Not an owner of either lenses, but there's plenty of reviews showing how the Fuji 35mm diaphragm emits a continuous chit-chatting noise while composing, iirc when you enable the exposure preview ...

Fuji has historically been fixing a big part of issues reported by users by means of frequent firmware updates. And each user does what s/he can. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic here, but ...

So he might have faked the results... because? Is he happy to have a cheap lens that surpasses the one he already bought and praised? Are YOU serious? No. But it shows a bit where the viltrox is ...

The angry photographer's test shots are here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VnyN5Hxox/ Also some comparisons with the fuji, where the viltrox results sharper in the center (in one shot - not enough ...

I'm still waiting for other reviews. That lens variance is a thing with third party brands is pretty much a historical fact (I remember tamron and sigma suffered that before they became premium, ...

Because it's way cheaper than the fuji 35mm f1.4, its autofocus is much better, its build quality is not too shabby and other reviews report better results with sharpness as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A61_0d68iRg He compares it to the Fuji 35mm f2. His main takes: - not as sharp as the fuji even at f2 and further, except it's sharper at the extreme corners where ...

As much as I'm not sure of what the bokeh comparison you posted as sharpness actually represents ;)

I noticed that you were replying to another person's comment posting that review in the first place. That is not the review the OP posted anyway, hence the confusion. Any other way: perhaps using ...

Not really, the subject of this thread is the Angry Photographer's review... And yet you used this review, and I repeat, a selected bit of it, to prove your point. No, I haven't dropped from the ...

The point of shooting walls or boring flat surfaces is exactly what you did, for test purpose :) So it seems like your lens sample has indeed some flaws.

One observation about this comparison btween good and bad lens: the "good" one is focusing on a wall (with all frame basically in focus) while in the original photo the trees (center/sides) and ...

Yes: http://www.gunpowdervideo.com/2020/04/22/viltrox-33mm-f1-4-review/ So this review happens to be the same where you took the samples from, above - showing that the fuji is sharper on the bottom ...

"The trusted Original" writing is sharper on the 33, so overall these images are not comparable since it seems the focus point was different.

That's one of his typical black/white bold statements. But it seems to be sharper in the middle (and, I read somewhere, up to f4 no-less-sharp than the fuji across the whole frame) which is the ...

It all depends. There's also this... https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VnyN5Hxox/ Where are these shots you posted cropped from? Corner or center?

That's all to be seen (ads, corporate videos - I've seen dslrs/mirrorless myself shooting videos in our company) and imho it's not as relevant for the camera market anyway. There are thousands of ...

entoman You wrote "it's a stills camera, and the video functionality is deliberately limited". Well, we don't know that, the present tense is wrong, and that was my point. And anyway, I don't...

entoman The video specs, as described, are beyond any existing limit for a still+video camera... which we know are nowadays used for serious videography too (which doesn't mean cinema only).

entoman in a video interview, being forced to interrupt and waiting for heat dissipation every 15 min could be a bit annoying.
