Stylish alternative portraiture
The Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.4 is a compelling alternative to the original Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS, which hit the market back in 2012, and can also be seen as a competitor to the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary. This third-party lens offers an attractive combination of style, quality and functionality.
Ideal for portraits
Taking into account the 1.5x crop factor, the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.4 offers a classic focal length for portraits, approaching the “reference” 85mm. It's an ideal choice for portraiture as it allows you to achieve harmonious facial proportions and make your subject stand out from the background with its fast f/1.4 aperture and 9-blade aperture design.
Autofocus accuracy
The lens has a durable metal body and two control rings for manual focusing and electronic aperture control. The STM stepper AF motor provides reliable and accurate focusing, including eye focusing, although it can be slightly noisy compared to similar products.
Picture quality and convenient features
The Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.4 provides excellent sharpness in the center of the frame even at its widest aperture and creates beautiful bokeh. Chromatic aberrations at open apertures do not become critical and are easily corrected in post-processing. In addition, the lens is equipped with a microUSB port for firmware updates, and its price remains very attractive compared to its competitors.
