Viltrox 13mm f1.4 Review: The BEST Fuji Ultra Wide Prime?!

great review. Did you end up buying this lens? curious if you use it for your own family photos?

Viltrox 13mm 1.4 or Fuji 18mm 1.4?

Can it resolve the resolution of the xt5?

Would love this in Canon EF-M

i am torned between 13mm and the 18mm f1.4? i dont have the budget for the later.. can this 13mm compensate the 18mm? or should i wait for viltrox 27mm f1.2? i know is very wide different of these lenses..

hey. curious does it make sounds when focusing during video? i am trying to avoid focus sounds like what i am experiencing with my 18mm f2

I stopped watching the moment you used the word "despise". I'm now going to click "don't recommend channel"

Great review and delivery.

Great video, Reggie! Could you give a few more comments about the AF performance in documentary photography situations? How confident is it when locking onto subjects, particularly in lower light situations? How's the hit rate? Have you done any continuous or face tracking with it? Appreciate your thoughts, Sir! Thanks in advance!

Hey Reggie, have you experience the very sharp flare issue of this lens? I had to return my newly purchased 13mm 1.4 viltrox and the replacement has the same issue. Any thoughts?

Be careful when purchasing this lens. There are variations in the image quality it can produce.

Despite the lens being brand new, I have found marks on the front of the lens straight out of the box.

Very likely, Chinese lens manufacturers don't impose stringent checks like those of their Japanese counterparts.

I have bought one 10 days ago for my XT4.
I very happy, and may be i will sell my camera Fuji 14mm f/2.8

Getting OEM lenses is just Not just paying “a few extra bucks”, but a extra few hundreds if not thousand.

There's tons of used 14 f2.8 at the same price point so I wouldn't really factor that.

Hi Reggie! concerning the tremors on the videos with the 13mm, without saying nonsense it comes from the internal stabilization of the device, on Fuji on XT5, you have to go to IQ menu, 4th page, "mount adapter setting" and manually enter the 13mm , this may solve the problem.
I did it on my 8mm fisheye and on my 12mm samyang and I no longer have any tremor with the stab.
Tell me if it works because I wanted to buy the 13mm viltrox ;)

Love this video so much! Great review

how is the C A on this lens, is it the same then their other lenses?

Great video. Quick question. I am thinking about buying a Fuji X-S10 (My first ever Fuji) and I am just confused about which lens to buy. My budget really only allows me to buy one lens - I take pictures/make videos at family events and do travel vlogging (for myself) and when it comes to pictures and the videos I make, I am a sucker for great background blur and good AF and do need a wider field of view as my travel vlogs are a lot of me talking to the camera. My options at the moment are:

- Fuji 16mm 1.4
- Fuji 14mm 2.8
- Fuji 16mm 2.8
- Viltrox 13mm 1.4

In your opinion, if I had to pick ONE for the stuff I do, which would you say would suit me best. Thank you in advance!

Hi Reggie!
Thanks for your video!
Am am having the 12 2.0 manual lens and the 16 1.4 but both have their strengths and I never take them both with me.
In other words, I love my 16 but simply miss the wider angle of the Samyang.
I have the possibility to switch my 16 1.4 with the 14 2.8 of someone else .. (but yeahh the 2.8 like you said..) but this video draw my attention
The Viltrox 13 1.4 might be the solution
Thanks to your video I have some faith this can work out for me
I'll try ordering it. Hope so! Have a good day!

God this video's production quality is awesome!

Is this compatible with sony zv e10? Thanks!

Was digital image stabilization turned on for vlog shots? Could this be the cause of the jelly effect?

the fact they included a metal lens hood is somehow the most surprising thing to me lmao

Hi did you shoot this video by xs10 ?!
Thanks

Lens quality is what matters, not if the camera manufacturer produced it. I’m curious how the Zeiss Touit 12mm 2.8 compares as they’re such a similar prime length..

Is this compatible with Canon Cameras? TIA.

SO COOL, SALAM DARI INDONESIA :)

Came for the ST vibes. Stayed for the lens review ❤

I really enjoy all the movement in your event photos with the subjects still in focus. Makes it feel like you're dancing with them. Is there any chance you would make a video with tips to achieve this look?

Just picked one up to replace the manual focus Rokinon 12mm f2, and did some side by side test shots outside at various apertures... the difference in fringing and aberrations is stark, they really did a nice job on this 13mm

This or the 16mm Sigma? 🤔

33m review would be excellent!

Hi, will this lens '”viltrox 13mm f1.4 '' become compatible with my Fujifilm X-S10?

Review the 50 1.0 next…but also follow up with the 33 1.4

Just found your videos and can’t believe you don’t have like hundreds of thousands of subs your video quality is SS tier 🔥🔥🔥

Just saw this lens perform on an X-H2S and the wobbles don’t happen with the new IBIS.

would you prefer Viltrox 13mm f1.4 or Samyang 12mm f2?

Nice Intro! Well done

Thanks. Nice job, as always.

Wider the lens, the more wobble for image stabe

I know you gave us the option of 50mm f1.0 or the 33mm f1.4 but what about the new tamron 17-70mm f2.8 constant aperture. Not many people have done reviews on this lens. And I know you might not have this lens. But reach out to tamron, maybe they will send you a copy to review. Would really like to see if that could be an all-in-one lens for weddings.

stranger things vibe

the wobble is because of the camera....

Review the 50 1.0 next…but also follow up with the 33 1.4

The Viltrox 13 & 85mm are both legit and Fuji level lenses. No hesitation on recommending either. I'd also say both the Sigma 16 and 56 are better than the Fuji options, especially the 16 (if you don't care about macro).

The Viltrox 13 looks like a great value.
Note: Samyang 12mm 2.0 is available in an AF version and is a better value yet.
For me (Sony user), the new Sony 11 1.8 is smaller, just as sharp, but more money.

Great vid. I want to hear about the 33mm!!

Turn off ibis when doing handheld video. Ibis is made for photos and slow videos. That voobly effect come from ibis.
