Description — Viltrox 56mm f/1.4
The Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 is a prime lens designed for APS-C mirrorless camera systems with a 56mm focal length and a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture. It is available in Sony E, Fujifilm X, and Canon EF-M mounts, making it accessible to a broad range of APS-C mirrorless users. At just 290 grams, the lens is impressively lightweight for its aperture class, and the 52mm filter thread keeps accessory costs low.
