Is the viltrox af 50mm f 1 4 pro good for video?

It can work for video, but it isn't a vlogging lens. On full frame it frames as a standard 50mm, and on APS-C it acts like 75mm, which is tight for a camera held at arm's length. Our video guide suggests a wide lens, around 16-20mm full-frame equivalent, for that job.

It's also not stabilised, and it's a fixed focal length, so you'll move your feet rather than zoom. It does have autofocus. If you want it for interviews, planned shots, or a shallow-depth look, it's a reasonable choice on a full-frame body such as the Sony FX3 or Sony ZV-E1. Whatever you shoot, budget for sound too, as the audio section explains.
