Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 PRO APS-C Sony E

With a consistently professional optical design, the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 PRO APS-C (Sony E) delivers a strikingly high resolution from centre to edge, meeting the demands of higher-megapixel cameras. Even with extensive post-processing or enlargement, it retains incredible image detail and renders a sharp, clear picture.

The impeccable bokeh of the f/1.2 large aperture delivers a more layered image through a shallow depth of field, creating a dreamy background blur for a captivating subject with crisp clarity.

The greater light intake of the ultra-large f/1.2 aperture promises faster shutter speeds and lower ISO, resulting in refined, detail-rich images in both low-light and well-lit environments — making every shot stunning.

The precisely engineered optical design of 13 elements in 8 groups ensures sharpness from edge to edge, even at the maximum aperture of f/1.2, revealing phenomenal detail and clarity. Onion-ring bokeh is suppressed for smooth and natural bokeh rendering, thanks to the use of 1 UA (Ultra Precision Aspherical) element. 1 ED element effectively corrects axial chromatic aberration, delivering sharp images free of colour fringing. Meanwhile, the 3 HR elements strike the perfect balance between portability and optical excellence, making this lens a natural choice for compact APS-C camera systems.

Viltrox's patented HyperVCM motor gives this large-aperture f/1.2 lens faster response and improved focusing precision, while effectively reducing vibrations for smooth and silent autofocus when driving large lens groups. This makes it possible to capture decisive moments when shooting fast-moving subjects.

The 56mm f/1.2 portrait lens (equivalent to 85mm on a full-frame sensor) delivers razor-sharp subjects that effortlessly stand out against beautiful, dreamy bokeh. The f/1.2 ultra-large aperture is ideal for expressive portraits, creating stunning depth and layered dimensionality for a captivating artistic impact.

An excellent minimum focusing distance of 0.5m produces professional, high-resolution images rendered in beautiful detail and texture. Combined with the superior f/1.2 large aperture, subjects stand out effectively for stunning close-up portraits and still-life shots.

The matte black finish is scratch- and wear-resistant, while high-quality rubber seals provide protection against dust, splashes, and moisture — ensuring reliable performance in both studio environments and challenging outdoor conditions. The front element features a water- and smear-resistant coating, so droplets and fingerprints won't interfere with your shot, and cleaning is effortless.

The all-metal body is crafted from a high-strength forged aluminium alloy, offering excellent rigidity, long-lasting ease of use, and a premium, professional feel.

Minimal focus breathing ensures natural, professionally polished focus transitions, guaranteeing consistent framing when shifting focus — an ideal choice for dialogue scenes and close-ups, or whenever inspiration strikes.
