Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Pro XF Firmware Update Reviews

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

Last month Viltrox released beta firmware 1.01 and later firmware 1.02 to improve the autofocus of the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Pro. It is interesting seeing the comparisons that youtubers have put together because I haven’t really had any issue with the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Pro XF on my Fujifilm X-T5, but it looks to me like video AF performance had the largest improvement. I really can’t wait for more of these ultra fast Viltrox lenses to hit the market because the performance is exceptional for the price and Viltrox keeps making them better.

Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 XF Will Be A Viltrox Pro Lens

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 11, 2023

It has now been confirmed that the upcoming Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 XF will be a Pro lens, so it should match the performance of the Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 PRO XF. I am really looking forward to the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 Pro XF, and I can’t help to think about the future of Viltrox Pro lenses for X mount because Viltrox is quickly becoming a top choice for photographers looking to save a buck without sacrificing image quality.
