OVERVIEW
First AF APO Standard Prime at F1.8
Built around a precision APO optical design and enhanced with extra-low dispersion elements, the lens brings red, green, and blue wavelengths into precise alignment on the same focal plane.
No Color fringing. Just true detail.
Even in extremely high-contrast scenes, chromatic aberration stays beautifully controlled, suppressing distracting color fringing for a cleaner, purer, more refined image.
From sharp in-focus details to gently diffused backgrounds, every tonal shift feels natural, fluid, and visually seamless — delivering an even more immersive and pristine viewing experience.
Bringing APO to F1.8
Bright F1.8 aperture expands versatility from day to night, delivering clean, low-noise image quality even in indoor, dusk, and low-light scenes. Paired with Viltrox's LAB Series high-grade UA element, it also produces soft, natural bokeh with smooth transitions and pleasing subject separation.
Compact and All-Around
At just over 370g, it stays comfortable for extended handheld use while delivering strong optical performance without compromising its walkaround and travel appeal.
