Is the Viltrox Pro AF 27mm F1.2 a Good Portrait Option? | Portrait Session on X-H2

That slide show in the end really doesn't help see what "that baby can produce", though, there's nothing new there that you didn't show earlier in the video.
Thanks fir the info, anyway!

Beautiful Subject🥰

The edit thing as the end to show the results is cool but you should just record your EVF and show them with the camera shutter sound like Jared Polin otherwise I have no time to understand what are you showing

Just what I was after. Lovely shots, good review. Thanks Dustin

Great video but the editing/transitions at the end during the montage was a little over the top.

❤

Nice pictures and location! The crop factor gives you a very nice close to 35mm full frame field of view.

Thank you for making this video! I was very curios how it performed for portraits. Appreciate the time and effort as always

For all us 28mm fans on full frame. I so so WISH this 27mm f1.2 was a full frame lens. Could you imagine a f1.2 essentially 28mm lens? Ok, guess I will look for a Sigma 28mm f1.4 but such a massive lens.

Viltrox has come a long way. Impressive you like the Viltrox over the Sigma and Fuji lens options. That speaks volumes.

Love the 27mm f1.2 awesome🎉 Viltrox is killing it lately

Hey Dustin, nice work as always. I thought I had decided (with difficulty) to skip this excellent lens, keep my 23mm LM WR and add the 33mm LM WR. But... you're 'not helping' that 🤣

The separation looks like photoshoped. The 3D pop is so extreme looks unreal, looks like iPhone. Don’t like it. GREAT review!!!

lovely photos, congratulations....is the camera used by the models a film camera? and were they actually taking photos of each other?

This or the 33mm 1.4 from Fuji for portraits?

I love your reviews, but the montage of images with the over the top editing to me is way too much. I can’t judge the image when it is transitioned like that.

Excellent! Any word on the Sony version?

It seems this lens is most impressive closer to the subjects. Much like the Fuji 23 1.4 WR. But I share your views on the bokeh with that lens... I actually preferred the old version in this regard.

I like in particular the swirly bokeh on some of your shots and those from others i have seen. That gives this lens something that is becoming rarer in the battle for sharpness above all else... character.

It's tempting to replace the 23 1.4 with this and to pair it with the 18 1.4 and a tele when the mood takes. I would probably still keep the 33 for shallower depth of field and a lighter carry though.

Did you find yourself missing the shallower depth of field a longer focal length would have given, like the 33 1.4 or 56mm 1.2?
