This already happened to me before with another pre production sample of a Viltrox lens and the issue was fixed via firmware update, I expect the same here.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The focus ring has decent damping and a linear coupling. No matter how fast you turn the focus ring it always takes 360\u00b0 from the minimum focus distance (0.3 m) to infinity, which is a bit long for my taste.<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>As is the case for many modern AF lenses the focus group moves freely when without power, so when shaking the lens you will notice that focus group moving around. This is normal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_92403\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-92403\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-92403\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_1.4_Pro_FE_hood.jpg\" alt=\"viltrox 35mm 1.4 pro fe af bokeh master gm sony 42mp 61mp a7rii a7riv a7riii a1 a9iii a7rv review resolution sharpness contrast bokeh vignetting coma astrophotography z6 z7 z8 z9\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_1.4_Pro_FE_hood.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_1.4_Pro_FE_hood-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_1.4_Pro_FE_hood-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-92403\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Viltrox AF 35mm 1.4 Pro FE with hood attached<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A petal-shaped bayonet style lens hood is also part of the package.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_92437\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-92437\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-92437\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_50mm_85mm_1.4_Pro_FE.jpg\" alt=\"viltrox 35mm 1.4 pro fe af bokeh master gm sony 42mp 61mp a7rii a7riv a7riii a1 a9iii a7rv review resolution sharpness contrast bokeh vignetting coma astrophotography z6 z7 z8 z9\" width=\"800\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_50mm_85mm_1.4_Pro_FE.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_50mm_85mm_1.4_Pro_FE-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_50mm_85mm_1.4_Pro_FE-768x324.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-92437\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Viltrox AF 35mm 1.4 Pro FE | Viltrox AF 50mm 1.4 Pro FE | Viltrox AF 85mm 1.4 Pro FE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This Viltrox AF 35mm 1.4 Pro is almost exactly the same size as the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-viltrox-af-50mm-1-4-fe-pro\/\">Viltrox AF 50mm 1.4 Pro<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-viltrox-af-85mm-1-4-fe-pro\/\">Viltrox AF 85mm 1.4 Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_92400\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-92400\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-92400\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_1.2_1.4_1.8_Evo_Pro_Lab_FE.jpg\" alt=\"viltrox 35mm 1.4 pro fe af bokeh master gm sony 42mp 61mp a7rii a7riv a7riii a1 a9iii a7rv review resolution sharpness contrast bokeh vignetting coma astrophotography z6 z7 z8 z9\" width=\"800\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_1.2_1.4_1.8_Evo_Pro_Lab_FE.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_1.2_1.4_1.8_Evo_Pro_Lab_FE-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Viltrox_AF_35mm_1.2_1.4_1.8_Evo_Pro_Lab_FE-768x331.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-92400\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Viltrox AF 35mm 1.8 Evo FE | Viltrox AF 35mm 1.4 Pro FE | Viltrox AF 35mm 1.2 LAB FE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Compared to some of the competitor&#8217;s latest 35mm 1.4 fullframe lenses this Viltrox is a bit on the bulky and heavy side though.

Without going too much into technical details optical vignetting leads to the truncation of light circles towards the borders of the frame.<br \/>\nIn the center of the frame almost every lens will render a perfect circle, but only lenses with very low optical vignetting will keep this shape in the corners.<br \/>\nSo in the following comparison we move from the center (left) to the extreme corner (right) and see how the shape of the light circle changes.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav osc-res-nav
