Hey everyone! Today I am sharing my review of the Viltrox 85mm f1.4 Pro lens with comparisons to the Sony 85mm f1.4 GMII. I am taking this lens out to test it at a real world portrait photoshoot, testing it in different lighting scenarios to see how it performs. I share autofocus examples, lens flare, bokeh and image quality samples for you to take a look at. All the photos I am sharing throughout this video are at 100% crop and unedited so you can see the true quality of the lens. For photography I am using this Viltrox on the Sony A7IV and for the video tests at the end I am using the A9III. Let me know what you think in the comments!
