The Viltrox AF 85mm F1.8 STM is the first full frame autofocus lens from Viltrox designed for Sony FE…and I’m the first reviewer in the West to get my hands on one!  The lens sports a beautiful build quality (very premium) along with a STM autofocus system.  I’ll be exploring how Viltrox has does in implementing autofocus, but my early impressions are very positive.   This is the third Viltrox lens that I’ve reviewed, and I think it will be a nice option for those who want a budget (full frame) portrait lens or general purpose 85mm focal length and don’t want to pay the extra premium for the Sony FE 85mm F1.8. Stay tuned for my ongoing coverage of this exciting new lens, and check back often as I post new photos to the galleries below.
