During last year's PhotoPlus Expo, Viltrox announced that they have begun designing and manufacturing their own camera lenses. Up until that point, the Chinese company was known principally as a manufacturer of photography accessories as well as lens adapters.
As we had already reviewed the ultrawide Viltrox PFU RBMH 20mm f1. 8 ASPH lens previously, the focus of this review will instead be on the other lens that Viltrox announced during PPE: the portrait-centric Viltrox PFU RBMH 85mm f1. 8 for Sony FE Mount. Housed within a brass body, the Viltrox 85mm f1. 8 feels sturdily built in hand. While you can adjust the aperture of the Viltrox 85mm f1. 8 using your camera's aperture dial, focusing is a completely manual affair. Aggressively priced at just under US$300, the Viltrox PFU RBMH 85mm f1. 8 for Sony Full Frame Mirrorless is certainly worthy of consideration for any portrait photographers on a budget. Read on to find out how well the freshman lens maker fared. . thephoblographer.com
