Perfect for content creators! (IG: @only4bre TT: @bredigital)
Set name: 15mm F1.7(APS-C)
This lens is worth the hype, I used it on my Sony ZV-E10 and the results were breathtaking. I film fashion, beauty, and skincare content on my instagram (@only4bre) & TikTok (@bredigital) and the quality is insane! The photos are absolutely incredible, I love the way it captures colors and when paired with my Ulanzi flash it’s truly an unstoppable force. Sometimes you can hear the hum of the autofocus but I don’t mind it too much, the lens is pretty lightweight but I wouldn’t consider it compact compared to the kit lens. Super easy to use and perfect if you don’t have much space when filming sit down videos because of the wide angle but it doesn’t have that fisheye effect either! These are my Settings: SONY ZV-E10 Viltrox 15mm F1.7 E 24 MP • 4000 × 6000 • 6.4 MB ISO 50 22 mm 0 ev f4 1/250 s ... show more

Viltrox 15mm, 85mm f2, 50 1.4 Pro
Set name: 15mm F1.7(APS-C)
I purchased the viltrox 15mm 1.7, 85mm f2 FE, and 50 1.4 Pro FE. Viltrox 15mm 1.7: Great lens, fantastic for the price, great quality! Sharp enough for my needs and lightweight. Great walk around wide lens and great for night time. Great for vlogging. I watched YouTube reviews on it which were favorable, I'm happy with my purchase. Viltrox 85mm f2 EVO FE (photo of girl in skates) Heavier with superior build quality than the 15 & 56. Decently sharp lens. Bokeh is nice and smooth. Autofocus is fast and silent. Great value for the price as is the same for all viltrox lenses. Viltrox 50mm 1.4 Pro FE. (Boy in red shirt photos). I upgraded my camera body from a6400 to a7vi so I needed a 50mm. WOW. Amazing build quality and weather sealing. At f1.4 with eye tracking my camera was nailing the focus. Mild vignetting, slightly prone to ghosting/flaring with strong backlighting, but the bokeh is very dreamy. Less than 1/2 the cost of the Sony 50 GM 1.4 it performs VERY well period. So far I’m very happy with my purchase, I think this will stay on my camera most of the time. Now I’m considering adding the viltrox 35mm LAB. ... show more

Very impressive, sharp with dreamy bokeh
Set name: 56mm F1.2 Pro(APS-C)
This is my 4th viltrox lens and 1st of their pro level lenses. I have their 15 1.7, 56 1.7, 85 2.0 EVO, and recently purchased the 56 1.2 Pro to go with my Sony a6400. The my cheaper viltrox 56 1.7 was good, but the bokeh was not as dreamy as what I’m used to coming from Nikon full frame 85mm lens. I was considering giving up on Sony crop body when I found video reviews of the viltrox 56 1.2 with comparisons to the sigma 56. In tests of sharpness, vignetting, chromatic aberration, the viltrox performed very well. The viltrox has excellent build quality and optical performance. Focus hunting was ok. Lens is very sharp at all distances. The bokeh is really why I bought this lens and it delivers. Built quality and weather sealing are very impressive. One interesting note: i was already warned in video reviews that there is a moving element within the lens that slides front to back when you tilt the lens. I don’t notice anything when I’m shooting, but when you’re holding the lens don’t worry if you feel it. Overall I’m impressed and happy with my purchase! ... show more

**Excellent Budget Lens with Minor Trade-offs** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 stars)
Set name: 25mm F1.7(APS-C)
I picked up the VILTROX 25mm f1.7 for my Sony E-mount camera, and for under $200, it's been a solid addition to my kit. **The Good:** This lens punches well above its price point. When you have decent lighting, it produces sharp images with nice depth of field thanks to the f1.7 aperture. It's incredibly beginner-friendly – I had no issues figuring it out right away. The autofocus works reliably and speed is pretty decent, which is impressive at this price range. For anyone starting out in photography or looking for an affordable prime lens, this is a fantastic option. **The Not-So-Good:** The AF motor is audibly loud – you'll definitely hear the stepping motor hunting for focus, especially in quiet environments. This might be an issue if you're shooting video. Another thing to note: there's no manual focus ring on the lens itself. You'll need to adjust focus through your camera's menu/settings, which can be a bit inconvenient when you want quick manual control. Small and portable as well. **Low Light Performance:** In low-light situations, I haven't gotten the results I was hoping for, though I suspect this might be partially due to my camera body rather than just the lens. It's not terrible, but don't expect miracles in dimly lit conditions. **Bottom Line:** For the price, this lens is absolutely worth it. Yes, it has some limitations, but show me another sub-$200 autofocus lens that performs this well in good lighting. If you're a beginner or budget-conscious photographer looking for a solid prime lens to experiment with, I'd recommend giving the VILTROX 25mm f1.7 a shot. **Recommended for:** Beginners, budget shooters, daylight/well-lit photography **Not ideal for:** Video work (noisy AF), low-light situations, those who need manual focus ring ... show more

Updated review-After taking this out a few times, I rate it 'excellent' for quality and value!
Set name: 14mm F4.0(Full-Frame)
I'm updating this bargain lens to five stars, now that I've taken more photographs with it. This wide angle for less than $200 is perfect for my needs. Eliminates me having to do multiple shots with a 28mm lens and stitch them together. You can see a little aberration at the edge. Plus with a protective filter it encroaches on the corners. But that is minor. Update-12dec2025 - I finally took this lens out for a test run. I am amazed at how much more of the scenery I can capture in one shot, versus stitching two shots together when using my 28-70mm lens. However, I've noticed three things, which are NOT a dealbreakers- 1. My camera's autofocus does not lock onto the subject as well, at night, regardless of the mode (center, zone or point focus). Sometimes it just won't lock on. I have to go into manual mode. 2. I noticed a dark area in the corners of the frame. Realized that because of its great wide angle, the rim of the protective filter that I immediately put on the lens, is what is obscuring that part of the picture frame. Which means I have to remove the filter, or I will have to crop a little bit. 3. As stated this lens is NOT weather seals, so I carry a protective cloth, which I keep covering the lens with when I am out in inclement weather. Other than that, it is very lightweight and does a decent job. Here are a few shots I did with it today on a wet rainy day. My main lens is a 28-70mm Sony. However, I have always having to stitch two images together to get the angle wide enough. This Viltrox at less than $200, was rated highway on you tube for its value. So I purchased it on sale here at Amazon for about $160, which left me enough money to by a sky filter and a metal hood and keep the price less than $200. It is F4, so it is not meant to be great for indoor shots. But I will shoot outdoors today. So far, I'm pretty satisfied with it for indoor shooting. ... show more

Great Affordable Ultra-Wide Lens for Tight Spaces
Set name: 14mm F4.0(Full-Frame)
I originally purchased the Viltrox 14mm F4 last minute for a real estate shoot because my 24-70mm wasn't wide enough for some of the interior spaces. It ended up being a great purchase. At 14mm, I'm able to capture significantly more of a room while still getting images that look natural when composed properly. I've since used it for real estate photography, product shoots in tight spaces, wide establishing shots, and even filming workouts in my small garage gym. Autofocus has worked well with my Sony camera, image quality has been impressive for the price, and the lens is compact enough that it's easy to keep in my camera bag. If you're looking for an affordable ultra-wide Sony E-mount lens, especially for real estate, interiors, content creation, or situations where you can't move the camera farther back, this is an easy lens for me to recommend. ... show more

Another fantastic lens from viltrox. They are on a roll!
Set name: 85mm F2.0(Full-Frame)
Much like the other recent viltrox lenses, this lens is another amazing addition to the viltrox lineup. I have owned several of the air series lenses and pro series from viltrox. They are all impressive and well made. This lens is sharp, fast to focus and the image quality is gorgeous from it. The size of it is amazing for an 85mm. I have also owned the sony 85mm 1.8. This lens is sharper to my eyes and is just perfect. I highly recommend this lens. I use it on my sony a7iv. It also tracks super fast. Very happy with my purchase. I have also included a photo of it next to my sony 55mm 1.8 zeiss for comparison ... show more
