5.0 out of 5 stars Great Compact Lens That Packs a Punch!
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2024
This Viltrox 56mm f1.7 is a fantastic little lens! It’s lightweight, small, and honestly, well-built and even stylish. Super sharp, even wide open at f1.7, and the brightness is impressive. It’s a joy to use, especially because of how low-profile it is. Whether you’re on a budget or not, this lens holds up against the big names like Sigma or even Fuji’s native lenses. Definitely 100% recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good solid option for the price
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024
I like the lens. For the size it is light and although plastic for the body, feels good. I guess I didn't read it correctly or hadn't paid attention, but the aperture if fixed and I'm used to a variable option with my lenses. I bought this one as a inexpensive option to try the 50ish focal length before committing to the Fuji option which is apparently amazing but expensive. I use a xt30 so with the crop factor it means being further away from your subject than I'm used to (the Fuji 35mm F 1.4 is my main lens which I love). Overall if you're on a budget and want this type of lens, I would recommend it. Photos are sharp and since there is not much to play with when taking your photos, you can focus on taking the photo and the subject.

The quality you get for this price is unbeatable. Images are spectacular. Well built. Light, so great for travel. This has become one of my favorites lenses. Do I wish for an aperture ring? Sure. But at this price, I wouldn’t expect one.

Just buy it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic lens!
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2024
Lens is very sharp edge to edge, even shot wide open. Excellent color rendering. Focuses quickly and accurately. Very light weight, great addition to my kit. Amazing little lens and not just for the money. Bokeh is very nice and it really makes the subject pop in portraits. Very happy with my purchase. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rediculous value for a portrait lens.
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024
I own the XF 35mm f/1.4 and the Sigma 56 f/1.4 and that is a cracking lens for the price.
This lens at f/1.7 is ridiculously great value for a portrait lens at this price.
Sharpness is great, though I'm pretty sure the lens focus speed will increase with a firmware update.
Taking everything into context, for the construction, focal length and aperture, I can't believe this only costs what it does.
I'll be watching out for more Viltrox lenses now that they put this one out.

3.0 out of 5 stars QA not up to par just yet
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2024
Pros: Size and Weight, AF speed (for the price), Contrast (better than f1.4 variant), build is as fantastic as plastic can get.

Cons: Hood comes off too easily, random software quirks on my up-to-date XS20, and a VERY snug mount fit.

My first copy was great for a week then it completely glitched my XS20 and caused it to flicker as if it had a short. Did all the tricks as all longtime Fujis know Fujis just sometimes like to stop taking orders. Nothing worked. Every other lens in my kit works flawlessly. From Sigma to XF glass.

Returned for another copy. Will update if the next copy proves to be better and worthy of updating.

QA needs to step up. The thickness of the metal at the mount is borderline too tight to fit on my XS20. This is not a new issue for Viltrox. They had the same issue with the X-Pro3. It got so bad that their glass actually broke the mounts of some X-Pro3 owners.

Buyer beware. Pricing is great, but there may be other issues that lie ahead for this nifty 85mm equivalent.
