A Review of the New Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 XF Lens

When it comes to lenses that punch above their weight, Viltrox is quickly becoming one of the photography world's favorite manufacturers, releasing many ultra-affordable lenses that offer decent or even good performance and image quality despite those rock-bottom prices. Their latest offering, the AF 75mm f/1.2 XF, offers Fujifilm users an ultra-wide aperture paired with a useful focal length. This great video review takes a look at the new lens and the sort of image quality and performance you can expect from it in use. 

Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this excellent video review takes a look at the new Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 XF lens for Fujifilm X Series mirrorless cameras. Priced at $549, the 75mm f/1.2 is quite affordably priced for what it offers, making it a potentially nice option for portrait and wedding photographers alike. And it looks like it lives up to those hopes, offering good sharpness even at those wider apertures, soft and pleasing bokeh, well-controlled aberrations, and surprisingly solid build quality and weather-sealing. It is nice to see that such an affordable lens can keep up with the demanding 40-megapixel sensors of the new X-T5 and X-H2, particularly given its extreme design. Check out the video above for Abbott's full thoughts on the lens.
