Product details

The Viltrox 56 mm f/1.7 for Sony E-mount APS-C cameras is a lens that is appreciated for both its optical quality and its user-friendly features. It offers a balanced combination of performance and portability, ideal for photographers looking for a reliable tool for portrait photography.

This fixed focal length is specially designed for use with Sony E-mount APS-C cameras and is ideal for portraits. It enables a natural representation of the subject and provides effective separation from the background, resulting in aesthetically pleasing portraits.

Thanks to the open aperture of f/1.7, the lens can capture a particularly large amount of light, making it ideal for low-light photography. This aperture also supports a shallow depth of field, allowing the subject to stand out clearly from the background, an effect that is often desirable in portrait photography.

The compact and lightweight design of the Viltrox 56 mm f/1.7 makes it easy to transport and handle. This is particularly advantageous for photographers who travel a lot and value unobtrusive equipment that they can use spontaneously and flexibly.

With the STM autofocus system, the lens ensures fast and almost silent focussing. This is particularly useful when shooting video content or in situations that require a quiet working method.

The integrated intelligent eye detection supports the autofocus in focussing precisely on the subject's eyes, which is crucial for portrait photography. This ensures sharp and expressive results by placing the focus where it matters most.

For its low price, the Viltrox AF 56 mm F1.7 does a pretty good job, at least if you disregard the stray light sensitivity. All in all, the Viltrox AF 56 mm F1.7 is a beautiful, fast, moderate telephoto lens that shows its strengths in all shots where a harmonious bokeh is required.
