I bought the viltrox 35mm 1.2 Nikon for filmmaking and I noticed at smaller apertures f/4 and smaller the focusing keeps pulsating back and forth making the footage unusable. It’s not a smooth focus. It doesn’t have that problem at f/1.2.
Is the lens bad? I messaged Viltrox already waiting for their response.
I just got the viltrox 35mm 1.2 LAB and the focusing keeps pulsating non stop. Is that the camera or a bad lens? None of my other lens does that.
My first attempt at the milky way. 9mm at 2.8, 1600 ISO. Sony a6300. Quick edit from my phone. At the beach and don't have my computer. Will stack and edit when I'm off from my trip.
I am facing a issue where i am unable to change my aperture. If i change it to something other than the highest aperture (e.g. f/1.4 or f1.8) it chages for a slipt second then revert back to the lowest value the biggest aperture. It happened suddenly and now it continues with all my sony lens. Anyone faced this? Any solution?

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a new Viltrox 56mm f/1.2 Pro for my Sony A6700. When the lens is not powered, there is a large amount of movement inside. It feels like an internal lens element is completely loose and makes a pretty loud knocking sound when I gently tilt or move the lens.
As soon as I mount it on the camera and turn it on, the movement stops completely.
What makes me concerned is that I also own the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Pro from the same Pro series, and it doesn’t have this behavior at all. There is no noticeable internal movement or knocking sound when it’s off..
Has anyone else with the 56mm f/1.2 Pro experienced this? Is this normal for this lens, or should I request a replacement?

Managed to get some clear skies right before the moon rose two nights ago and figured I’d test out the new 35mm evo II.
The first image is an 18 shot stack with each image made up of 15s, iso 1600 and wide open at f1.8, stacked and edited in siril. The second image is a 36 shot panorama made up of photos at the same settings and the third photo is a 6 image panorama again at the same settings.
As I mainly do Astro this will mainly be focused on an Astro review but will cover some daytime testing as well. The first thing I notice is how much light this little lens lets in, I could physically see, in real time, the milky ways nebula on screen before I took a photo, never in my life have I experience that and it was pretty wicked to see.
Overall as an Astro lens it performs really well, it sits in a good spot of just wide enough to cover a good portion of the sky, but close enough in to not lose detail.
The images felt sharp even towards the edges, there were no artefacts, no coma, no fringing and over all the lens was light and felt easy to use. The aperture ring is incredibly smooth but not so smooth you’ll accidentally move it, the focus ring is the same. The one gripe I do have that may be changed in firmware updates is that when focusing to infinity you have to hit the absolute perfect sweet spot which is somewhere in the middle of the infinity range on the in camera focus range for my Sony a7 iii. I found to make sure the focus was correct I had to zoom to 11x digitally using my in camera focus magnifier to make sure the stars were sharp while focusing.
During the day the lens worked like an absolute dream, it’s autofocus was fast, and most importantly extremely quiet, there was some minor focus breathing but it was negligible, I found even at f4 images were incredibly sharp and presented some really nice colours. I really didn’t have any issues using it during the day and thought it performed extremely well.
The lens itself is a really great mix of lightweight and good build quality that sits right in between the air series lenses and the pro series lenses, in my honest opinion it is a go to prime lens for photographers of all walks of life.
I haven’t taken this lens off ever since I received it, and I have been bringing my S9 wherever I go more now. SOOC
Holding out for this since the 27mm Pro was my favourite all time lens on APSC. Has a release date been set? Weight been revealed?
Anyone use the 2x teleconverter? I see it's no longer on the Viltrox website for Sony.
A couple of days ago, the Mexico vs. Ecuador match took place, and as one of the creators selected for the **Frame the Game** campaign, I documented a bit of the atmosphere in my city before and during the match.
I used the Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.8 EVO XF on a Fujifilm X-S20, paired with the Viltrox Z3 Spark Flash.

Really excited for this tiny pancake and was wondering if there's any updates on the release date. I've seen a reel where someone was testing it at NAB and said mid July but seems very early.
I know people often value the Fuji cameras for their pocketability and portability and often shy away from bigger bulkier lenses, but I find myself not really caring about the size of my lens personally.
I just wanted to share some pics of my X-T30 III with some bigger lenses so people could get an idea of how they look and feel before buying it themselves. I will say that these lenses are definitely not "pocketable" - lord help us all if you have pants pockets that can contain these beasts lol. However, they are still portable, especially if you find a well made and fashionable (subjective I know) strap - I rock the Pgytech Air Neck Strap and I usually sling across my body instead and let my camera hang like a handbag.
Anyways, that enough on the lenses, time for the photos! I used a tripod and kept the position the same because I wanted to highlight the "level of zoom" for each of the lenses. I used 35mm (nifty-fifty in FF) as a starting point. I shot in manual mode and kept the aperture as wide as it could go and the ISO level locked at 1000 for consistency. I adjusted shutter speed as necessary but my subject was a good girl and didn't move which should keep the sharpness levels consistent. I shot all 4 photos in manual mode with a 0 for brightness and using the stock Classic Chrome film simulation with no flash.
Photos were edited in Canva to add the banner and Reddit has compression as well so these won't be perfect examples for "pixel peepers" also the X-T30III only shoots at 24MP - tempted to upgrade to an X-T50 but that a different topic lol. But from these photos, I do love the look of the Viltrox Pro lenses. I think they add a bit of warmth and the bokeh and details, especially in the 56mm, is beautiful. I have a few weddings coming up this year and I am very excited to see how it performs.
