I guess they were hoping a fullframe equivalent of 113mm f\/1.8 coupled with the raving reviews from the Fuji-X users would be enough to convince me to have a closer look at this lens.

&#8220;Pro&#8221; line up. The build quality and materials are hardly distinguishable from the fullframe <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-viltrox-fe-16mm-1-8-af\/\">Viltrox 16mm 1.8 AF FE<\/a> though, except for the absence of an LC display here.<\/p>\n<p>The aperture ring has 1\/3 of a stop click stops \u2013 which you can declick by using a lever on the right side of the lens.<br \/>\nYou can also set the ring to \u201cA\u201d(utomatic) and let the camera choose the aperture value or to be able to use the camera dial to change the aperture value instead of using the aperture ring.<\/p>\n<p>The focus ring has okay damping and a linear coupling. No matter how fast you turn the focus ring it always takes ~270\u00b0 from the minimum focus distance (0.88 m) to infinity.<br \/>\nWhen you turn your camera off the lens will remember the last focus position and will still be there when you turn the camera on again.<\/p>\n<p>The lens does feature a focus-by-wire system and not the best I have used, as when trying to set precise focus you may notice rather abrupt &#8220;steps&#8221;. I guess most people will mainly use this lens with eye-AF though, in which case this will go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42261\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42261\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42261\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_left.jpg\" alt=\"viltrox 75mm 1.2 af e aps-c e-mount review sony a6700 a6600 a6500 a6000 fuji sharpness contrast bokeh vignetting coma ca loca aberrations\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_left.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_left-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_left-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">AF\/MF switch and lens button<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42262\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42262\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42262\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_right.jpg\" alt=\"viltrox 75mm 1.2 af e aps-c e-mount review sony a6700 a6600 a6500 a6000 fuji sharpness contrast bokeh vignetting coma ca loca aberrations\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_right.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_right-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_right-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42262\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">de-click switch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the left side of the lens there is the lens button and an AF\/MF switch and on the right side a de-click lever for the aperture ring.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42259\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42259\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42259\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_bayonet.jpg\" alt=\"viltrox 75mm 1.2 af e aps-c e-mount review sony a6700 a6600 a6500 a6000 fuji sharpness contrast bokeh vignetting coma ca loca aberrations\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_bayonet.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_bayonet-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Viltrox_75mm_1.2_AF_E_APS-C_bayonet-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42259\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">bayonet with rubber gasket and USB-C socket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As was already the case for the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-viltrox-fe-16mm-1-8-af\/\">Viltrox 16mm 1.8 AF FE<\/a> there are also a rubber gasket and a USB-C socket for firmware updates to be found at the bayonet.<\/p>\n<p>The outer casing seems to be made from a high quality polycarbonate and all markings on the lens barrel are engraved and filled with paint.

call the sunstars these create as fuzzy and not very nice to look at.<br \/>\nBut this is a portrait lens and I am happy they went for a high number of rounded blades instead of doing something stupid that would negatively impact the bokeh as we have seen from e.g. the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-zhong-yi-mitakon-50mm-0-95-iii\/\">Zhong Yi 50mm 0.95 III<\/a> (10 straight blades) or the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-laowa-85mm-5-6-21-macro\/\">Laowa 85mm 5.6 2:1 macro<\/a> (7 straight blades).<br \/>\nIf you want to know more about sunstars have a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/best-lenses-for-sunstars\/\">this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Chromatic aberration<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>lateral<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lateral CA are perfectly corrected, I cannot show you any here.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>longitudinal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Also the way more bothersome longitudinal CA are really well corrected. I took pictures of a lot of shiny chrome and several water fountains in the sun but neither bokeh fringing nor purple fringing is an issue.<\/p>\n<p>If you magnify the chain you can see a hint of green outlining in the background, but I don&#8217;t see anything here that has the potential to ruin your pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Had they put an Apo tag on this lens, I would have not complained.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42343\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42343\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

for the APS-C frame are rare, by which I mean this Viltrox 75mm 1.2 doesn&#8217;t have a real competitor in the APS-C world. Fuji &#8220;only&#8221; has a 56mm f\/1.2 and a 90mm 2.0 for their X-mount, whereas Sony, Canon, Nikon and Sigma didn&#8217;t really bother to produce a similar lens like this at all. They would probably point at their fullframe lenses, but if they are comparable to this Viltrox lens they are far from being as affordable.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore In the past, whenever someone asked me for an affordable longer portrait lens for their APS-C E-mount or Fuji-X camera, I usually recommended the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-viltrox-85-mm-f-1-8-stm-af-pfu-rbmh\/\">Viltrox 85mm 1.8 Mk II<\/a>. But from now on that recommendation will be changed in favour of this Viltrox 75mm 1.2 AF.<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t need a longer conclusion here: the image quality is outstanding, bokeh is nice, the build quality and controls hardly leave something to be desired and even the price is fair.
