When Viltrox announced they’d launch the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 Pro AF X mount lens in Q2 of 2023, you guys asked me especially one question: how big will this lens be?
So I did what I have to do: try to answer your questions.
And today we can give you a very accurate answer: we can share the very first images of the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 XF Pro autofocus lens.
And not only that, we can also share them side by side with the new Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 PRO XF lens.
But as much as I love the pancake size and the terrific portability of those lenses, I would love to have a very fast 27mm alternative to those lenses. And the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 seems to be just that.
We recently reported that Viltrox has officially teased the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 for Fujifilm X coming soon.
Now, according to information leaked overseas, the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 will get the “PRO” badge, so we can expect it to be optically on the higher end as the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Pro for Fujifilm X mount.
This does not come really surprising, given the same fast aperture, but never give anything for granted ;).
Viltrox is teasing their lens roadmap for the second quarter of 2023.
The roadmap includes the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 XF for Fujifilm X mount.
Let us know in the comments what you think about it. As a lover of the 27mm focal length myself (and owner of two 27mm lenses, this one and this one), I am definitely looking forward to see how this new Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 will turn out to be.
