Viltrox AF 56mm f1.2 Pro APS-C Portrait Lens Compatible with Sony E-Mount

Create expressive portraits with ultra-bright F1.2 depth, professional sharpness, and flawless colour rendering.

The Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 Pro is a premium APS-C portrait lens for Sony E-Mount cameras, delivering professional-grade image quality in a compact, durable design. With its 56mm focal length (equivalent to 85mm on full-frame), it offers the ideal perspective for portraits, creative street scenes, and cinematic video.

Featuring a flagship optical design of 13 elements in 8 groups, including 1 UA (Ultra Precision Aspherical), 1 ED, and 3 HR elements, the lens achieves exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness, even wide open at f/1.2. Aberrations and colour fringing are precisely controlled, ensuring lifelike skin tones, natural contrast, and pure, vibrant colour in every frame.

The ultra-bright f/1.2 aperture delivers dreamy, layered bokeh with remarkable subject separation and low-light brilliance, allowing you to shoot confidently from golden hour to nightscapes. Designed with Viltrox's Dual HyperVCM Motor, autofocus is fast, accurate, and whisper-quiet, making this lens equally powerful for both still photography and professional video. Video creators will appreciate the minimal focus breathing, ensuring smooth, stable transitions when shifting focus mid-scene. The dedicated Fn button, AF/MF switch, and CLICK aperture switch provide intuitive control for seamless creative operation.

Built to endure every shoot, the full-metal barrel features a weather-sealed design that resists dust, moisture, and smudges. A forged aluminium alloy construction ensures long-term reliability, while the water-resistant front element and brass bayonet mount enhance durability. The USB-C firmware upgrade port keeps performance future-ready, and the 67 mm filter thread offers creative flexibility for portrait and cinematic effects. Whether capturing the subtle beauty of natural light or the glowing tones of city nights, the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 Pro transforms every portrait into art, sharp, luminous, and deeply expressive.
