The LAB series is to be Viltrox’s “Otus” series; an optically superlative lineup of lenses that will eventually include 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm F1.2 lenses in addition to the 135mm F1.8 LAB lens that I’m reviewing here. Viltrox is unique in my experience in that they tend to announce their development cycle [Read more...]
I’ve just wrapped up a review of Viltrox’s smallest, lightest, and cheapest lens: the AF 28mm F4.5 “Chip” – a micro-pancake lens just 15mm long. That makes it somewhat ironic to immediately pivot to what is easily their biggest, heaviest, and most expensive lens to date. I’ve been excited abou [Read more...]

Earlier this year I did one of my first ever Nikon Z-mount reviews, and it was of a brand new Viltrox lens that released first to Nikon – the Viltrox AF 40mm F2.5. I found it to be quite an impressive little lens for the money in my review, and noted in that review that […] [Read more...]
I have found it interesting to revisit certain lenses as mounts like Nikon’s Z-mount have started to open up to third party development. It’s interesting to see just how well these lenses translate onto a new platform. My very first review on my new Nikon Z8 body this spring was of another Viltrox full frame [&hellip [Read more...]
Viltrox is clearly a very ambitious company. I’ve had the unique opportunity to start from the beginning with them, reviewing their first 20mm F1.8 manual focus lens in early 2019. Then came an 85mm F1.8 manual focus, then their first autofocus lens right after that (also an 85mm F1.8). They spent a few years honing [&hell [Read more...]

The Viltrox AF 56mm F1.7 is not an unknown commidity to me. I reviewed in on Fuji X-mount earlier this year, which is, frankly, the most challenging platform that I review lenses on for two reasons: 1) Fuji’s 40MP APS-C sensor is extremely demanding due to having the highest resolution currently available on APS-C and [&he [Read more...]
