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

Viltrox has gained a lot of respect in the last few years for their ability to create quality lenses at prices that significantly undercut those of comparable options. An example of such a lens is the PRO Series AF 27mm f/1.2 Pro, which gives users a 40mm equivalent focal length combined with a particularly wide maximum aperture, making it an intriguing lens for a wide variety of creatives and applications. This excellent video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Pav SZ, this great video review takes a look at the new Viltrox PRO Series AF 27mm f/1.2 Pro lens. Costing just $545, the 27mm f/1.2 brings a lot of value to the table, with an array of features including: 

  • 15 elements in 11 groups
  • 2 extra-low dispersion, 5 high refractive index, and 1 aspherical element for reduced aberrations and distortions, improved contrast, and increased 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
