had been hoping this lens would be a little more sharply priced.
    I may see if I am able to rent a copy of the new Fuji lens, as this is a focal length I frequently use, in various formats. The f2 too version would be a wise choice for many, however, if necessary, I may well purchase the native version as there is a "certain pride of ownership " that comes with owning a high quality native lens.
    Yes, this lens certainly seems acceptable, however it may well be that I will either retain the existing copy of this lens, or save to purchase the new native version
    Thank you for sharing your views on a quality lens at a lower price point.

      I continue to hope that Fuji will makes strides in AF, as they do a lot of other things really well.

      I don't that it is sharper, but it is at the least similarly sharp, and with less distortion.

    Got it for my Fuji, it's been a godsend! Fuji's 1.4 version is to expensive and the f2 version is soft close-up.
    Really love this one and it is glued to my camera ever since!
