Godox V1 Pro Review – Fixes More Than Thermal Protection Mode

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 29, 2024

Godox V1Pro: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

The Godox V1 was a very popular flash that provided a lot of bang for the buck, but it had some thermal issues that are now solved in the Godox V1 Pro. The Gofox V1 Pro doesn’t enter thermal protection mode as quickly as the V1, but Godox also improved other aspects of the flash.

One aspect of improvement that hasn’t been widely discussed is that Godox corrected the green color cast of the original V1 providing a perfectly neutral flash. Godox also added a USB-C port to the battery for charging and a TT960 battery pack port for about 900 full-powered flashes. The Godo V1 Pro also has a flash on flash the Godox SU1 which is powered by the V1.

Zhongyi Chuichi Kogaku SPEEDMASTER 20mm F0.95 ASPH.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 24, 2024


Zhongyi Chuichi Kogaku SPEEDMASTER 20mm F0.95 ASPH.:
B&H Photo / Amazon

Chuichi Kogaku (11 Optics): Released large aperture wide-angle lens “SPEEDMASTER 20mm F0.95 ASPH.” for APS-C
Super large aperture with an F value of 0.95 that is strong in dark places. Achieves good image quality by using multiple special lenses

Focal Studio Co., Ltd. will start selling Nakaichi Optical’s interchangeable lens “SPEEDMASTER 20mm F0.95 ASPH.” on Wednesday, January 24, 2024.
Manufacturer’s suggested retail price: ¥ 76,000 (tax included)

The Chuichi Kogaku SPEEDMASTER 20mm F0.95 is a wide-angle single focus lens for APS-C sensors that achieves an aperture of 0.95.

Super large diameter
The brightness of the aperture F value of 0.95 allows you to suppress ISO sensitivity and obtain clear images with low noise even in scenes that require a high shutter speed or in environments with insufficient light such as at night or in a dark room.

Reduces flare and distortion
By using aspherical lenses, ED lenses, and ultra-high refractive index lenses, all aberrations are suppressed and flare and barrel distortion are significantly reduced.

Minimum shooting distance 0.3m
By utilizing the perspective of a wide-angle lens to make nearby objects appear larger and distant objects smaller, it is possible to create eye-catching and dynamic expressions in close-up shots.

High quality lens barrel
The lens barrel is made of metal with a good texture, giving you a sense of high rigidity and solidity.

Compatible mount
There are four types: Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and Fujifilm X.

Viltrox Lenses Might Stop Working After Latest Fujifilm X-T5 Update

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 23, 2024


There is a report on asobinet that Viltrox AF lenses will not work with the latest firmware update for the Fujifilm X-T5. If this is true the other firmware updates that were released might also break Viltrox AF lenses so if own have a few Viltrox lenses it might be worth waiting to update to the latest Fujifilm camera firmware.

Someone told me that after updating the firmware on their X-T5, the VILTROX lenses went on strike. (Below is an excerpt of the conversation)

  • After the X-T5 firmware update, all VILTROX lenses were laid off. I could no longer read the aperture and it became a paperweight.
