Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 XF Pro Lens for Fujifilm X

Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 XF Pro Lens for Fujifilm X Summary

The arrival of the Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 XF Pro Lens for Fujifilm X mount heralds the first PRO lens from Viltrox, and is the result of many years of optical experience. The short telephoto prime offers a 115mm focal width (full-frame equivalent) and is designed exclusively for Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless cameras, with fast, precise AF performance, which supports Eye/Face and animal subject detection.

Viltrox has teamed up with Hoya for this pro lens, utilising special nitrate material imported from Japan, which ensures first class optical performance that has been combined with well considered ergonomics for professional handling. Build quality is also high, with high-strength aluminium alloy used throughout the design.

A large maximum f/1.2 aperture allows you to experiment with extremely shallow depth of field and create subject separation, while gathering light even in extremely dark environments. Results are compelling, whether shooting portraits, fashion or weddings, with high resolution, sharp details apparent across the frame from the centre right to the edges. An 11-bladed aperture diaphragm renders beautifully smooth bokeh and silky out-of-focus areas, helping to make portraits pop with three-dimensional appeal.

Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 XF Pro Lens for Fujifilm X in More Detail

Pro-grade optical performance

The PRO lens optical design includes 16 elements in 11 groups, including four high-refractive index elements and three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements. These render high resolution, detailed and well controlled short telephoto results.

Viltrox’s optical design, which includes a high-definition nano-multilayer coating, draws-out every detail and suppresses the effects of chromatic aberration, whilst APO level dispersion correction is also impressive.

Large f/1.2 aperture

The large aperture of F1.2 opens creative possibilities even during the dark of night, with a higher shutter speed and a lower ISO for smoother and cleaner images. This wide aperture also allows you to play with shallow depth of field, focusing on the eyes and minute details in the frame, rendering blurry backgrounds with smooth out of focus areas. When shooting handheld video the large aperture enables you to gather available light for creative and expressive scenes.

Advanced Autofocus performance

The latest STM stepping motor algorithm found in the AF 75mm f/1.2 XF Pro Lens provides the high driving force required for precise autofocus and tracking. Resulting autofocus is fast, smooth, precise and quiet, tracking well even when shooting with an extremely shallow depth of field. The STM also supports better response, lower latency eye autofocus, animal focus and other subject recognition found in Fujifilm cameras.

All-metal lens body with a natural finish

High-strength aluminium alloy has been forged into a pure black matte metal lens body, which is natural, strong and lightweight. The newly upgraded logo draws attention to the Pro designation and its extraordinary capabilities. The lens also features a unique clicked aperture ring design, which delivers exquisitely smooth damping and feel solid in use.

A Precision brass plated bayonet made using a special treatment process, provides a durable lens mount and metal electronic contacts support EXIF transmission between the lens and camera body. Lastly an integrated USB-C port is built-in for simple lens firmware updates.

Robust weather sealing

A professional-level waterproof and dust-proof design reduces the chances of dust and water droplets from entering the lens, perfect for fearless outdoor content creators, who shoot in all conditions.
