Pristine Lens

By Lee
Rated 5 out of 5

Pristine lens, works well with my Sony A 6700. Also works well with it's digital zoom.

The hype is real, and sharp.

Okay, I didn't believe the hype about this lens. No way a 1.2 lens can focus ultra fast, and also be sharp. Wow, was I wrong. Even wide open, this lens is without a doubt the sharpest lens I have EVER used. Even zooming in 800%, it's unreal. I'm coming from an old Canon 1.2, with chromatic aberation, color fringing, missed focus at times (and that was a $1200 lens at purchase). 'Upgrade' doesn't even do this lens justice. It's without a doubt the sharpest piece of glass I have ever owned, maybe in existence. At this price too...completely wild. I would buy it 1,000 times over if I could! So glad I took a chance on this brand that I hadn't heard of.

Considering the diameter of the lens, it is not uncomfortable on an X-S10 camera, whose grip protrudes?
Asked by: Luis G6
The Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 lens is not uncomfortable when mounted on the Fujifilm X-S10 camera, which features a large, deep grip that provides ample space between the grip and the lens. The lens measures 82mm in diameter and 92mm in length, weighing 560 grams, but the ergonomic design of the X-S10 allows for a secure and comfortable hold without any obstruction from the lens size or weight. This combination ensures that users can operate the camera effectively while maintaining comfort during extended shooting sessions.
