Optical Limits published its full review of the Viltrox 50mm f/1.4 Pro, which you can read in full here or check out the excerpt below:

The Viltrox AF 50mm f/1.4 FE Pro is an impressive lens in many ways, but it’s not flawless. In terms of sharpness, it is up there with the best, though. Image distortions and lateral CAs are low. The vignetting is about typical for such a lens. The quality of the bokeh is generally good with a few caveats. Not ideal are axial CAs at large apertures as well as the observed focus shift at close focus distances.

Pros

  1. Very sharp
  2. Superb Build Quality
  3. Very fast AF

Cons

  1. Heavy
  2. Focus shift when stopping down
  3. No built-in correction profile
