Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.4 E Lens for Sony E | Black

Boasting a sleek design, the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.4 E is a compact prime lens tailored for portrait photography, specifically designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. The short telephoto focal length, combined with a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, facilitates significant control over depth of field and proves advantageous in challenging lighting conditions. The optical construction includes extra-low dispersion and high refractive index elements, which work together to minimize various aberrations and distortions, ensuring high clarity, color fidelity, and sharpness.

In addition to its optical features, the lens's design integrates an STM stepping motor that provides rapid, nearly silent, and precise autofocus capabilities, along with full-time manual focus override. The internal focusing mechanism further enhances its swift performance. Moreover, the lens is equipped with a built-in micro-USB port, allowing for future firmware updates. The black finish of the lens complements cameras with a similar aesthetic.

• Prime portrait-length lens is designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras and provides an 85mm equivalent focal length.
  
  
• Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture suits working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field.
  
  
• One extra-low dispersion element reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
  
  
• One high refractive index element helps to control spherical aberrations and reduce distortion in order to realize high sharpness and accurate rendering.
  
  
• STM stepping motor enables quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. Additionally, an internal focusing design maintains the overall lens length during use for improved handling and quicker response.
