I did a test today using it on my Sony A7iii. If you did your research and read reviews and watched some videos on Youtube, this lens functions as reported. It focuses fairly fast and the images look sharp. I bought this primarily for video b roll and interviews and am very pleased with the performance. The video test was done in slog 2 and color graded in Premiere. To me, it looks as good as a sigma art 85mm. Be warned; it doesn't have an af/mf switch. It is fairly small for an 85mm, but sturdy.

it’s so worth it. Autofocus is good. Read more

The biggest gripe I have so far is the auto focus. My Sony AIV has eye tracking for both humans and animals and it keeps on tracking the nose of my dog hence it makes the eyes look more soft. I’ve tried to recover it from post but the photo I uploaded is the best the it can do. There is also a bad fringing when I took the fall colors of my tree and again it’s a little soft on the edges and struggling to focus. There are time when the focus is sharp with the photo of the green tree and my dog on the couch, when it’s sharp boy this lens hits the spot. Then the last shot with he jade on the pot that’s an ok one..it’s showing the pot as a background instead of the whole photo to be the subject and hence its a little soft for my liking. The last one is the video , well this is not for video, it jitters a lot even tho my camera has an image stabilization and there’s a tad bit of noise and I don’t know if that’s the motor trying to focus but it’s picking up on the video. All in all, it’s a hit or miss on photo and missed on video, but for the price….well, you get what you paid for. I say for budget lens this is one of the good buy out there but if your somewhat serious with your photo I’d say just a notch and pick up a Tamron variable lens and that should do the trick. This is not a rant but just an honest review of the lens and the photo will speak for itself. Read more

este lente es muy bueno, robusto, con materiales de primera, es aún mejor que el de Sony. Read more

I started my film making journey back in August of 2023, starting with a gimbal and a iPhone XR I have since bought a Sony FX30 + Tamron 11-20mm f2.8 lens to start with. Mounted on the DJI RS3 and I was off to the races! I used that setup for about 7 months and it was a darn good setup, but that f2.8 was holding back the FX30 by a lot. When it comes to real estate, lighting can fluctuate like crazy and having that f1.4 is amazing. Shooting in S-Log3 gives me an incredible amount of latitude to work with After spending a month looking for the next best 11mm-ish lens, I started to see a lot of people post about this and I had to try it. And I was not disappointed in anyway possible. I am not a photographer by any means but I dabble in it and man, that extra 2 stops of light is incredible. 2 weeks in and the lens is built extremely well, it feels like a quality product. Even with the FX30, Viltrox 13mm, matte-box, and etc. I can still easily balance it on my DJI RS3. Fantastic stuff. I love the way the aperture ring feels, some people would like some detents but it's not that bad IMO. The focus ring feels nice and smooth as well, but I honestly which it racked focus quicker. Still not that bad of a compromise! Pros: Bokeh, insanely beautiful Low chromatic aberrations Very low/no distortion Metal body, metal lens hood Cons: ??? Not free Not sealed to the camera body Overall, I am extremely pleased with this combo. I plan to buy a the Viltrox 27mm and 75mm f1.2 lenses in the future. Keep up the phenomenal work Viltrox!
