Viltrox AF 50mm f/2: B&H Photo / Amazon
Optical Limits posted its full Viltrox AF 50mm f/2 review, which you can read in full here, or check out the excerpt below:
…The Viltrox AF 50mm f/2 FE is not only very consistent but also very sharp across the relevant aperture range. The center quality is excellent straight from f/2 and the outer image field is easily very good. The peak performance at f/4 is truly impressive. Image distortions and lateral CAs are very low. Axial CAs are a somewhat noticeable at f/2, but it’s nothing out of the ordinary. The quality of the bokeh may not be the greatest of them all, but it’s quite decent for a fifty.
Mechanically, the lens stays true to its “Air” designation. It’s very lightweight, yet the execution is very decent for a consumer grade lens. The engineered plastics are of good quality and the focus ring turns smoothly. The AF is quick and silent. Weather sealing is not provided…
