Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 LAB: B&H Photo / Amazon
Optical Limits published its full review of the Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 LAB FE, which you can read in full here or check out an excerpt from the review below:
Viltrox delivered another impressive lens – this time the ultra-fast Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB FE. It’s not only fast, but also capable of producing great image quality. It’s very sharp at f/1.2 and reaches greatness from f/2. Lateral CAs are low. Axial CAs are noticeable at large aperture settings, although not excessive. The vignetting is typical for such a lens. Images shows a slight pincushion distortions – and our pre-prod sample didn’t have a correction profile to eliminate them. The background bokeh is very smooth and out-of-focus highlights are nicely rendered.
The build quality is up to professional standards thanks to a weather-sealed all metal housing. The focus control ring is smooth.
Pro
- Very sharp even at f/1.2, superb from f/2
- Nice background bokeh
Con
- It’s heavy
- LoCAs at f/1.2
- No distortion correction profile (in out pre-prod sample, but this may be added via firmware)
