VILTROX AF 27MM F1.2 PRO

www.viltroxstore.com £420/$545

The Viltrox AF 27mm F1.2 Pro picks up the baton from some T seriously good f/1.4 lenses that are available in Fujifilm X, Nikon Z and Sony E mount options. We were impressed by the Viltrox AF 23mm F1.4 Z, Viltrox AF 33mm F1.4 Z and Viltrox AF 56mm F1.4 Z, which are all pretty much the same size and weight, plus the slightly larger Viltrox AF 13mm F1.4 Z. Personally, I was so impressed by these four lenses that I bought them outright as my go-to lenses for when I’m shooting with my Nikon Z fc camera.

Combining fast and consistently accurate autofocus with good handling characteristics, Viltrox’s back catalogue of lenses include de-clicked aperture rings and are terrific value at the price, although the 23mm, 33mm and 56mm lack weather seals.
