Viltrox 85mm f/1.4 Pro FE: B&H Photo / Amazon
Optical Limits posted its full review of the very affordable high-performance Viltrox 85mm f/1.4 Pro FE, which you can read in full here or check out the excerpt below:
The Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.4 PRO FE delivers a very solid performance with a few caveats. It is already sharp at f/1.4 and great at medium aperture settings… The lens produces a very slight image distortion and noticeable vignetting at large aperture… Lateral CAs are low, whereas axial CAs can show up at f/1.4 and f/2. The quality of the bokeh is generally good…The build quality is superb. The metal body feels solid as a rock, and the control rings and button feel reassuringly high quality. The AF is good, although it stays slightly below Sony standards in terms of speed… Overall, a very attractive option that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
