It is extremely rare to see a Mark II version of a lens only about 15 months after the release of the original lens, but that is what we have in the Viltrox AF 85mm F1.8 STM II. I reviewed the Viltrox AF 85mm F1.8 STM only 13 months ago, but Viltrox has taken an […] [Read more...]

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 to having a gorgeous manual focus ring. This is the second Viltrox lens that I’ve […] [Read more...]
