5.0 out of 5 stars It is a Pro Lens
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024
From the all-metal build quality, thorough weather sealing, and clarity of glass, this lens is professional quality for half the price of native lenses. Lightning fast auto-focus, amazing exceptional photo clarity, and the 27mm (40mm equivalent for my APSC camera) this is the perfect companion for my Sony a6700.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Tac Sharp Lens, Corner to Corner Even at f/1.2
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2024
I love this lens, and its little brother the 27mm f/1.2. This 75mm is a perfect lens for portrait work, taking indoor candid shots of people, or as a small telephoto for landscape. The buttery smooth bokeh that this lens can achieve is to die for and the colors that I get is also awesome. I use it on both my Sony A6700 & A6600. Highly, highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Premium feeling lens, good image quality, but so-so auto focus
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024
I bought this lens shortly before visiting a flower festival, so I had a good opportunity to use this lens with my Sony A6500. The picture quality is pretty good. I also took various pictures of objects in my room ranging from f/1.2 to f/10. This gives you an idea of what the bokeh looks like at f/1.2 as well as what the theoretical max image quality looks like at f/10 and ISO 100. Premium feeling lens with an option to adjust the aperture on the lens instead of only the camera. A minimum focusing distance of 11 in (28cm) lets you get fairly close to objects, but it is NOT a macro lens.

My main gripe with the lens is the auto focus. I understand that the lens is big and bulky. That's to be expected for f/1.2 and having premium construction. However, with the size and weight compromise, you should expect better performance. The image quality may be nice, but the auto focus hunts often even in well to moderately lit locations. I didn't bother to test in dark areas because the auto focus is already struggling with sufficient light. YouTube videos mentioned the focus hunting happening often when shooting videos, but I also see it happening for pictures.

I'm kind of tempted to return this lens, but I'm holding out hope that Viltrox improves the auto focus in a future firmware update. To understand where I'm coming from, I already have quite a few lenses for my A6500. The Sony 11mm f/1.8 has by far the best auto focus that I've used. I would give it a 10/10 since I haven't used anything better. Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 would be a 9/10. Sigma 18-50mm would be 8/10. This Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 would be 7/10. As a bulky prime lens, I think this lens should be at least on par with the Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 (a zoom lens with better minimum focusing distance).

If you need good auto focus, this lens isn’t for you. If you’re ok with dealing with occasional focus hunting or shoot mainly manual, this lens might be worth considering. Look at the pictures I attached and decide for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024
100% love this lens. The autofocus settings thru USB really help out to tailor to your usecase. It misses once in a while with fast moving objects, but for the price this is WOW. The quality of the image even at 1.2 is stunning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, but a little heavy
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2023
Lovely image quality. The aperture ring is very satisfying, you also can set the aperture to "A" and then the camera controls it like any other lens. This lens is surprisingly awesome. It's probably not possible to make it lighter than they did, but that's my only downside.
