Viltrox EVO 85mm F2 FE Review - DustinAbbott.net

Photographer Dustin Abbott shares an in-depth review of the Viltrox EVO 85mm F2 FE compact prime lens for full frame Sony mirrorless
dustinabbott.net dustinabbott.net

Strengths:
  • Outstanding sharpness and contrast, especially wide open at F2
  • Compact, lightweight, and well-built with a feature-rich design (declickable aperture, programmable button, weather-sealing hints)
  • Excellent value for the price, offering performance comparable or superior to more expensive alternatives
  • Good autofocus performance for stills and smooth video AF, along with minimal flare and good resistance to optical issues
Weaknesses:
  • Limited weather sealing, possibly only partial at mount and front element
  • Some vignette and corner softness at wider apertures requiring correction
  • No lens-based stabilization, reliance on in-camera stabilization
  • Autofocus motor, while good, is not as silent or fast as higher-end focus systems (e.g., HyperVCM)


Pros:​



  • Both compact and feature rich
  • Offers more than the competitors for less
  • Some weather sealing
  • USB port for firmware updates
  • Clean and elegant design
  • STM focus motor delivers fast, quiet, and accurate autofocus
  • Focus pulls are nicely damped
  • Comparatively low focus breathing.
  • Exceptionally sharp lens that competes with the very best
  • Extremely sharp across the frame at smaller apertures
  • Little distortion
  • Solid control of fringing
  • Colors look great
  • Amazing contrast
  • Gorgeous bokeh
  • Amazing price to performance ratio

Cons:​

  • Slightly slower maximum aperture than competitors
  • Fairly heavy vignette

Ακόμα περιμένουμε τον 2x Teleconverter που έχει βγει φήμη για αυτόν αν δεν κάνω λάθος την άνοιξη.
Είχαν πει για Ζ mount και έβγαλαν μια φωτό τώρα ως πρώτη του εικόνα και λέει για Sony E... Ελπίζουμε να είναι και για Ζ εξαρχής.. όταν και αν με το καλό βγει..
