New Viltrox f/1.4 APS-C E-mount lenses in Stock at BHphoto. First review by Marc Alhadeff
The new Viltrox f/1.4 APS-C lenses are now in Stock at BHphoto.
And Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlphaBlog tested the 33mm lens and the 56mm lens (review here).
The Viltrox 33mm F1.4 STM (274 euros) is a very good prime lens for A6xxx. It delivery good to excellent sharpness across the whole frame , very soft background blur, good bokeh balls, very good color rendition, pleasant skin tones. It’s AF is good and efficient most of the time.
It will be an ideal lens for portrait and street photography. If you do a lot of video its clickless aperture ring is a pleasure to use, if not in A position on the ring, it will behave like a standard lens with aperture control via the body
