A Review of the Ultra-Fast Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 Lens

In the past few years, we have seen an explosion of lenses that offer far more performance for the price than many comparable first-party options, and few manufacturers have been more competitive in that respect than Viltrox, who have created some of the most remarkably affordable lenses in recent memory. The AF 75mm f/1.2 offers APS-C continues that trend by offering APS-C users the combination of a portrait focal length and a bokeh-monster aperture. This great video review takes a look at the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from the lens. 

Coming to you from Matt Irwin Photography, this excellent video review takes a look at the Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 XF lens for Fujifilm X Series, Nikon Z, and Sony E mount APS-C cameras. At just $549, the 75mm f/1.2 is highly affordable for such a lens with an ultra-wide aperture, making it intriguing for portrait and wedding photographers in particular. Beyond the impressive specs, it looks to offer good sharpness, soft bokeh, a relative lack of aberrations, and rugged build quality and sealing, making it a lens many photographers should consider adding to their bag. Check out the video above for Irwin's full thoughts on the lens.
