Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.4 Prime lens (for Fuji)

HOT Texas Loc: From the Heart of Texas
 
Brand new lens out from Viltrox, Thought some of you would like to see some shots from it.

I feel like it's good lens, all metal, even the lens hood, appears to be above average sharp, nice colors, not to bad in weight, maybe a little smaller that the average 56mm lenses out there, feels good on my fuji X-T3.
Well below average price for a lens this good.

Auto focus is fast and spot on, What I don't like is the Non-clickable aperture ring on the lens, I rather have it to click it in place, but I'm sure people who shoot video would like it just fine.
Minimum focus distance is IMO not to good, so I have been shooting flowers with a 10mm AF extension tube, That works just fine, it does have some purple fringe in high contrast area's shooting into the sun but nothing major and easy fix with software.

So here is a few from it, I'm sure I'll get better with it as I learn it, heck I'm still learning my new camera

I hope you enjoy the downloads, Thanks for Looking!!!! And Ya'll come back to see us Ya Hear?

Thanks much Sundar!!! Yes, it's auto focus and they make them for Sony E mount also., I bought it directly from Viltrox $330.00 free shipping and got it in 7 days.

They are very well built, No plastic.
