Opical limits posted its full review of the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 Pro, which you can read in full here or check out the excerpt below. Viltrox has established a strong reputation over the years, and its pro lenses are among the best and most affordable options on the market.

Optically, the lens is excellent with a few caveats. The sharpness is generally very good to excellent. Lateral CAs are very low…  lack of auto-correction for image distortions and vignetting… both aspects are reasonably well managed, and removing/reducing this manually shouldn’t be a big deal.. bokeh is very pleasing in terms of background and out-of-focus highlight smoothness. Axial CAs can be visible in certain scenes..

Pro

  1. Sharp
  2. Superb build quality
  3. Snappy and precise AF
  4. Very pleasing bokeh

Cons

  1. Some LoCAs (axial CAs)
  2. Comparatively heavy
  3. No auto-correction (in X-mount)
  4. No de-clickable aperture ring (in X-mount)
