FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Viltrox
launches AF 56mm Ultra-large aperture F1.2 Pro E and XF (APS-C) lenses
Masterful
control of light and bokeh, ideal for powerful portraits
Shenzhen, China,
September 1st,
2025 -
Viltrox is pleased to announce the release of the AF 56mm F1.2 Pro E
and XF (APS-C) lenses. The AF 56mm F1.2 Pro lenses’ professional grade
optical design delivers astonishingly high resolution from center to
edge, taking full advantage of the capabilities of higher-megapixel
cameras. Even after extensive post-cropping or enlargement, the lens
faithfully preserves image detail, with incredible sharpness and
clarity. Ideal for expressive portraits, the F1.2 aperture creates
stunning depth and dimensional layering for a mesmerizing artistic
impact.
F1.2
Large Aperture: Subject highlighting and mastery of light
The F1.2 ultra-large aperture delivers impeccable bokeh, facilitating
more layered images through a shallow depth of field, rendering dreamy
background blur, and highlighting subjects clearly. There is a smooth
transition between in-focus and out-of-focus areas. The large
aperture’s greater light intake allows faster shutter speeds and lower
ISO, delivering refined, detail-rich images in both low-light and
well-lit environments.
Precision
optical design delivers stunning results
The precisely engineered optical design of 13 elements in 8 groups
achieves peak aberration control and onion ring bokeh control even at
1.2 aperture, delivering consistent sharpness and clarity right across
the frame – this is aided by Viltrox’s advanced HD nano coating. The
ultra-large precision aspherical lens works together with an ED
(extra-low dispersion) lens that effectively corrects axial chromatic
aberration, delivering crisp, color-fringe-free images. The 3 HR
(High-refractive) elements strike the perfect balance of portability
and optical excellence, making this lens a natural fit for compact
APS-C camera systems.
HyperVCM
motor for quiet high-speed focusing
Viltrox's patented HyperVCM motor provides faster and more precise
focusing, while reducing vibration for smooth, silent performance –
ideal for quickly capturing shots, and for fast-moving subjects. The
silent operation and minimal focus breathing ensure a smooth and
professional feel for video.
Tough
and durable for all environmental conditions
The lens features high-grade weather-sealed construction with a
high-strength forged aluminum alloy body. The matte black finish and
protective coatings resist scratches, wear and lens contamination,
while rubber seals keep out dust, splashes, and moisture – ensuring
reliable performance, even in challenging outdoor environments.
