20mm T2.0 Cine Style L-Mount Full Frame Lens for $499
Photo Moment - December 11, 2020
Cine style lenses are all manual, have clickless aperture, and are geared for follow focus systems. They can cost an arm and a leg, but this one from Viltrox proves that they don't have to.

Any idea what the focus throw is on the lens?
I don’t recall and don’t have this lens anymore. That info is probably on their website.
Hi Joseph, thanks for your review. I've been trying to find a footage of this lens with a talking head youtube style but couldn't find one. Do you think it will be good and sharp enough for that use case? I have the TTArtisan 21 F1.5 and I think the lens characteristic is a bit too much for that. Thanks again.
Yeah, totally. It’s quite a clean lens, without much unique character. Easy enough to blend in with other lenses.
Great review. Something looks different about the image in this video. The colour and exposure are hotter than usual on your channel.
This video is HDR, that's why. Not my best HDR grade — early days of doing it. I've gotten better ;-)
Great video thanks - just bought the lens
I'm looking at this lens for real estate video. Does it let in enough light for interiors. My other option is the Sigma 20mm 1.4 which is double the price. I wouldn't mind getting the Viltrox and pairing it with DJI's 3D focus system I'm worried about the amount of light this Viltrox let's in
T2.0 pretty damn bright. I don’t know of too many lenses that wide and that fast.
Great Review! Do you know if there is a version for Super35mm?
@@photojoseph I´ll take a look! thanks!
Not that I know of. I think they focused on the full frame market, but check their website, or amazon or B&H — I did notice different availability between Amazon and B&H, so be sure to check both.
Great video, Joseph. Been away for a few months and your review quality has improved exponentially! Love the real examples and the pacing. Beautiful stuff keep it up!
Do they make a photography version ?
I think they do, but possibly not in L-Mount. Check their website or search AMazon and B&H. I did notice that B&H has different options than Amazon does.
Hi Joseph, what about focus breathing?
Well well… I didn't test that. BUT NOW I DID and just uploaded a whole new video. You get the credit (or blame, haha) for that: https://youtu.be/S3h2OZmkwhM
