Introducing Viltrox AF 135mm F1.8 Lab FE

Full-Frame Large-Aperture Telephoto Exploration Series

 

1. Pinnacle-Level Resolution Performance

The AF 135mm F1.8 Lab FE lens achieves top-tier image quality, fully meeting the resolution demands of high-megapixel sensors. It delivers sharp, detailed reproduction of fine textures such as skin and hair across the entire focal range, with consistent image quality from center to edge, even at the widest aperture.

 

2. HyperVCM Powerful Motor for Superior Autofocus 

Featuring Viltrox's proprietary HyperVCM motor technology, this lens offers a significant leap in autofocus speed and precision, driven by a powerful motor capable of handling heavier lens elements. The result is a faster, quieter, and more responsive autofocus performance, allowing you to capture moments with unmatched clarity.

 

100ms Focus Shift: Achieves focus transitions from the nearest to the farthest points in just 100 milliseconds.

 

3. F1.8 Large Aperture for Dreamy Bokeh

 

a. 11 Aperture Blades: Produces beautiful, smooth, and clean bokeh without onion rings, and significantly reduces color fringing at the edges of the blur. This allows creators to immerse themselves in the harmonious, smooth, and beautiful bokeh that surrounds the sharp focal plane.

 

b. HyperVCM Motor Technology: Provides more precise and efficient aperture control.

 

c. Round Bokeh: The lens maintains rounded bokeh at the center with minimal cat-eye effect at the edges, even at maximum aperture. This makes it ideal for portrait photography, creating stunning, dreamlike background blurs.

 

d. Greater Light Transmission: Ensures clear, pristine images even in low-light conditions.

 

 

4. Efficient Professional Control System

a.The AF 135mm F1.8 Lab FE is equipped with a comprehensive, efficient professional control system, enabling more efficient functional adjustments during shooting and expanding creative possibilities.

 

b.Focus Limiter: Limits the focus range, making it easier to lock onto the subject more efficiently.

 

c.Dual Customizable Fn Buttons: Can be configured for custom functions, including AB focus point switching (requires app adjustment). Suitable for both horizontal and vertical shooting.

 

d.Multi-Function Ring: Switches between aperture control and focus control (currently only aperture adjustment is supported on Sony mounts).

 

e.Click Switch: Allows for tactile feedback when adjusting the aperture.

 

f.AF/MF Switch: Easily toggle between autofocus and manual focus.

 

 

5. Customizable Lens Screen with Startup Animation

a.  The lens screen supports custom startup animations, allowing you to personalize your lens.

Real-time, accurate lens information such as aperture and focus distance can be viewed even in low-light environments.

 

6. Comprehensive Reliability Built to withstand challenges

a.The AF 135mm F1.8 Lab FE offers full durability and reliability against dust, sand, rain, and other harsh conditions.

b. Dust and Splash Resistant Design: Prevents dust and water droplets from entering the lens, protecting its precision internals.

 

c.  Water-Repellent and Anti-Fouling Coating on Front Element.

d.  Magnesium Alloy Internal Structure: Ensures robustness and durability.

 

 

7. Video Performance

a. HyperVCM Motor: Provides quieter focusing, avoiding the noise associated with geared stepper motors, and offers faster focus tracking for video.

 

b. Minimal Focus Breathing: Ensures smooth focus transitions during video recording.

 

8. Outstanding Backlit Performance

a. 4 ED Low-Dispersion Elements & 2 High-Refractive Index Elements: Excellent control of chromatic aberrations, effectively reducing purple and green fringing in high-contrast situations.

b. HD Nano Multi-Layer Coating: Significantly reduces flare and ghosting during backlit shooting.

 

9.Exceptional Vignetting and Distortion Control

Thanks to the superior optical design of the AF 135mm F1.8 Lab FE, the lens ensures even light distribution across the frame, greatly reducing vignetting. It also boasts excellent distortion control, with no noticeable distortion throughout the focusing range.

 

10. 0.72m Minimum Focusing Distance & 0.25x Magnification

Easily handle close-up shooting scenarios, enjoying high-definition image quality.

 

 

11. Application Scenarios

 

Ideal for wedding photography.
