A Review of the Impressive Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 Lens

In recent years, Viltrox has earned considerable acclaim for producing high-quality lenses that are more affordable than similar options on the market. A notable example is the PRO Series AF 27mm f/1.2 Pro lens. Offering a 40mm equivalent focal length and an impressively wide aperture, this lens has become a compelling choice for a diverse range of creative professionals and uses. The detailed video review delves into the lens's performance and the quality of images it produces in real-world scenarios.

Coming to you from Matt Irwin Photography, this great video review takes a look at the Viltrox PRO Series AF 27mm f/1.2 Pro lens. Costing just $545, the 27mm f/1.2 is quite affordable for what it offers, with a feature set that includes:

  • 15 elements in 11 groups
  • 2 extra-low dispersion, 5 high refractive index, and 1 aspherical element for fewer aberrations and reduced distortion, deeper contrast, and improved sharpness across the entire frame
  • STM motor for fast and accurate autofocus
  • Minimum focusing distance of 0.28 m
  • Dust- and splash-proof construction
  • Waterproof and antifouling component on front element
  • Minimized focus breathing for video applications

Altogether, the 27mm f/1.2 looks like another great deal from Viltrox. Check out the video above for Irwin's full thoughts on the lens.
