Optical Limits published its full review of the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN ART which you can read in full here or check out the excerpt below:

…The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN ART is another great option for high-speed prime lovers. The lens produces excellent results in most criteria. It’s already sharp at f/1.4 and impressively so at medium aperture settings. Lateral CAs and image distortions are very low. Another highlight is the nice rendering of the bokeh. The vignetting is typical for a lens in this class. Weaker aspects are LoCAs and sun star rendering.

The build quality is excellent and comparable to the best professional OEM lenses. Needless to say -it also uses a dust- and splash resistant design. The AF is fast and noiseless, with the usual caveat that this also heavily depends on the camera.

OL: Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 Review – It’s A Steal

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 6, 2024


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.
