[Beautiful bokeh with a large F1.4 aperture] This large-aperture, prime standard lens is compatible with full-frame cameras. The 50mm F1.4 lens delivers soft, beautiful bokeh and a sense of distance and atmosphere, perfectly capturing the subject. Its excellent balance of focus and bokeh ensures natural, deep detail in portraits, everyday snapshots, and striking lighting for creative photography. The bright F1.4 aperture also allows for stable shooting even in low-light conditions.
[11 Groups, 15 Elements, High-Resolution Design] The lens features a luxurious optical design with 15 elements in 11 groups, including three ED lenses, eight HR lenses, and one UA ultra-high precision aspherical lens. It effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, distortion, and peripheral vignetting, delivering sharp, clear images to every corner of the image. The sharp resolution at the focal plane and the natural, smooth bokeh that extends in front and behind the image beautifully blend to bring out the subject's full potential.
[Fast, Quiet, and Precise AF. Hyper VCM Focus] The proprietary Hyper VCM focus motor delivers fast, precise, and quiet AF. It smoothly focuses on both stills and videos, capturing the decisive moment. *Due to the structure of the VCM motor, it may make noise when shaken when not powered. This is normal and reduces noise when powered.
[Intuitive and Excellent Operation] The stepless aperture ring is ideal for video shooting. The CLICK switching mechanism allows you to choose whether or not to have a click feeling, allowing you to adapt to your shooting style. Furthermore, the lens is equipped with two custom FN buttons and an AF/MF switch, and its practical design provides operability that meets the needs of professional photographers.
[Firmware Updateable] The metal mount is equipped with electronic contacts and a USB-C terminal. Lens firmware can be updated via the Viltrox Lens PC client software. Always maintain the latest performance for peace of mind. The latest lens firmware can be downloaded from (viltrox.com/pages/download-center-1). Compatible with both Windows and Mac.
The AF 50mm F1.4 FE, Viltrox's first Pro line lens, is a large-aperture standard lens with an F1.4 aperture. The 50mm focal length, ideal for portraits, combined with the brightness of F1.4, produces beautiful bokeh that brings the subject to the foreground and creates a three-dimensional image. The focal plane is delicate yet sharp, while the background appears to melt into a natural, ethereal glow, resulting in a shot that captures the light and atmosphere. The lens construction is comprised of 15 elements in 11 groups. Generous use of ED lenses, high-refractive index lenses, and ultra-high-precision aspherical lenses thoroughly suppresses chromatic aberration, distortion, and peripheral vignetting, ensuring high image quality and clarity throughout the frame. Furthermore, the single-group floating focus mechanism maintains image quality even at close distances and automatically corrects the image plane according to the focus position. The focus is driven by Viltrox's proprietary HyperVCM focus motor. The highly efficient drive provided by the two VCM units significantly improves the speed and accuracy of focusing compared to the conventional STM system. Focus movement is fast, taking approximately 100 ms from the shortest focus to infinity, allowing for stress-free shooting of both still images and videos.
The lens's position is controlled to the micron level, enabling reliable focusing even with a shallow depth of field. Its design, focused on videography, includes a stepless aperture ring, click-switch mechanism, two custom Fn buttons, and an AF/MF switch. The linear response, especially during manual focus, is ideal for delicate focus adjustments during video recording. The metal lens barrel is highly durable, and its dust- and splash-proof design ensures peace of mind even during outdoor shooting. The front lens element is also coated with a waterproof and dirt-resistant coating. Furthermore, the lens mount features a USB-C connector, allowing for easy online updates of the lens's firmware via the official Viltrox PC client software. This allows for flexible support for future feature additions and compatibility improvements.
Q&A (Frequently Asked Questions) Q: When I shake the lens, I hear a rattle noise inside. Is this a malfunction? A: Due to the structure of the VCM motor, moving parts may move before power is applied. This is a specification and not a malfunction. Once power is applied, they will lock in place and will not interfere with shooting. Q: Can I set the Fn button on the AF 85mm F1.4 Pro using a smartphone app? A: This product is not compatible with smartphone apps, and Fn button customization depends on the settings on the camera body. Q: Is the aperture of this lens controlled by a VCM motor? A: No. The AF 50mm F1.4 Pro uses a VCM motor for focus, but the aperture drive is controlled by an STM motor.
