would you like me to send you a free

guide to capturing Motion in low light

situations well if you said yes just

look for this Orange Box over on fronos

it hit send it I'm going to send you

that guide for

[Music]

free Jared poen fronos

photo.com and this is a review of the

vro 35mm

f1.8 lens now they make this lens both

for for the Nikon Z Mount as well as

Sony's e-mount I tested it out on the

Nikon Z mount for this version now this

is the first time that I'm talking about

a vro lens now I consider these to be

fourth-party type lenses whereas Sigma

and Tamron and tokina that have been

around much longer making thirdparty

glass I consider those third party and

this no three and a half to Fourth party

because it's part of the newer line of

lenses that are coming out of China that

I'm finally giving a chance and the

reason I'm giving them a shot and giving

them a chance is because they're less

expensive they autofocus on the

mirrorless cameras and it helps people

get a faster piece of glass meaning an

f1.8 much sooner than the more expensive

versions that Nikon and Tamron and sigma

and Sony and the other people are

putting out so that's why I'm reviewing

this lens but what did I shoot with it

to test it out well I took it to a

professional bowling event which is a

lower light situation where I have all

access to get around and shoot the

bowlers because I can get up close and

personal which is great and also went

out to the Harlem Globe trods game where

if you've never been to a globe trods

game look them up they play all around

the world you should definitely go to a

globe trer game it's a good test in that

situation to see how the autofocus works

and how's the depth of field now this is

a full-frame lens so it is 35 mm on a

full-frame body but if you do have a

crop sensor body you're going to get the

equivalent of 52 1/2 mm which isn't bad

at all if you want to get a faster piece

of glass meaning a 1.8 verse one of

those variable aperture kit lenses that

you might be using when you first get

your camera now let's take a look at the

outside of the lens the first thing you

feel and notice is that it's not that

crappy you would think that these China

made lenses would feel like plastic and

not feel comparable to a Nikon or a Sony

lens but right off the bat it looks good

it feels good in the hands and it feels

like it's pretty well made now it's hard

to determine without having one of these

things for six years at this point how

it's going to hold up longevity wise but

from the feel of it it seems like it's

built pretty well so there's not much

going on on the outside of the lens you

do have an aperture ring that does lock

in you can use it manually or you could

lock it in on a and it's going to take a

little bit of pressure to get it off of

the a ooh I'm listening to that clip I'm

wondering if that's something that might

break with more usage I personally don't

use this at all I control the aperture

from the camera itself never from the

lens now this is a 55 mm filter thread

uh I do not recommend putting filters on

camera on any lenses the the clear

filters if you want to get into other

types of creative filters that's a

different story but you don't need to

put a piece of glass in front of this

piece of glass especially because this

thing is pretty inexpensive you don't

need to put anything in front of it I

don't shoot with filters on my lenses

but other than that you have this orange

badge on the side and that's it for the

outside of the lens you got your lens

Hood now that thing feels plastic that's

how you put your lens hood on when

you're not using it you just flip it

around bayonet style and you clip it on

like that lens cap easy to get on nice

squeezy there nice and easy now it

weighs in at 13.1 Oz 370 G not bad at

all you've got nine aperture blades for

anybody that cares about those most of

the time uh the more blades gives you a

rounder bokeh or out of focus area in

the back in this type of lens it's

really not going to matter how many

blades you have now speaking of those

aperture blades this is what you're

looking for as I zoom in on this photo

of Kyle troop who's reading a book

during a tournament let's look at the

background look at those people out of

focus they're gone that's what you get

from shooting wide open at f1.8 so I use

this lens to shoot wide open the entire

time because if it can hit at 1.8 it's

going to be able to hit at 2.8 or four

or 56 or wherever you need to go but

what I'm looking for when when looking

at a lens I zoom in on his face and I'm

like yeah that's sharp that's what I'm

looking for right like if it can't hit

Focus then I wouldn't recommend it but

in this case it found Focus he's sitting

there it used the iaf it looks good I'm

able to process it to the colors and

make it look fine and I'm not sitting

here going man I wish I was using a

different Nikon or Sony lens uh Native

brand because this just worked and

that's what I care about can it work can

it get the images now since I'm talking

about Focus the autofocus let's jump out

to the Harlem Globe triers where a guy

is jumping up to slam dunk a ball during

warm-ups I'm just sitting there on the

Baseline just seeing how does the

tracking work is it the best autofocus

tracking I've ever seen does it hit

every single time and the answer no it

doesn't hit every time but in the shots

that I was shooting I got what I needed

and wasn't like yeah I I'm upset I

missed everything now what I can say is

I've used vro lenses on both the Nikon

as well as the Sony system and I do find

that they focus differently on both

Nikon I didn't feel was as good focusing

as on the Sony and and that's more

because there's differences between how

these lenses talk to the cameras and how

these lens manufacturers are building

the algorithms from scratch to try and

autofocus uh on both of the systems so I

just felt like the Sony felt like it was

more accurate time and time again versus

the Nikon but I still got very good

results on the Nikon that I'm happy with

let me jump in here real quick because I

want to show you our custom Lightroom

presets from fro Pack 4 in action on

this photo right here starting with blue

Clues followed by Brooklyn c41 copper

tone High sea Kaleidoscope saltwater

taffy thick and wet Hot American Summer

but my all-time favorite preset from fro

pack one with one click is Skittles and

it goes boom but check this out

exclusive to fro Pack 4 are four custom

adaptive Lightroom presets called X1 X2

X3 and X4 let's check out face enhance

called X1 with one click it creates all

of these masks for you that you don't

have to do anything so let's click on

facial skin we could raise the amount or

lower the amount so you can see before

and after and you can make it work any

way you want so look if you want to

speed up your raw workflow give yourself

a great starting point or you're just

tired of people's presets sucking SS

don't suck we created 14 all new custom

Lightroom presets that you can check out

right now at fronos

photo.com pac4 while you're over there

you can play with the sliders to see the

befores and The Afters and if you decide

to pick them up right now they are

currently on sale or if you want to get

the Grand Slam bundle that is fr Pack 1

2 3 and four you can save even more now

let's get back to the video now let's

jump back into to the bowling alley this

is Jason Belmonte one of the greatest if

not the greatest Bowlers of all time and

I tracked him as he walked back is it an

extreme situation no but it's a lower

light situation cuz I'm at 5,000 ISO at

1 1,000th of a second at

f1.8 the point of having an f1.8 lens is

it allows you to allow more light in

while keeping that ISO a little lower in

this case if I didn't have a 1.8 and I

had an F4 lens my ISO would have to

shoot so much higher or I'd have to

bring my shutter speed down to a place

where I wouldn't be able to freeze the

action say at the Harlem Globe truers

game so having the 1.8 is so beneficial

when you're starting out that that's why

I'm leaning towards recommending a lens

like this when you're just starting out

to get that f1.8 because it allows you

to let more light in as we zoom in on

Jason's face he is in focus is there

grain there sure that's going to happen

in lowlight situations but look the

scoreboards out of focus but I can still

tell that he bowled a 258 which is very

good now continuing on we've got Jason

belon talking to Kyle troop and the

reason I'm shooting like this is I'm

focused on Kyle Tru I just want to show

the separation that you get between the

two subjects at 1.8 as well as the

background now let me show you what you

can get when you focus on the subject

and then focus on say the pencil that

the subject is writing with in this case

I have Dom Barrett here writing up his

scores got down nice and low focused in

on his face Perfect Look the pencil's

out of focus nice separation at 1.8 we

go to the next image of him doing the

exact same thing all I did was shift my

focus to the pencil and now he's out of

focus that's what you get when you get a

1.8 lens you start to get better

separation not only are you letting more

light in but you're getting better

separation moving on we have a couple

more images to show you starting with a

portrait of my friend Sully who works

out on the PBA tour he runs the ball

truck you know where they get to drill

all the balls I'm like Sully just stand

here let me get a portrait of you I'm

zooming in eye looks fantastic that's

all I care about I don't care if it's a

cheap lens or the most expensive lens in

the world if the eye is in focus and I

can't tell you no one's going to look at

this and be like this wasn't taken with

an Nikon top-of-the-line lens no one's

going to be able to know and that's the

cool thing that's what I'm looking for

is can I get pictures with something

that's much less expensive to recommend

to you guys and get good results so

let's jump out to the Harlem Globe

triers game once again we've got a

couple of pictures here we've got our

buddy here who hooks us up with passes

he is nice and sharp the colors look

perfectly fine to me after I tweak the

raw files I'm happy with those results

uh and this little kid just standing

here with his mom waiting uh to get a

ball signed was was awesome nice

separation look as we zoom in on the

background those people are out of focus

that's what you're getting that's the

difference between I'd like to say a

cheap kit lens and something that allows

you to shoot at 1.8 you're making it

look more professional and that's the

type of results that you get when you

get into a lens like this so how much is

this lens 379 bucks not bad at all we

compare that to Nikon's 35 1.8 Z that's

$847 new is the Nikon version good the

answer is yeah it's very good it's a

it's a lens that someone who has more

money to spend and has been shooting

longer would move into a 3518 Z because

it's going to be faster focusing it's

going to be a little bit more accurate

probably slightly sharper and give you

better results and better color in the

long run but for people starting out

$379 woo not bad at all let me cut in

here real quick and let you know that

this video is brought to you by

Squarespace if you're looking to build

your very own online portfolio use what

I've been using for close to 15 years at

this point for my personal website

because it's simple easy affordable and

I don't need to know coding to get your

14-day free trial head on over to

squarespace.com fronos photo if you

decide that it's for you use the code

fronos photo at checkout to get 10% off

your first order two more tests before I

tell you if it's worth it and who it's

for sniff test and wind tunnel test

we're going to start with the sniff

test oh smells like one of those

basketballs that the Harlem Globe TRS

give out because it's it's blue and yep

I'm getting some Red O and I'm getting

some white yep that's what it smells

like when tunnel test time I worry about

third fourth party lenses and wind

tunnel tests

though Stephen guess what it passed it

passed the wind tunnel test cuz it

didn't fly off the

table so I'll tell you I I was surprised

I'm glad I tried out a lens like this

fourth party third party whatever you

want to call it this is a new generation

of lenses that are coming out from these

new manufacturers and honestly they're

making some pretty compelling lens is

for the price it comes down to Value so

who is this for this is for someone

who's just starting out and doesn't want

to spend

$847 or

$545 on a lens when they just bought a

camera for five or 600 bucks for 379

bucks this is a very nice option to get

into a 1.8 lens quickly for a Nikon or

quickly for a Sony e-mount very good

choice very good option for the money

look you can get great results with

anything if you know what you're doing

even when you're just starting out if

you don't know what you're doing you're

still going to get better results when

you put this thing on 1.8 you get that

Focus right where it needs to be you're

going to be happy with what you're

getting more so than a kit lens so

that's what I have to say about this if

you guys have any comments or feedback

please leave it down below thank you

very much for watching Jared po androos

photo.com see you
