The new Viltrox AF 13mm f/1.4 lens for Fuji X and Sony E mount is delayed until 2022. Here is some additional information and pictures on the lens from FujiAddict:
- Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 can be useful for vlogging
- Well packed lens
- Nice snap cap and lens hood
- Solid mount with a USB-C firmware update port on the bottom
- Nice manual focus ring and clicked aperture that sounds a little plastic
- f/1.4 to f/16
- 22cm minimum focus distance
- 67mm filter thread
- Little large but only 420g
- Good mix of high-quality plastics and metal
- A lot of people will want to compare this to the Samyang 12mm AF
- This lens is a keeper and even though it is large it still feels good even when vlogging
- Not sure if it would hold up to extreme weather, but it does hold up to abuse well
- Very well made for the price point
- AF is excellent and locks on quickly
- This is close to STM focus throw quality for video
- This lens is super sharp maybe even too sharp
- This is Viltrox’s sharpest lens
- Wide-open it is very usable unless you’re worried about the edges
- Colors render well but a little cool maybe
- Bokeh is ok in the foreground and background
- Not a pixel peepers’ lens
- There is noticeable vignetting wide open that cleans up quickly
- Some distortion
- The lens performs really well stopped down
- The flaws of this lens are only really noticeable up close on the street
- There is some chromatic aberration
- None of this should stop you from buying this lens
- If you’re clinical this lens is probably not for you, but it is a great lens for everyone else
- The price will be about $429 USD but there is nothing that compares to this lens on the market
- The Samyang 12mm f/2 AF is the closest lens to this one, but it Is a very different lens
- Should be great for Astro
- Release pushed back to 2022
New Viltrox AF 13mm f/1.4 lens for Fuji X and Sony E mount coming in November
