Featuring a svelte design the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.4 E is a compact portrait-length prime lens designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. The short telephoto focal length pairs with a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture to help achieve notable control over depth of field and also benefits working in difficult lighting situations. The optical design incorporates extra-low dispersion and high refractive index elements too to reduce various aberrations and distortion for high clarity color accuracy and sharpness. Complementing the optics the lens’s design also incorporates an STM stepping motor that affords fast near-silent and accurate autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focusing design also contributes to quick performance. Additionally the lens features an integrated micro-USB port for making future firmware updates to the lens. The lens’s black finish matches similarly styled cameras.
