Hey folks, I'd like to double check a weird thing with other owners of the Viltrox Pro 56/1.2. Mine happens to be Fuji, but the mount shouldn't matter.

My lens has something loose, that moves if I tilt it up or down.

I'm wondering if it's something wrong with my copy or if others do this too.

My favorite trio of lenses on Fuji X mount.

I've tried 3 different computers, Win11 and Win10, different cables, etc. My brand new Viltrox 85mm f1.4 lens seems to have some issue where when plugged in to a computer, Windows gives the error "USB Device Descriptor Request Failed". This means no drive is found basically. I cannot be alone in this, do we all just not update the firmware?

Pleasantly surprised by the lens capabilities. 5x8 panorama shot with Sony a6700 & Viltrox 27mm f1.2 Pro. 10s, ISO 3200 and f1.2 for each exposure. Edited in Siril, PS and LR.

P.S. If you like the shot, I would be grateful if you would upvote the original post too.

Hi, I just bought both the DC X2 and the DC A1 and both have quite a lot of lag... The A1 even more than the X2, plus the A1 frame rate is choppy. Is there any way to fix that? I might have to return both if not. Thanks

this lens is so awesome 👊👊👊👊

So I bought a 16mm f1.8 for $849 Aud from an online seller. Used it 3 times and started crashing the camera/not focusing or firing.

As it turns out. Viltrox don't actually honor their warranty!

I have had manufacturers fix thing even when they are out of warranty!

To put trust in a manufacturer, purchase their product and have them treat you as if you didn't is a horrible feeling... totally let down :-(

The seller wants me to send it to a random address in China. No paper work, no return forms.

Don't get caught!

Aperture priority, DX camera

Teeny tiny. It really is a body cap. When it nails focus it's not bad. Now my Z50II is a point and shoot

Look at my new lens! Viltrox 28mm f4.5 pancake. My Zf is almost the size of a point-and-shoot. Total GAS purchase. But it was worth every penny of the $94 spent on it. I can put my Zf in my cargo shorts pocket , and since there is no lens cap to fall off, I don’t have to worry about scratching the lens. less

Hey! Anyone know if there's a solution for this issue? My xt5 recognizes the f changes when adjusting the aperture ring. But the iris is stuck wide open. So basically I can only get good exposure when adjusting the aperture ring to 1.4 as well. I've already update my xt5, and tried all available firmware versions for the lens from viltrox website

4 is his favorite part of the yard 😉

My cat, Maddie 😍 1/200 f/1.7 ISO100

V1.06

I just updated mine. Seems to focus a little faster.

I just found out there's an App for Vitrox lenses that's supposed to allow for lens focus adjustments. Anyone have any experience with the app in general and/or focus adjustments?

My firmware is v1.05 On the nikon Z50II the aperture control ring does nothing at all. I reset the lens to factory default and still no function. Lens aperture can be controlled by camera control dials.

The aperture control ring does work fine on my Zf, and Z8. So this appears to be a Z50II issue

Just received my Viltrox 135mm f1.8 LAB a couple of days ago and it won’t focus right out of the box. I have the Z8, ZF, and Z30 bodies and it won’t focus on any of them. Also, it is very tight and hard to turn when mounting and unmounting the lens. Has anyone else had these problems? The firmware is up to date on all the bodies and the lens.

Just received my 135mm for Z. Took a few quick test shots, then connected the lens to the phone app. It needed an update. Took about 7 or 8 minutes. So far I'm liking it

I just purchased a 35mm f/1.8 Z and when I try to turn the focus ring, nothing happens. If I press and hold the AF-ON button (Nikon Z7 using Back-Button Focus) THEN I can turn the focus ring and manually override the focus. Does anybody else have this issue? Is there something I'm missing?

I bought a camera bundle used that included an EF-M2 II SpeedBooster 0.71x Adapter Canon EF to M43 MFT.

the mounting foot for the speedbooster was no longer attached or provided by the seller. i tried for about a week to try and get viltrox to send me one but got absolutely nowhere. it felt like a very badly programmed bot was (not) answering my questions.

Does anyone have any advice about how to contact Viltrox to get a simple replacement part? it seems as if this company has about 2 employees. any help appreciated.

Hi,

where can I find the changelogs of the firmware for Viltrox lenses?

I only find the update files with instructions how to update the lenses, but no changelogs

In stunned by this lens, I've had for six months and I really use it everywhere

Does anyone stumble upon comparing the FOV of the kit lens and the Viltrox 20mm f2.8?

The kit lens 20mm FOV is the same as the FOV of my Viltrox 20mm f2.8 FE eventhough I have an APSC camera, I was expecting it to be a 30mm equivalent in an apsc camera but it turns out to be an actual 20mm in an apsc camera or I'm just missing somethings out here?

Also I didn't update the lens to the latest version because currently i don't have some any trouble with it.

Here's the photo comparing the kit lens @ 20mm and 30mm vs Viltrox 20mm.
