Description — Viltrox 27mm f/1.2
The Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 is a prime lens built for Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless cameras, covering the APS-C format. Its standout specification is the f/1.2 maximum aperture, which gives photographers access to a very shallow depth of field and the ability to work in scenes with reduced light. The fixed 27mm focal length places it in the standard focal length range, making it a practical choice for a variety of subjects beyond portraits.
Focus operation is handled by both autofocus and manual focus modes, giving the shooter control depending on the situation. The lens accepts 67mm filters, a size that is broadly available and competitively priced. At 560g, it has a reassuring weight without being burdensome for mirrorless shooters.
It is worth noting that no image stabilization is included, so camera-side stabilization or steady hand-holding will be needed to get the most from the wide aperture in lower light conditions.
