What Viltrox 27mm F1.2 Pro owners say

“The Viltrox 27mmf1.2 is around that focal length and is quite great.”

“Viltrox 27mmf1.2 pro. sharpness on par with the new xf23mmf1.4. The only downside is the size and weight(600g), it weighs more than XT5. It is cheaper than original modern primes but offers same quality.”

“I felt 27 (40 equivalent) was not wide enough for indoor/easily framing multiple people, making 23 more versatile + the lens would be much heavier and I knew I would never use it because of that.”
