  • PositiveThe lens has a high-quality finish and scores points above all for its very good price-performance ratio.
  • NegativeThe gridless adjustment of the aperture ring is unusual for photographers. A third-step grid that can be switched off for filmmakers would be more practical.

The small lens from Viltrox proves to be an affordable alternative with high speed. It therefore fulfils the requirements for use as a "Nifty Fifty" focal length in everyday photography. For photos with an open aperture, compromises have to be made in terms of resolution.
