Viltrox S 56mm T1.5 56mm
A T1.5 aperture and 14-blade diaphragm deliver smooth, round bokeh and shallow depth-of-field in low light. Uniform 0.8 MOD focus gears and identical dimensions across the series prevent recalibration when swapping lenses on set. This manual-focus cine lens suits independent filmmakers who need stepless aperture control and a durable all-metal build on Sony E-mount APS-C cameras.
