Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 XF Coming Q2 2023


Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 PRO XF: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

The Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 is one of my favorite new lenses, and now Viltrox is teasing a new 27mm f/1.2 lens for X-mount that will likely be an exceptional value. I hope Viltrox continues to go wider with its f/1.2 lens designs in the future. I would like to see a 10mm to 12mm f/1.2 lens from Viltrox in the future.

B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama

The Fujifilm XT line has had its ups and downs for some, but the latest Fujifilm X-T5 received a gold award from DPReview. As always, you can read the full review here or check out the pro/cons below:

ProCons
  • Class-leading high-resolution image quality with a wide range of JPEG processing options
  • Excellent Raw dynamic range
  • 160MP high-res mode for static scenes
  • 15fps mechanical shutter w/AF
  • Subject-specific AF tracking modes
  • Effective in-body IS allows for handheld video and slow shutter speed stills
  • Versatile dual-hinged rear touchscreen
  • Impressive build quality with plenty of ‘old school’ direct manual controls
  • Highly customizable design
  • Solid battery life
  • Tracking AF and face/eye detect AF lags behind the competition
  • Lackluster video quality (significant detail/rolling shutter tradeoffs)
  • High-res mode requires a trip to your computer for assembly
  • Poor magnified live view experience
  • Not all XF lenses will deliver full promise of 40MP sensor
  • No expansion port for accessory grip

A prime lens like a longtime friend

The wide-angle lens ideal for APS-C mirrorless cameras joins the Contemporary line
High optical performance, F1.4 brightness, and compact enough to carry around every day
With an easy-to-use angle of view of 35mm*, high optical performance, the brightness of a large F1.4 aperture, and a compact and lightweight lens body, SIGMA’s experience accumulated in the Contemporary line has culminated in a lens that is ideal for use with APS-C mirrorless cameras. The lens offers excellent resolution from maximum aperture and the rich bokeh effects thanks to its F1.4 brightness. The lens demonstrates its descriptive power in a wide range of applications, including landscapes, portraits, and tabletop photography. In order to take advantage of the high mobility of mirrorless cameras, compactness of the lens body was also pursued. The SIGMA’s Contemporary lineup includes several compact and lightweight F1.4 prime lenses in the APS-C format, which are surprisingly compact to carry around. If you want to keep your equipment light and small, but not compromise on image rendering performance, this lens is sure to meet your needs, and will be a lens you will never want to let go.
