Viltrox has introduced the AF 27mm F1.2 Pro autofocus lens for the Fujifilm X mount, catering to photographers seeking precision and quality. Even at wide apertures, this lens delivers sharp imagery from the center to the edges, with the built-in HOYA glass aspherical elements playing a pivotal role in managing chromatic aberrations.
With an optical configuration of 11 groups and 15 elements, including two extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses and five high-refractive lenses, coupled with high-definition nano-multilayer coatings, the lens ensures exceptional image quality. Its STM stepping motor offers both responsive and discreet autofocus functionality.
The lens presents the flexibility of a 27mm focal length, which is equivalent to approximately 40mm on a full-frame camera. Impressively, it boasts a minimal focusing distance of just 0.28 meters.
In terms of durability, the Viltrox 27mm F1.2 Pro XF lens is equipped to withstand dust and splashes, making it weatherproof. Its 27mm focal length, akin to the human eye’s angle of view, renders it ideal for urban, human, landscape, and portrait photography.
