A Review of the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 Lens

In recent years, Viltrox has earned considerable acclaim for producing high-quality lenses that are priced much lower than similar models on the market. A prime example is the PRO Series AF 27mm f/1.2 Pro lens. This lens offers a 40mm equivalent focal length along with a notably wide maximum aperture, making it an appealing choice for various creative endeavors and uses. The fantastic video review delves into this lens, examining its real-world performance and the kind of image quality it delivers in various scenarios.

Coming to you from Alex Barrera, 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 mightily valuable, though it still comes with a nice range 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

Altogether, the 27mm f/1.2 looks like another great lens from Viltrox. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Barrera.
