It’s called color fringing, and APO lens design helps reduce it.
APO = cleaner edges, better contrast, and less editing headache.
Premium APO lenses are usually expensive, but Viltrox brings APO performance to a more creator-friendly price point with the 35mm APO and 55mm APO.

I have a sony a7 iv and yes both firmwares are up to date. I have been getting auto focus issues with the lens while indoors, there is perfect exposure. the lens sometimes hunts for focus, only used spot focus small. Also when reviewing photos and not using back button auto focus the lens motors start spasming. Is anyone else having issues or did I get a bad copy?
With the release of the fantastic looking Thypoch 24-50mm had me wondering if Viltrox is anywhere closer to making a competitor.
If they were to make a hypercompact f/4 covering the same focal length, it'd be the perfect one and done street photography lens. Instant buy.
I want to get the VILTROX 28mm F1.8 FE, but I'm not sure if it's good for talking-head YouTube videos, since this is my first lens and I'm quite new to videography. Some reviews say first-party lenses are sharper, but it seems the VILTROX 28mm F1.8 FE checks all my boxes on paper, so I'm a bit confused.
Any advice would be really helpful
I currently use the Sony A7V body, by the way
I'm considering saving up for this lens. Partially for Astrophotography. And some indoor shots. Can anyone show me some examples and mini reviews?

It's a confirmed rumor that Viltrox will launch a new tilt shift lens, 35mm.

Do you think it be compatible (native mount and so on) with GFX?
Shot this one back in March but only found time to edit it recently. Captured with Sony a6700 + Viltrox 27mm f1.2 Pro. Tracked 5x8 panorama for the skies, each shot at 30s, f1.2 and iso 400. Tracked with MSM Nomad star tracker. For the foreground I shot 4x8 panorama with 30s, f2.8 and iso 1600 for each shot. Stitched in PTGui and PS. Edited in Siril and LR.
Focus is on the eyes. The retinas have so much detail. This lens is incredible. I bought it because i didn't like the rendering of the sony 85mm 1.8, which has been gathering dust.

Shot this project for a hotel bakery shop while I was already in pain because of my appendix. Right after finishing the shoot, I went to the doctor for a check-up. A day later, I was admitted to the hospital due to appendicitis, and days after that, I underwent surgery.
Alle Bilder sind mit dem Viltrox 16 mm 1.8 an meiner Nikon Z8 entstanden. Ein fantastisches Objektiv, mit dem man sehr viel Spaß haben kann, auch wenn es relativ eingeschränkt einsetzbar ist und die passenden Motive erfordert.
Just FYI, due to the small front element diameter, you can very easily use a 58mm > 52mm step down ring and use 52mm filters on all 3 EVO lenses with 100% compatibility. I had standardized on 52mm for some older vintage lenses and was very pleased to find this out! Much happier to use an $8 adapter vs rebuying slightly larger filters.
It’s still produces beautiful images.
Hey all! Trying to decide between the Viltrox 50mm Air and the 55mm Evo for my Sony A7V and could use some guidance from people who’ve shot with either.
Any real-world comparisons or sample shots would be amazing. Thanks in advance!
I had the opportunity to shoot a Gone in 60 Seconds Eleanor earlier this year, I used some other gear but I leaned heavily into the 35 Lab 1.2z and for a couple of shots (Undercarriage and Interior light paint) I used the F14 F/4 Air! All of them except the 2 are with the 35mm.
