Pros: All. Sharpness, blur (from full frame!!), color rendition, construction.

Cons: Really..... Finding a counter to such a perspective and at such a price, means being hypocritical or in bad faith.

Opinion: Superb optics both in terms of construction (heavy enough, jerky aperture ring, nice lens hood, excellent grip, feeling of robustness) and in terms of optical performance. I also own a pair of Nikon FFs that I use with the 85 1.4 g Nikkor, with a 135 f2 AI and a (mythical) nikkor 105 f2.5 AIS..... So I really have all the benchmarks for judging a bright portrait lens, and this one, gentlemen, is a portrait lens with flakes and counterflakes. I got it with Fuji bayonet: on the XE I also had the Fuji 90 f2, which plays well with this but (in my opinion) without matching it: the rendering of a close-up at f1.2 is really something magnificent. Even on FF format few, very few lenses are able to return similar results. The autofocus is not lightning-fast, but absolutely in line with the speed and performance of proprietary optics. Someone I read turned up their noses at the weight and size...... which, however, I guarantee you, remain absolutely "manageable", nothing that you cannot take with you. With the reflex I often carry with me the 80 200 2.8 afs Nikkor which in my opinion has splendid colors and blur...... here... that one there, in terms of weight and dimensions, becomes really challenging!

Pros: Image quality, construction

Cons: Weight, minimum focusing distance

Opinion: I have used this lens for months, in sports, with enormous satisfaction. I had some problems with the focusing, sometimes they didn't contact the pins well and you had to re-engage it to make it resume. For the rest, in terms of image quality we are on very high standards. Too bad only for the minimum focusing distance which limits its use a lot; I didn't need it to be a macro as well, but a little less would not have hurt. All in all, for the price, you take home a nice piece of glass and you can overlook some shortcomings of a minor nature, in the face of superb build quality and image.

Pros: Construction ,sharpness,blurred,value for money

Cons: Nada

Opinion: Spectacular.... I have nothing else to say, expecting more means splitting hairs that in photographic creativity what counts is what counts, we thank Viltrox and wait for an equivalent 200 for Fuji................................................................,,...........................................,............. ............ rating10

Pros: Performance, Opening, Lens Construction, Price!

Cons: Weight, plastic hood and I would say little else.

Opinion: I bought the 75 1.2 after thinking for a long time on the unknown weight of the optics as doing especially street becomes a bit penalizing ... In reality the satisfaction is so high that at the moment I have not had second thoughts ... With a camera body with stabilization it becomes a fantastic lens that compared to the price becomes exceptional! Highly recommended!

Pros: Performance, price.

Cons: Cat eye lights backlit but not always.

Opinion: I wanted to take the new Fuji 56 1.2 wr and instead pushed by the great reviews but, not entirely convinced, I bought the 75 1.2 in early June. The hesitations I had disappeared completely once I took it in hand and tried. At the price of about 600 euros you come into possession of a lens that amazes for several reasons starting from a fast and performing AF even at 1.2 low light on X-T5, passing through the wr to get to a really Pro construction from all points of view. The rings are perfect without the slightest hesitation, in short, you have the real feeling of a nice leap in quality like the best Fuji. Brava Viltrox, recommended purchase.

Pros: Focal length, crazy sharpness already at 1.2, contrast, construction, resolution 40 mega, optically perfect (absence of aberrations), ridiculous price in relation to quality.

Cons: Focal length, weight, bulk, half-moon flare.

Opinion: I have prepared a review related to my medium-term experience with this superb optics: https://youtu.be/RXhgbewKSBI. I put the focal length both in the pros and cons because it is a yield that takes time to be tried and understood. I say this because the yield of the blur of this 75 varies so much in relation to the distance from the subject and the subject to the background. For me it is, among the lenses in my possession the most resolving, it is really scary already at maximum aperture. The build quality is at the highest level, for me, even higher than the latest generation Fuji tops. It is really heavy and bulky, even if it grips very well and is perfectly balanced, so it is a perspective that when you mount it you do it because you have a certain idea of what you want to do. It can cover various needs: portraiture, wedding, landscaping and street. For me it is a lens that opens, in the Fuji scenario, to many unique creative possibilities. Strongly not recommended for those who can not stand the flare. The price is really ridiculous when compared to Fuji equivalents. For me it's a nice 9/10.

Pros: impeccable construction, sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture, autofocus in afs like Fuji's top lenses, in afc more than good tropicalized, price

Cons: vignetting up to f2 but nothing striking, the diaphragm ring even if very precise is not "frictioned" like the red of Fuji but not so much as to change opening by mistake

Opinion: I bought it both for the reviews read, and because I have the viltrox 13 1.4 which for me is a perfect lens today first portraits and I must say it is better than I thought Coupled with XT5 produces files full of detail and contrast at any aperture, very reliable and fast autofocus Viltrox with this lens has raised the bar both as construction (it is also tropicalized and unfortunately the 13 no) and for quality under every point of life the blurred for me me is very "pictorial", the detail "maybe" too much, I do not see any chromatic aberration even in the most critical shots I have never had the joy of trying the 56 1.2 wr of fuji (lens that I know for sure PERFECT), but I do not think it is 2 times better than this lens as it is unfortunately the price Congratulations to Viltrox for these 2 last lenses I highly recommend it Greetings

Pros: Sharpness, construction, contrast, top optical quality, cost.

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: SIMPLY FANTASTIC OPTICS, with an unbeatable value for money, very sharp even at f1.2Built like the best lenses on the market, so much stuff ..! Highly recommended I had many top lenses and worked with Nikon, Canon, Full Frame Now I use Apsc and the XT5 combination with this lens is high, blurred very soft and creamy, maximum yield at f5 I found little refraction at the most closed apertures. A beautiful contrast and tones a bit cold but to my liking

Pros: Quality, quality, quality... so much quality... engraving already at f / 1.2, speed in AF-C on X-T4 not at all disappointing, indeed ...

Cons: Hood that for a Pro optics I expected in metal, diaphragm ring not very frictioned, weight if I really want to find another hair in the egg

Opinion: I state that I do this review net of a single day use but doing this for 13 years, using Fuji for 5 years now and having tried almost all high-end optics ... I can express myself without problems on this Viltrox 75mm f/1.2. Test done on Fuji X-T4 so the capabilities in AF-C are to be taken with pliers, I will update as soon as I try it on my X-H2S these days... but despite this she behaved very, very well... follows in subject perfectly in zone mode, in AF-S needless to say, a sniper even with particularly ball-breaker lights ... But the quality, the quality... shot with files in M quality at 10Mpx and already so you are amazed at how it can have such a perfect engraving even at f / 1.2. I think it's one of the best lenses ever tested in terms of quality both when I had Canon and Sony... and today with Fuji... Obviously this statement always related to the price (for me ridiculous but justified by the third-party brand) with which it is marketed. I do not want to dwell more, I will update the review as soon as I try it in other scenarios and especially with X-H2S ... but if you love focal tele... just one thing... Take it in a hurry. EDIT: tested in AF-C with Fuji X-H2S... It did not disappoint my expectations and I still confirm the incredible quality of this optics. In situations of very low light perfectly follows the recognition of the face, perhaps in backlight a bit of difficulty but I'm not sure it's the fault of the optics. Repeat... For lovers of focal lengths... Buy this lens.
