Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 Pro Now Listed On Amazon


The Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 Pro is now listed on Amazon. A detail that I have not seen listed elsewhere is that Viltrox Pro lenses have a 3-year warranty in the Amazon listing, but it also mentions if anything happens the first year that, a new lens will be sent to you.

Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 Pro Now Shipping Through B&H Photo


B&H Photo has started shipping the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 AF Pro, but they must have only received a hand full of lenses because I ordered the day they were listed for presale, and mine hasn’t shipped yet. B&H Photo also changed the status from preorder to add to cart. I think this lens is going to be very hard to get with a long line of people waiting for one, so make sure to put your order in if you want to receive one anytime soon. Viltrox also makes some other great lenses which are listed below:
