Viltrox has quickly become one of the most competitive manufacturers of lenses, creating options that offer excellent performance and image quality at some of the best prices in the industry. The relatively new AF 75mm f/1.2 offers APS-C users an extremely wide aperture in tandem with a portrait focal length, making it an intriguing option for many photographers, and this excellent video review takes a look at the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in real-world usage.
Coming to you from Wes Perry, this great video review takes a look at the Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 XF lens for Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, and Sony E APS-C users. At just $549, the 75mm f/1.2 is highly affordable compared to most premium portrait lenses, which should make it appealing to wedding and portrait photographers alike. And for the most part, it punches above its weight, offerings good sharpness even at wide apertures, good control of distortion and aberrations, pleasing and unobtrusive bokeh, solid construction, and weather-sealing. And that performance is important to consider when you remember that Fujifilm recently raised the demand on XF mount lenses by putting 40-megapixel sensors in the X-T5 and X-H2 mirrorless cameras. Check out the video above for Perry's full thoughts on the lens.
Since publishing I’ve heard from a few X-H2 users who’ve said this is indeed a superlative lens for those higher resolution bodies.
