The Flagship Choice for APS-C Portraits

Uncompromising High Resolution
The AF 56mm F1.2 Pro (equivalent to 85mm on full-frame) delivers razor-sharp subjects that stand out with striking clarity. Its flagship optical design ensures exceptional detail from center to edge, while advanced aberration control preserves clean, true-to-life color even in challenging backlight or high-contrast scenes - making every portrait vivid and expressive.

F1.2 Bright Aperture
The ultra-fast F1.2 aperture creates exquisite, layered bokeh with smooth transitions from focus to defocus, allowing subjects to stand out against dreamy, blurred backgrounds. Its superior light intake enables faster shutter speeds and lower ISO, ensuring refined, detail-rich images whether in dim light or bright conditions - making every shot vivid and impactful

Fast & Precise Autofocus
Viltrox's patented Dual HyperVCM motor endows this F1.2 large-aperture lens with faster response and enhanced focusing precision, while effectively reducing vibration for smooth and silent focusing performance when driving large lens groups - making it possible to capture vital moments when shooting fast-moving subjects.

Precision-Crafted Optics

Natural Bokeh, True Color
The precisely engineered optical design of 13 elements in 8 groups delivers edge-to-edge sharpness even at F1.2 maximum aperture, revealing phenomenal detail and clarity. Onion-ring bokeh is subdued for smooth and natural bokeh rendering due to the use of 1 UA (Ultra Precision Aspherical) element.

1 ED element effectively corrects axial chromatic aberration, delivering crisp, color-fringe-free images. Meanwhile, the 3 HR elements strike the perfect balance of portability and optical excellence, making this lens a natural fit for compact APS-C camera systems.
