By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 13, 2019

Viltrox released a lot of information about their new 85mm lens on weibo and an interesting comparison with the Fujinon 56mm f/1.2 and Sony 85mm f/1.8.  The Viltrox 85mm is a true full-frame 85mm lens the same design released for E-mount but with an X-Mount AF mount that is fully featured. They also released an announcement with some shipment issues that might cause shortages so grab one while you can.

Translated: “Heavy struck
The first Sony E-mount AF lens viltrox 85mmF1.8 stm E-mount was officially released on April 12th. The lens will be available for the first time with the majority of photographers, and can be tried on the spot.

Venue: Beijing Exhibition Hall

Wei Zhuo Booth No.: T1208

Due to the shortage of orders for the viltrox 85mmF1.8 stm X-mount autofocus lens, the existing production line capacity is tight, resulting in the delay of the 85mmF1.8 stm E-mount autofocus lens pre-sale date, which opened on May 1, 2019. Pre-sale, we apologize for the inconvenience caused to the majority of photographers. The new production line is being tightened, so stay tuned.”

Viltrox 85mm f1.8 Review Round-up

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 11, 2019

Many photographers that follow the site have asked me if I am going to get a Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 since I own a lot of Fujifilm glass, but it’s just not for me at this time, a lot of others are enjoying theirs though. Since the release of the Viltrox 85mm it has received almost universal praise, but if I were in the market for a lens at this focal length I personally would go for the Fujinon XF90mm f/2 R LM WR or Fujinon XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR. From what I can tell the Viltrox seems to be a huge value with very few shortcomings.

Godox V1 Officially Available

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 10, 2019


Godox announced that the Godox V1 TTL Li-ion Round Head Camera Flash is now available, but it looks like the release will be staggered with Canon coming out first followed by Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Pentax, and Panasonic.

“Godox V1 TTL Li-ion Round Head Camera Flash Canon/ Nikon / Sony Version are now available.More details about the Nikon&Sony Verion will be released later. Fujifilm /Pentax/ Panasonic Version will follow later.”

The Flashpoint labeled ones that we posted about here should ship sooner than the Godox branded ones. These flashes have become a very popular alternative to the Profoto A1 and thankfully it looks like Profoto has failed at stopping their sale.

Amazon has a lot of V1 accessories listed here and the Fujifilm Godox V1 is listed with an expected shipment date of 3-5 weeks.
