Excellent video. I've been watching reviews of both cameras all day, but I made my decision after watching yours. I decided to get the Samyang, due to the increased contrast. The Viltrox produces quite a "washed out" image when there are high contrast scenes (ie white sky or bright streetlights). Thank-you for this!

Thank you very much, I'm really glad you find it helpful. I didn't notice the low contrast look when I reviewed the Viltrox lens alone, but when compared with the Samyang lens, it's quite obvious.
Thanks. To see the Viltrox has a hard 1/2 Diffusionfilter build in, I tend to go for Samyang.
Awesome review/comparison. This justified my purchase of the Samyang 18mm F2.8 that I use on my ZV-E1. ZV-E1 & samyang 18mm combo is so lightweight,perfect for vlogging, gimbal & travel. Just buy the samyang. Samyang is wider esp if you use Dynamic active stabilization & has better contrast. The white haze or glow on that Viltrox is like you have black pro mist filter on the lens.

Thanks for the comment! Yeah on zve1 with that huge percentage of crop it’s better to have wider angle .
I like your honesty. thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video. Between both lenses, which one produces less noise when autofocusing in video mode? Btw, since your country same climate and humidity as mine, do you have overheating issues with the E1 when shooting video outdoor?

Both lenses are pretty silent, I only hear some faint noise when I put them next to my ear. I’ve done several overheating tests on ZVE1 under different circumstances, you can see this video at about 8’05 kzread.info/dash/bejne/imWH0tGJoLKwdbQ.htmlsi=eLXVfmGtTm6dI7WQ

Excellent video, thank you! Do you know if any of these newer lens manufacturers are planning to introduce a full-frame fast wide angle? Something like a competitor to the 24mm f1.4??

I've tried a Viltrox 24mm f1.8, it's pretty good but a bit heavy compared to these two in the video.

Thanks very much for your review. The extra 2mm and the poorer flaring performance of the otherwise nice Viltrox makes me keep my Samyang :-)

Hello. I have the Sony ZVe10 abd a kit lens 16-50 f3.5 5.6, and my question is if this lens the Viltrox 20 mmf 2.8 is sharper and with better contrast that the kit lens? Because when I zoom in the contrast lows and sharpness becomes quite soft in 4K Thanks
@ConstantineSPhotography

I don't have that kit lens to try, but according to the reviews on the internet, I'd say the Sony kit lens is a more convenient setup, since it has 16-50mm zoom and also lens stabilization and power zoom, but for sharpness I believe the Viltrox 20 mm f 2.8 is sharper
