The New Bokeh King for Fujifilm? Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 XF Initial Review

What is your favorite bokeh machine for Fujifilm XF?

Hello, can somebody please help me with one problem that I am having? I put the lens in aperture A mode and now i cant undo it. Its stucked in A mode. Is there some switch to unlock it?

Hi there, would you recommend it for an XT3 v2?

He's laughing at how it look on a xt4 and here i am considering this lens for my xt-30

Looks like a phenomenal lens, but… I would still prefer a classic 100-105mm ff equivalent for portraits, and would forego the f1.2 aperture for a smaller, lighter f1.4 or f1.8 lens. I got into Fuji in part to keep my gear small.

There’s an obvious gap someone could easily fill.

And I want to add that you can buy two viltrox 75 lens for the price of xf 90mm and 56mm

Unleash the AF speed? Pair it with xh2s and maybe the future e mount A6700. It changes everything.

Have you guys ever tried the 75mm 1.2 before leaving a comment? This pro lineup lens is entirely different than previous crappy viltrox lenses

(xh2s, xf 23 1.4 r lm wr, viltrox 75 1.2 pro owner)

Why isn’t this the best for manual focusing? I would like to use this for product videos, in a controlled environment, and need to rely on manual focus, will this lens be a good option? (I'm using an X-T4)

Been shooting with the 75mm for a couple of month and now the focus has been updated on both lens and xt5... Very reliable. Or as reliable as a Fuji lens in any case :)

I just got this lens. My only Fujifilm camera is the x-e4 so it does look a little odd but my Sony a7c always has a Tamron 35-150 f/2-2.8 on it so I’m used to it. 😂

But this Viltrox is amazing. Bang for your buck, this lens is tough to beat. It is super sharp and bokeh king for sure.

Already have the 56 WR. Better for indoor use IMO, and long enough to be useful outdoors. If the AF was faster on the Viltrox I’d consider it a must-buy. But if we’re talking outdoors, I’d rather have the 90mm f/2 with me. Or the 50-140. The 56 is a great lens and generally seems fast enough, but better autofocus adds a lot of versatility, if you ask me. Neither the 56 nor this 75 cut it in that sense, so I’d pick one and move on!

How can I used it for my Sony Camera? Can I buy an adapter?

If I didn’t already own the Fuji 80mm & 90mm lenses, then I would probably purchase the Viltrox. Thank you for your informative content that you share with your viewing audience. Best wishes, Ben!😊🙏

Have it, love it!

Neah...56 mm 1.2R is better.

Only £450 from Park Cameras in the UK. On pre-order.

Does these lens support on lumix g85?

Does 75mm f1.2 okay for FujiXA3? in terms of it's weight combination?

Im using the 56mm 1.4 right now. Maybe one day I will upgrade to this.

I would never recommend a viltrox lens to anyone.
My last Fuji lens from them just stopped working on its own with minimal use within 6 months and they refused to replace it and then just ignored my follow up emails.

😊The focusing motors seemed to just slowly drift out of alignment or something because the image became softer and softer until it became basically a soft focus lens and unusable for most forms of photography. It still “focuses” but the entire image is incredibly blurry regardless of aperture and focus distance. Again, their customer service is atrocious and build quality also, not great if a lens that largely sat in a protected camera bag could fail on its own after less than a year.

Cat eye bokeh 🤮

If it will be for sony apsc I will not switch))

Oem lenses are WAY overpriced. Kudos to Vilttox for bringing quality lenses at a reasonable price. Imagine how much Sony, Canon, Fuji would charge for this lens......

My iPhone 14 does better... and its cheap.. and its online... and i can upload right away... and i can edit right away...

Big love ❤

Had two Viltrox 85mm lenses on a Nikon Z7 II. Image quality was decent but not the best and autofocus was slow even compared to older nikon glass used with a ftz adapter. But both lenses died after 3-4 months and were only used a couple of times. Even checked them on a Nikon Z6 II but it was not showing F stops on the camera anymore and focus stopped working. Thank good I bought them at a store where retourning them was not an issue.

Would highly recommend to NOT buy glass from them, save a little more and get decent glass. Even resellling Nikon or Zeiss glass after a couple of years is easy and you won't lose to much of the investment.

1.8 FF equivalent is not what i call a bokeh beast...

I believe that this has Cat's Eye Bokey, which is considered unacceptable by all Bokians. Also mumble, mumble, transitions, mumble. BUT if I need to photograph a camera on a monopod, I'll go for this lens. TL;DR: The obsession with blur has gone off the tracks.

Yeah, I can get a Fuji 56 for $699 and while that does focus slower than some things, it's consistent. That lens also has fantastic rendering.
This one seems to have the triplet design swirly bokey, which I have a Helios 44 to cover. Also, the music was cringe.

Love the video - looks like a Viltrox may be in my future! What did you use for the tube lights in this one?

105 f1.4 | Real King

F1.2 wow, 75mm too, good price too

This lens will mach Nikonzfc .

How many aperature blades? I'm not impressed by the pointed oval bokeh bubbles around the center.

Loving these vids and I know how long it must take to put them together. Really keeps their rest of us informed on what's out there.

Quick Q thought: Do you think lenses like this could work well on the X-T1. The autofocus on the T1 is some of the worst I've used and was just wondering whether you reckon third party lenses would make it worse somehow?

unfortunately there is not for sony E-Mount 😥

jesus no portrait examples? a small camera on a stick wtf.

It costs only $550 because in full frame terms that's f1.8.

"Editied"?

Compared to market leading AF from Canon, this is just too mediocre…

the viltrox has it's own color tonne. It reminds me of these old nikon ais lens.

Hey...even at 105 f/1.8...for the price and optics...pretty sweet.

Pro as in JESUS CHRIST THAT IS HEAVY I would assume?

music is very annoying

please compare xt5 with sony camera at this price range. and which one good for. filmmaking. thank you

As independent as it can get but biased enough, just to be sure they'll keep sending goods for review in the future...

Lovely results! Great lens but the next in line for me would be an ultra wide one. 😅

The focus breathing is such a thing with the fuji though..😢

Looks awesome! I love Viltrox lenses. They are a great bang for your buck. I own two of them but I would love to buy this one too. Im thrilled about this new PRO line. Cant wait what they come up with next.

IT CLICKS
