VILTROX PRO 75mm f/1.2 f1.2 Fuji x Mount APS-C Prime Lens for Fujifilm X Mount Camera X-T5 X-H2 X-H2S X-T30 II X-T4

I compared the Viltrox, TTartisan, and Fuji 56mm's, and this was the winner. The Fuji is an incredible lens and will come out crisper, have better low light, softer bokeh, and much better build quality, but that's to be expected of something that costs 6x more. For the non-professional, this or the 56mm f1.4 are without a doubt the best value lens in this range. General notes when comparing the Viltrox 56mm f1.7 to the TTartisan 56mm f1.8: - Both are very good in normal well lit conditions. - The TTartisan is a bit heavier and has better feeling materials, but this is an indoor lens for me and I prefer the lighter, less top heavy Viltrox. - The TTartisan is quite a bit louder and has more difficulty autofocusing. - The TTartisan produces what I would call an artificial boost to every image. I prefer the more natural less processed look of the Viltrox, but I also take edit all photos that I use. - The bokeh with the Viltrox is softer and overall better, in my opinion. After a weekend of testing, this is the value 56mm that everyone should own if you're in the market. If you're on a budget, go for the TTartisan as I would say that's 95% as good. If you have limitless pockets, get the Fuji as it really is the all around better product.

Using on my Fuji X-T50 and this is my FAVORITE lens. By far. Absolutely stunning photos and of the highest quality. AMAZING for portraits but also incredible for landscape/cityscape/product photography. Absolutely a no brainer for the price too! Cannot recommend enough! All metal and feels like pure quality. Slightly heavier but that’s good! Noise is a non-issue. Super easy to use and get sued to as well! It’s a 75mm so obviously you have to step back a little ways from your subject, but it’s not that big of a deal at all! That being said, GO BUY ONE NOW! You won’t regret it :)

This lens blew my expectations and was worth every penny! It features excellent autofocus, build quality, and sharpness, and its title of "bokeh king" is deserved, with smooth and creamy backgrounds. It is sharp even at f/1.2, and I have consistently been impressed by the image quality for all uses. Although it is a bit heavy, it is well-built and feels solid when shooting -- the metal build and weather sealing provide peace of mind. The aperture ring on this lens is something I found myself missing on its earlier lenses, and is very convenient when shooting. I have found myself taking this lens out regularly now with my 18-50mm zoom, and it has been perfect for portraits, low-light environments, and whenever I need the extra reach! Overall, the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 is a great lens for the price. If you are looking for a fast, sharp, and affordable lens for your Fujifilm X-mount camera, the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 is a great option.

Final update, October 2022: excellent lens for Astro and general daily use. I do really love it. I would quickly replace it with another if I happened to lose it. May 16 edit: Coming back a bit earlier than previously stated just to say that this lens is pretty awesome. I want to support the manufacturer for creating such a unique lens for the X-Mount. For being an UWA lens, it's surprisingly sharp. And the colors I'm getting from it 🤌 muah! The build quality is similar to Fuji -- it's good. The usability is high. I don't regret my purchase and will still update this review on/after June 11th as promised. Original review: I will update this review on/around June 11th. This is my first impressions review after unboxing and quick testing and is in no way a full review of the lens. First impressions are good. It was boxed well, it fits snuggly on the camera, it feels sturdy, and there doesn't seem to be any obvious optical issues. Spot autofocus works, manual focus is smooth, and the aperture ring feels nice. The software of the lens was compatible with the camera out of the box, and the camera reacts to the aperture and focus rings instantly and seamlessly. The lens is also a bit lighter than expected, which is nice for an all metal lens. The hood is also metal. I wish this lens was weather resistant as I'm an outdoor all-weather shooter. I understand that Viltrox doesn't have the dev resources of Fujifilm though, and had this been produced by Fuji it would cost easily over $1,000. So I won't fault Viltrox for this.

I agree with everybody else about the sharpness of this lens. It is also a great value. AF performance is mostly good on my xpro3. I use it for club music performances and it’s a very useful focal length that allows for unique compositions. However there is no escaping the size. It is a really big lens.

As a hobbyist photographer using a Fuji X-T3, I was searching for an affordable prime portrait lens and decided on the VILTROX 56mm F1.7 Fuji XF. It has exceeded my expectations. This lens is lightweight, making it ideal for extended shoots. Its image quality is impressive, with sharp details and stunning bokeh that enhances portraits beautifully. The f/1.7 aperture ensures excellent low-light performance, allowing versatility in various conditions. Although it lacks a physical aperture ring, the electronic adjustment is intuitive and easy to use. Autofocus isn't the fastest but performs reliably for portraits and handles moving subjects with minimal issues. Overall, the VILTROX 56mm F1.7 is an outstanding value for any Fuji photographer seeking quality and affordability.

Fantastic Value — Sharp, Fast, and Beautiful Bokeh!

I bought the 35mm Air first, this one second, and then the 25mm. All perform really well on the 40 MP sensor in the X-H2. What's in focus is incredibly sharp. Eyelashes even look crisp. Great value.

Viltrox, con la serie PRO...semplicemente tanta robba! Obiettivo spettacolare, costruito con materiali di pregio e dalla resa superlativa. Recensioni approfondite ce ne sono moltissime in rete quindi non mi dilungherò. Semplicemente, acquisto stra consigliato per gli amanti di questa focale...a questo prezzo...imbattibile. Brava VILTROX

Superb performance. Perfect focal length for landscapes for me. Sharp enough as long as you are not right at minimum focus distance. This focal length is also wide enough such that you could take a selfie if you're into that. Much more comfortable than a 16mm. I keep a high quality cpl filter on for most uses. Normal filter thread size is a big plus here.

55 ans d'expérience photos et ayant eu des objectifs d'exception, je puis pour assurer que ce Viltrox 56mm F1.7 est absolument incroyable de piqué et de contraste. Dès la pleine ouverture F1.7 sur l'intégralité du champ , du centre à l'extrême bord ....aucune différence. Les plus infimes détails sont restitués avec un piqué et un contraste si élevé qu'on se frotte les yeux pour le croire. Si en plus on ramène celà au prix sachant qu'il y a 20% de TVA , 10% de taxe de douane...imaginer le prix sortie d'usine...alors ...c'est fabuleux. La fabrication extérieure n'est bien sûr pas au niveau d'un Viltrox 13mm F1.4 ou le 75mm F1.2 Pro tous deux magnifiquement construits , c'est tout de même bien fini sans fioriture. La monture est en métal bien entendu. C'est livré avec un petit pare soleil et une pochette en tissu très doux...attention typiquement Viltrox. Important , mes premiers tests ont été effectués avec le Fuji X-S10. J'ai vu un test très poussé de Mr Dustin Abbot avec le Fuji XH2 de 40 millions de pixel et ce Viltrox 56mm F1.7 ne fléchit absolument pas , piqué/ contraste au Top jusque dans les angles du champs et aberrations chromatiques imperceptibles alors qu'un tel capteur aussi superpixelisé ( 40 MPX en APSC ) exige les objectifs aux performances les plus stratosphériques et peu d'objectifs sont capables de tenir les 40 MPX en APSC ! J'attendais qu'on puisse l'acheter en France. Aux USA c'était déjà possible et en plus pour eux il est encore moins cher ! Top Top achat ! Indispensable !

great lens works beautifully

I bought this lens to try out the focal length paired with my X-T30 II. Build quality is fine for the price, mostly plastic but feels solid. It's nice and light on my compact camera. Manual focus is smooth. Photos look great, sharp from wide open with pleasing colours and contrast. Autofocus seems fine for my uses however I don't use this setup for video so I won't comment in that regard. Overall I'm very happy with this lens and it represents great value for money. Good work Viltrox!
