What Buyers Say

Viltrox Air AF 25mm f/1.7 Air E 25mm

85 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews

The Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 lens for Fuji X mount is widely praised for its sharpness, fast and quiet autofocus, and excellent build quality relative to its budget price. Users note it resolves 40MP sensors well and produces beautiful bokeh, though some wish it had an aperture ring with click stops and mention it is heavier than comparable lenses. A few isolated issues include receiving the wrong hood and one copy lacking sharpness compared to the Viltrox 35mm Air lens.
