Viltrox today announced the groundbreaking AF 35mm F1.2 LAB, a lens designed to shatter expectations of optical performance. Engineered for professionals and enthusiasts alike, this flagship prime lens combines ultra-fast autofocus, flagship-level resolution, and cinematic bokeh in a robust, feature-packed design.
Key Features
1. HyperVCM Motor: Speed Meets Precision
Powered by Viltrox’s proprietary HyperVCM motor, the lens achieves 150% faster focus than traditional STM systems, with micron-level accuracy and lightning-fast 100ms near-far focus transitions. Ideal for capturing fleeting moments in portraits, events, or dynamic video work.
2. Flagship Optical UA Lens Design
With Ultra-Large & Precision Aspherical Elements, the lens delivers edge-to-edge clarity even at its blazing-fast F1.2 aperture. Designed for ultra-high-pixel sensors, it resolves intricate textures—skin pores, hair strands, fabric weaves—with stunning fidelity, whether shooting close-ups or infinity landscapes.
3. F1.2 Ultra-Large Aperture: Master of Bokeh
Create cinematic depth with lush, dreamy backgrounds and pristine highlight rendering. The F1.2 aperture isolates subjects effortlessly, transforming chaotic scenes into gallery-worthy compositions—perfect for portraits, astrophotography, or low-light storytelling.
4. Macro to Infinity: Seamless Sharpness
A 0.34m minimum focus distance and 0.17x magnification unlock macro capabilities, while the dual floating internal focus system ensures real-time aberration correction. Edge-to-edge sharpness remains consistent from intimate close-ups to sweeping vistas.
5. Advanced Optical Construction
15 elements in 10 groups—including 2 UA lenses, 5 low-dispersion elements, and 3 high-refractive-index elements—combat chromatic aberration and flare. Even in harsh lighting, the lens maintains premium color accuracy, dynamic contrast, and near-zero purple/green fringing.
