Viltrox 56mm f/1.7 E: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

The Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 is yet another solid lens from Vitrox according to the Optical Limits review of the lens. You can check out the full review here or the excerpt below:

Unsurprisingly, the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 E maintains the high quality levels that we’ve already seen with the X-mount version of the lens. The lens is very sharp at f/1.7 and downright superb at medium aperture settings. Image distortions and CAs are non-existent. Vignetting is on the very high in RAW images but decent when using auto-correction. The quality of the bokeh is impressive as well. Highlights are nicely rendered and the background blur is very smooth. Even LoCAs are on the low side. A bit of a hiccup are focus shifts towards the rear when stopping down. At very close focus distances this might be an issue…The build quality is far better than what you might expect from a lens of this the price tag.
