VILTROX 75mm f/1.2 F1.2 Pro XF Fuji X-Mount Ultra Wide Angle Autofocus APS-C Prime Lens for Fujifilm Fuji X-Mount Camera X-A7 X-S10 X-T200 X-T100 X-T20 X-T30 X-T3 X-T4 X-E2 X-E2S X-E4 Black

This is my favorite travel lens on my X-T5. The focal length is perfect for most subjects and f1.7 is fast enough for almost anything. The lens is sharp even wide open and very lightweight and relatively small. I have the 15mm and 56mm from the Viltrox Air series as well. All fantastic lenses. I can compare these with my more expensive Fujinon 18mm and 33mm LM WR lenses and the optical quality is very close. Last travel to China I left the heavier and bigger Fujinon lenses at home and took the Viltrox 25 instead.

Super fast delivery and it included a free 77mm UV filter, which was appreciated. 75mm roughly translates to a 112mm focal length when you compare it to full frame (1.5 crop). Very useful as it resides between the commonly used portrait focal lengths of 85mm and 135mm equivalents on APSC. This Viltrox lens has incredible construction quality. It’s not too heavy though on my XH2. The center of gravity when attached is easy to handle and much more of a pleasant experience than trying to fumble about with my large Canon RF lenses on my R5. Being a third party lens, I haven’t noticed any issues with the AF on my XH2. It seems to be snappy and locks onto the subject rather quickly. As far as image quality is concerned, I attached some images to this review where you can judge for yourself. I love to shoot wide open, so having the lens go to 1.2 was certainly in my wheelhouse. The bokeh on it is excellent. You’re basically getting 75mm bokeh at a 112mm perspective, which is going to still be a ton of liquidation when viewing focus falloff. rIt’s more football-shaped, which is fine by me. I know many like to compare this lens to the Fuji 56mm f/1.2, but comparing 56 to 75 doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. The compression is different. The closest Fuji comparison in terms of focal length is the XF80mm, but even that only goes to f/2.8 which is a HUGE gap from f.1.2. Therefore, this 75mm f/1.2 is a one of a kind gem with no real comparison being made by Fuji or any third party company. The Viltrox 75mm was super sharp, even wide open. I attached a shot of a model against a bright background to see if chromatic aberrations would be prominent. That shot was unedited with no lens corrections so you can just see how the lens handles those high contrast situations that usually plague portrait lenses. To my surprise, the CA was almost non-existent. That’s pretty rare for a third party lens in my experience. I’m enjoying the 75mm f/1.2 so much that now I’m interested in checking out the 13mm f/1.4.

Had this about a month and a half now and it’s become my go-to on the streets. The 25mm on APS-C gets you close to a 50mm equivalent which makes framing feel really natural — if you’re coming from full frame that’ll feel right at home. Bokeh is lovely and the low light performance is better than I expected at this price point. Night shooting especially has been solid, which for street work matters a lot. No real complaints. It just works and works well. If you’re looking for an affordable fast prime for street or everyday shooting, this is an easy recommendation

Viltrox 56mm f/1.7 Review (on Fuji X-M1) THE TLDR REVIEW: Picked this up as a budget portrait lens for my old X-M1. Despite the camera’s age and weak AF, it performs really well. Build: Solid, a little front-heavy on the tiny X-M1 but manageable. AF: Works fine for stills, struggles in low light and with moving subjects. Image Quality: Sharp even wide open, great bokeh, lively colors. Handles tricky light better than expected. Manual tweaks in bright sun help. Use Case: Killer for portraits/headshots (85mm equivalent), also works for flowers, pets, and detail shots. ✅ Pros: sharp, creamy bokeh, good build, budget alternative to Fuji 56mm f/1.2 ❌ Cons: AF limited by older bodies, front-heavy on small cameras, no weather sealing Verdict: For portraits and engagement shots, it’s a steal. Punches way above its price, especially if you don’t mind working around the AF quirks. THE LONG REVIEW: I picked up the Viltrox 56mm f/1.7 as a budget-friendly portrait lens to pair with my older Fujifilm X-M1. Since the X-M1 doesn’t have an EVF or the latest AF system, I was curious to see if this modern lens would still shine. After a few weeks of shooting portraits, cats, flowers, even some macro-style close-ups, here are my thoughts. Build & Handling The lens feels solid but not overly heavy, which balances surprisingly well on the smaller X-M1 body. The aperture ring clicks in 1/3 stops, though it’s electronic rather than mechanical like Fujinon glass. Focus ring is smooth, and overall it feels better built than I expected at this price point. On a tiny camera like the X-M1, it looks a bit front-heavy, but not in a way that ruins usability. Autofocus On a modern Fuji body, AF would likely be snappier, but even on the X-M1, I’ve found it to be reliable. Eye detection isn’t an option on this body, but the lens still grabs focus quickly enough on static subjects. Tracking a bee in flight or a cat in low light isn’t perfect, but considering my camera’s age, I was impressed it nailed as many shots as it did. It does have some issues in low light. Image Quality This is where the lens really delivers: Sharpness: Wide open at f/1.7, the center sharpness is great. Stopping down improves edges, but even wide open it’s crisp enough for portraits. I do recommend manually adjusting some things in higher sun light days and playing around with manual vs letting your camera and this lens do its thing. I get better shots this way. Bokeh: Smooth and creamy. Backgrounds melt away without the “nervous” look some budget lenses have. My flower and bee shots show just how nicely the subject pops. Color & Contrast: Colors are lively and clean. The greens in woodland shots are rich without looking overcooked, and yellows pop against softer backgrounds. Low Light: In the cat photo by the window, the lens handled tricky light beautifully. Shadow detail is there, highlights don’t blow out, and sharpness holds even with limited light. Use Case This lens shines as a portrait lens. On APS-C, the 56mm focal length works out to about 85mm equivalent, which is the sweet spot for headshots and engagement photos. Flattering compression, subject isolation, and lovely background blur. But it’s also versatile enough for close-up nature work (flowers, insects) and even detail/textures. It’s not a true macro, but the rendering makes small subjects look great. Pros Excellent sharpness for the price, even wide open Creamy bokeh with no harsh edges Solid build, feels more premium than expected Colors and contrast are punchy yet natural Affordable alternative to Fuji’s 56mm f/1.2 Cons Slightly front-heavy on small bodies like the X-M1 AF is limited by older Fuji bodies (not a lens flaw, but worth noting) Electronic aperture ring lacks the tactile feel of Fujinon glass Not weather-sealed Final Thoughts On an older body like the Fuji X-M1, the Viltrox 56mm f/1.7 still delivers excellent results. For portraits and headshots, it’s a no-brainer. Sharp subjects, smooth bokeh, and rich colors make it feel like a much pricier lens. For engagement shoots, it’s exactly the look you want without breaking the bank. While it won’t replace true macro or Fuji’s f/1.2 flagship, it’s an amazing value lens that punches far above its weight.

Great little prime to have in my kit, tack sharp and f1.7 is nice to have in low light. Hard to argue with a cheap, tiny prime with solid AF.

This lens just glitches and freezes with my Fujifilm XT 30. Googled the problem and it advises a firmware update the. VR lens app will not download to my phone and from what I gather may not work anyway, because the lens has a USB-C on it, which indicates it can’t be updated through Bluetooth…

For reference, when it comes to landscapes I shoot on my Hasselblad X2D II 100C, GFX100S II, or A7R VI, but I also own a few APS-C systems from Fujifilm and one of my favorites is the X-M5, a simple tiny yet powerful little underrated camera. Full transparency, I've had issues with Viltrox in the past with autofocus. However, this lens has completely shocked me in a very good way. The autofocus works great, but the impressive part is the image this little thing delivers. Upon tons of research, and looking at MTF charts from lab tests and a bunch of other data, apparently this little lens can not only compete with native Fujifilm lenses 4-6x the price, but when it comes to distortion LoCA and other artifacts, it actually impressively beats them as well. Unbelievable value for the price, but I want to be very careful here in saying "value" because honestly, this should be worth 4x as much for what you get. Kudos Viltrox, I'm back to being a fan again.

I didn’t keep the item because I returned the camera. However I had a hassle free purchasing experience and return experience. This lens is wonderful and I highly recommend this lens.

Very sharp - a great lens for the price .

Ich bin jahrelanger Berufsfotograf und benötige nicht immer das teuerste und beste Equipment. Vor allem dann nicht, wenn ich mobil sein möchte und Gewicht einsparen möchte. Hier kommt dieses perfekte Immerdrauf-Objektiv ins Spiel. Es ist für mich die perfekte "alleound" Brennweite, da es einen 50mm Objektiv an nähesten kommt. Es eignet sich perfekt für Porträts als auch für Ganzkorperaufnahmen aber auch für Street- oder auch Food-Fotografie. Wenn man vor der Entscheidung steht, sich nur auf ein Objektiv festzulegen, dann würde ich dieses hier empfehlen. Es ist perfekt verarbeitet, leicht und dennoch relativ robust. Die Lichtstärke von f1.7 ist top. Bei der offenen Blende von 1.7 erreicht man ein wunderschönes Bokeh und kann den Vordergrund sehr schön vom Hintergrund isolieren. Auch abends bzw bei schwierigen Lichtverhältnissen ist die offene Blende ein wahrer Segen. Das Objektiv ist sehr universell einsetzbar und sollte so ziemlich die erste Wahl sein, wenn man sich eine Kamera zulegt. Die vielen positiven YouTube Reviews sehen das auch so. Es soll übrigens auch für Videos sehr gut geeignet sein, doch das ist nicht mein Parkett. Der Autofokus arbeitet sehr zügig, treffsicher und leise. Ich bin mit dem Objektiv sehr zufrieden und kann es nicht genug loben. Der Preis passt, die optische Leistung ist ein Traum. Ich kann es nicht nur Einsteigern empfehlen, sondern auch Profis, die mobil sein möchten und nicht die Angst haben müssen, falls es mal auf den Boden fällt. Die Preis-Leistung ist hier wirklich sehr gut.

Vraiment très content de cet objectif qui ne quitte pas mon fuji X-T50. C'est l'objectif que j'utilise au quotidien pour faire de la street. La qualité des photos et au rendez-vous pour un encombrement et un poids moindre.

Solid build, sharp. Straight lines not a fisheye which is great. Good value

Excelente lente. Funcionó muy bien con mi Fujifilm xt30 III. La tengo en automático, y funciona muy bien. Así mismo no es de los telescópicos. Busquen reseñas de que tipo de lente necesitan dependiendo sus fotos. La mía es para fotos ocasionales (amateur), paisajes, rostros y de cerca pero no Macro o para captura lejana. 10/10. Si se siente de buena calidad. Trae su funda, sus protectores del lente de ambos lados y nunca he visto uno original pero si ustedes tampoco no se preocupen. Si es para su primer camara y están adentrándose será suficiente si sus fotos con cercanas. Por cierto, si se ven los logos pero son muy pequeños. MG
