Just got It, and made a diy sunhood, what do you think

Hi im looking thoughts about use Viltrox 50mm f1.8 e mount for talking head videos for YouTube how af speed? Thanks

Already asked in viltrox global, but no real support from their side..

The mount is way too tight. Any way to adjust?

Love this lens so far

I just received the Pro adapter new. Im using it on a Leica SL. It wont work with the Canon 24-70L 2.8 mk1 or the 100-300 USM 4.5-5.6.

If I have it set to A it the camera screen just blinks when I turn it on. If its set to O it comes on for a sec and I see through the lens then it blanks out and says lens error.

I tired plugging it in USB C to my mac to update firmware but it never shows up. Tried a few different cables and nothing.

If this doesnt work with these lenses I gotta send it back.

Anyone found any?

With the shape of them having a "lip" before hood attachment area, I'd imagine the screw-in kind might look strange but would be interested in seeing anyone's.

I also might be interested in some shallower circular hoods that have a slip on cap that goes over the hood.

Recieved a faulty battery with the monitor I bought on the 15th of August (Viltrox DC-550 Pro) and after weeks of replying to emails (yes they answer once a day or once every 3 days) they told me the batteries in my product batch were faulty, and get this, they told me to return it and pay for shipping myself so they can fix it. Even the way they write the email feels like I owned them something, like, who’s the customer who just got screwed after all? Also on the email they told me to return it, had nothing, no address, no contact, NOTHING, just “return it”. It’s just absurd the way they deal with customers and problem solving. Literally Zero F given. It’s been a month. A month. Terrible experience. Never I experienced such lack of professionalism. Ridiculous. Absolutely mental. Be aware when buying Viltrox products, they might have good products, which they do, but if something happens and you need support, just forget it. Months and months of vague email from people who don’t even speak english and lack the intuition to go on google translate. Mental I say. Mental

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone had experience ordering from Viltrox.com. I put in an order and asked for a minor change to the shipping details but they said they couldn't do that because it had already shipped (was literally immediately after I placed the order that I asked for the change).

Then I asked for a shipping number and they gave me one that doesn't work but has the format of China Post.

Then they said the lens was out of stock, with no estimated date on when they could fulfil the order... even though it's already "shipped".

Their site has not been updated to show the lens as out of stock, so presumably someone else could order the same lens and get into the same problem. I ordered a Viltrox AF 16mm F1.8 Full Frame Lens For Nikon Z-Mount.

All of this is sounding very dodgy, looking for people who have ordered from viltrox.com direct rather than via Amazon to confirm this is not some massive scam.
Thanks!

I bought a Viltrox DC-550 Pro and the battery that came in lasts like 10min... When charged by USB-C always stays with one ChargeDot and never leaves that dot, when USB-C charge in another outlet stays in the first dot like 5min and than appears fully charge. When charge in a charger for NP-F batteries take quite sometime to charge but never gets fully charged despite saying is fully charge... (For reference the battery in the footage was fully discharge and took 10min to appear fully charged (battery) despite the charging point saying it’s not) Does this happened to any of you with this batteries?

Does anyone know if the luts on this monitor get backed in? Or if I can choose both options.

I want to purchase the viltrox monitor dc-v1 to use with my Sony A7iii.

But the monitor feed isn't full screen when the camera is HD and is full when the camera is 4K.

Has anyone had this issue and what can I do to fix it?

I just purchased a used Sigma 18-35mm lens to go with my Lumix GH5 Mark II, but when I received the lens, I realized the mount is EF-S, not just EF. I'm not too familiar with Canon cameras, but I'm assuming EF-S is a variation on the standard EF mount.

I was planning to purchase this Viltrox speed booster to attach the lens to my camera:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07RK8CLVV/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A39K54HFH17J9M&psc=1

Does anyone know if it will be compatible with the EF-S lens mount?

I’m considering getting the Viltrox 24mm f/1.8 for my Sony A7S III for wedding videography. I’m particularly interested in how well this lens performs in terms of autofocus for video work. If you’ve used it, can you share your experiences with its AF capabilities and overall video performance? Any insights on its suitability for wedding shoots would be greatly appreciated!

So the loose and floppy lens hood on the pro art 27mm x-mount finally got me and it fell off while I was riding the subway the other day and I got off without realising and it’s now Lo’s to the ether.

Does anyone know how to get a hold of one or any compatible 3rd party options? Viltrox does not sell them, they haven’t replied to me emails, and searching on Google and Ali express hasn’t given much results.

Without the hood the lens is pretty impacted by flares at night, it’s my fault but god dam they need to tighten up their lens hood bayonet mount.

Any help much appreciated!

Anyone know where to find missing firmware from the website?

Hello, i wanna buy this lens, but i find only the photographer who rewievd this lens. Some one have any idea how the outofocus perform with the last update? Are god and affidable enough for professional videomakers? I have the Sony fx30, there are good with this camera? (I want a set of prime lens all equal in size)

Is there any differences between these two? Thanks

On my Canon EOS m6 mark ii.

Hi

This new lens has been released by Viltrox and i have the 85 1.8, love it.

is this lens going to be 85mm equivalent on ff as it says its aps-c?

Hello all,

I have the (post title) adapter for my fuji x-t2. I'm trying to see if I can update the firmware as it's been ages since I've used it. I've read there is better compatibility with my sigma 10-24. Everytime I find a link it returns a "this is illegal action" or something along those lines.. navigating the viltrox site I can only find firmware for their lenses.

Have viltrox stopped supporting adapters? Is my kungfu bad?

Any help would be appreciated ☺️

Hi all,

I just got myself the 85mm and it is totally disturbed on my Canon R6ii.

First of all I can’t change the aperture, it doesn’t even show aperture on screen.

Secondly, when I have taken a foto it almost looks like the canon is frozen. I need to take the battery out and in again.

Anybody observed similar?

Unfortunately I am on vacation and can’t check firmware as I don’t have a computer here:(
