OL: Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Review – A Great Value With High Vignetting


Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 XFB&H Photo / Amazon

Optical Limits published its full review of the Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7, and it seems to be one of the weaker AIR series lenses from Viltrox. You can read the full review here or check out the summary below:

At least on 26-megapixel sensors, the sharpness is perfectly fine from f/2.8. At f/1.7, it’s quite usable at least. A 40-megapixel sensor is more challenging, but this applies to most lenses really. Image distortions are on a low level, albeit a bit wavy. The vignetting is a bit on the high side which doesn’t come as a surprise given the compact size of the lens. Sun stars aren’t a big strength…

Pros

  1. Great Value
  2. Quite sharp at medium aperture settings

Cons

  1. High Vignetting for an APS-C lens
  2. Maximum object magnification is just 0.1x
