Viltrox AF 28mm f/4.5 FE Pancake Now Available From B&H Photo


The Viltrox 28mm was released on Indigogo and it is finally available through B&H Photo.

Key Features
  • Full-Frame | f/4.5
  • Starburst Effect
  • Ultrathin and Lightweight
  • Autofocus Design
  • Cap Forms Part of the Lens
  • Multilayer Nano Coating

The Viltrox AF 28mm f/4.5 for Sony E-mount cameras is a classic lens offering the perfect focal length for street photography. Thanks to its ultrathin and lightweight design, the lens remains almost unnoticed, which is beneficial for obtaining candid shots. When presented with a backlit situation, the lens produces a starburst effect that transforms light rays into spiky beams. An innovative aspect of this lens is the integrated cap, which opens and closes via a slide lever, eliminating worries of losing the cap and providing better protection against dust. Additionally, the lens is protected by multilayer nanocoating that prevents dust, oil, and water damage.
