- 【for Fujifilm X-mount】Prime wide-angle lens is designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 35mm equivalent focal length. Due to its physical design, this lens is not suitable for use on the FUJIFILM X-Pro3 camera and may scratch the camera body if attached.
- 【Auto Focus】STM stepping motor enables quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. Additionally, an internal focusing design maintains the overall lens length during use for improved handling and quicker response.
- 【Large Aperture】Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture suits working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field.
- 【HD Nano】Two extra-low dispersion elements reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve a high degree of clarity and color accuracy. Two high refractive index elements help to control spherical aberrations and reduce distortion in order to realize high sharpness and accurate rendering.
- 【Compact and durable】 Integrated manual aperture ring for tactile exposure control; this ring also features an ‘A’ position for automated, camera-based aperture selection. Integrated micro-USB port can be used to update the lens’s firmware.

First of all shout out to Pal2Tech on YouTube for reviewing and recommending this lens.
After shooting with this lens for one week I had a suspicion that my lens was softer than expected when wide open. Every positive review I read mentioned how sharp this lens is, but that was not my experience. Luckily for me Pal2Tech on YouTube had provided sample raw files from the tests he did on his review and I was able to compare those mine. It was evident that my lens was not as sharp.
I went ahead and ordered a second lens to confirm and sure enough my original lens was much softer. I shot a series of pictures, back to back, using the same camera settings and manual focus. The picture I uploaded shows the original lens on the left and the new one on the right. You be the judge, but I see a clear difference.
So this review is to warn others that your unit may or may not be what you expect, and I suggest you test out your lens before choosing to keep it.
However, despite all that, I am still giving this lens 4 stars. Now that I have a sharper unit that is more in line with the other reviews I’ve read, I think this lens is great for the price. Good image quality, color, bokeh, fast auto focus, and solid build. I wish quality control was a little better but overall I am happy with this purchase.

My go to lens for the past 7 years has been the Fuji 35mm 1.4. i was kind of hesitant to add this to my kit, but found that in low light and fast moving scenarios at weddings, this lens vastly outperformed the 35mm in regards to locking autofocus, and getting the shot. When the dance floor was packed, and the light was very dim, i simply couldn’t get the 35mm 1.4 to lock on… however the viltrox did, nearly all of the time. The lens is sharp, fast and in my experience very reliable. The only thing I didn’t like was the click less aperture, but that i could live with, especially regarding the benefits and the low cost compared to the Fuji 23mm 1.4. highly recommended.

As a hobbyist, I don’t need (and can’t afford) a $900-1000 fujinon lens. At a third of the original price, I purchased this lens with same specs. This lens works very well, with great outfocusing and capturing light very well even in indoors. Autofocusing works well too! I’m so delighted that I can still benefit from a high quality prime lens at a fraction of the original price. All of a sudden my random photos of objects and family members taken at home come out like high quality studio photos. Thanks to Viltrox I will be able to fulfill my dream of collecting all three 35 50 85mm prime lenses! I will be purchasing another one soon 🙂

I got this as a backup for my fuji 23 and a a travel lens. I am really impressed with the build quality, pretty solid and metal. Seems to focus just just fine & has enough sharpness for me. Its really impressive when you consider it’s really not that expensive for a 1.4 lens. I am very happy with it.

I wanted to love this lens. I read so many positive reviews about its sharpness. I shot with it for a full day and couldn’t wait to get home and review the pics in Lightroom. I shoot with a Fuji XH2 and I am a professional photographer. I was so disappointed in the images. About 2/3 of them had to be discarded because they were too soft to use. Regardless of the aperture I used, the images were soft. Yet, others were incredibly sharp! It was hit and miss with this lens. On the positive side, it focus very fast. Maybe I just got a defective unit. I don’t know. I returned it today.

A Well made Lens and i was able to produce some great images with a nice colour rendition om my Fuji X-Pro 1
I have to admit i was on the fence a bit as to the Fuji version Tokina version or this one
after doing some research it looks as though the Tokina and the Viltrox are one and the same lens albeit with different markings .The Viltrox is a nice price and that swayed me in the end ,so for most users out there i would expect you like me would be perfectly happy ..

You need to understand that I own or have owned many Fuji lenses including their top-of-the-line Red Badge lenses. I owned both the Fuji the 23 F/2 and 23 F1.4. I rejected one for being too slow and noisy and the other for being too soft.
This lens is fast to focus, sharp and quiet. The manual focus is superb- and I’m an old guy who used manual focus lenses on 35mm and medium format for years.
Chromatic aberration- yes it has some but so do my Fuji lenses. I read the reviews about the chromatic aberration so I tried to create some. I could demonstrate some chromatic aberration but when I thought about how hard I had to work to create it, I realized most people would NEVER notice. I also intentionally created some uncorrectable purple fringing, but I had to over-expose a lot to make it happen. I even did some photos of a black wrought-iron fence in snow to check out the fringing. No problems.
I’ve been doing this for a long time – no lens is perfect. This lens is a good purchase.
Picture: High contrast, no chromatic problems. Also extremely sharp.
All in all, I’m keeping this one after rejecting the Fuji alternatives.

I purchased this about two months ago and have been using it off and on with an X-T4 body. From a photography perspective if I am framing a single shot or using AF-S mode it works flawlessly. Things start to go a bit south when we move to AF-C or movie mode. It will pulse, flutter or ‘breathe’ like crazy – it will show the green box around the subject – but the background will keep going into and out of focus – I have tried this from 1.4->2.8 and it looks like the same behavior is seen. If the subject stays VERY still it seems to be ok (sometimes)
This becomes especially apparent if the scene has something very readable as it goes from nicely out of focus to basically in focus.
For reference I have tried this with the 1.0.9 firmware it came with and the newer 1.1.2 firmware available for download on their website.
