Viltrox AF 35mm 1.2 LAB Features
The lens is made up of 15 elements in 10 groups, including five ED lenses, three high refractive index lenses, and two aspherical lenses, ensuring clarity from the center to the edges of the entire focal range and enabling the depiction of fine textures even at maximum aperture, allowing users to retain image quality down to the fine details even in cropped images, expanding the scope of their photography.
Equipped with Viltrox’s proprietary Hyper VCM motor, it achieves 150% faster focus speed and more precise aperture accuracy compared to conventional STM motors, allowing you to accurately capture photographic opportunities.
The large aperture F1.2 and 11-blade diaphragm produce a softer, more beautiful circular bokeh, providing excellent quality even in low light conditions. The minimum shooting distance of 0.34m and maximum magnification of 0.17x provide clear, excellent images from infinity to close-ups.
The side of the lens is equipped with two switching levers, two custom Fn buttons, two rings, and a display, allowing users to make fine adjustments to suit their shooting style.
The lens body, including the front of the lens, is dust-proof and splash-proof, making it suitable for use in a wide range of shooting environments. By connecting to the app via Bluetooth, you can set the Fn button and the image and text to be displayed on the lens display when the camera is started.
