Viltrox AF 24mm F1.8 STM FE Review
The first Viltrox lens I tested was a wide angle lens for Sony FE (full frame mirrorless). I did that review only two years ago, but it is astounding how much has changed during that time. In a very short…

Photography is expensive, so a lot of the gear that I end up reviewing is often outside the budget of many people. Fortunately there has been a rise in the past 3-4 years of what I classify as “boutique third…
Viltrox AF 56mm F1.4 Review and Image Gallery
Chinese lens maker Viltrox has proved to be a very quick study for a new lens maker. They started with a few manual focus lenses (typical), but, by their third lens, graduated to autofocus lenses (not typical!) That has remained…
Viltrox AF 23mm F1.4 Review
Viltrox has quickly established a name for themselves because, unlike most other new boutique lens makers, they have quickly (and successfully) accepted the challenge of designing autofocus lenses rather than just manual focus options. Many other newer brands have not…
Viltrox AF 85mm F1.8 STM II Review

Viltrox AF 33mm F1.4 XF Review
The Fuji platform has not been a particularly open one. The traditional major third party players like Sigma and Tamron have no Fuji XF mount lenses, and Samyang has no autofocus lenses for XF. The only real AF series for…

Viltrox 85mm F1.8 MF FE Review
I first heard of Viltrox late in 2018 when they announced three new lenses for Sony and Fuji mirrorless systems. One of those lenses (the first that I reviewed) was a 20mm F1.8 fully manual lens for Sony FE. The…

The Viltrox 85mm F1.8 is a new manual focus lens designed for Sony FE. There is an autofocus version that will come later (for an additional $80), but this lens may prove to be the better option for video due…

If you were to go back even five years ago, it was easy to know the players in the photography industry. As a Canon shooter at the time, the lenses essentially universally came from Canon, Sigma, Tamron, Zeiss, and relative…
