Pros: Outstanding clean and elegant finish. Tight assembly. Light (!!!) - it balances very fine on a small Fuji body (XT-2 and XT-1 in my case). Very comfortable to hold. Extremely fast AF. Fantastic ability to find and hold on to eye and face in eye-focus mode. Good close focus on aps-c sensor. Silent. Good price (320 EUR here).

Cons: Small amount of blue fringing in ***extremely*** backlit images - corrected 100% in my software. No problem.

Opinion: After getting my fingers burnt on many Fuji lenses (super expensive but only average image quality) and having browsed sample images of fellow photographers I decided to give Viltrox a chance. So far so good - the lens is super elegant and seems very well made. AF is extremely fast, silent and sure. Eye and face focus work like a dream too. It is very comfortable to hold. Manual focus ring is smooth and precise. This lens is in my opinion 10/10 in aesthetics and mechanical properties. I will report on its optical properties when I have shot first 1000 images with it. By now I only shot a few test shots so I can only say the bokeh on aps-c Fuji body is spectacular - by far the best I have seen from any Fuji lens so far - it is smooth, it is soft and creamy - exactly what I want it to be.

Pros: if found with RF mount about 300€: sharpness, aesthetic finish, blurred (it's 1.8 at 85mm you know that from good blur, but maybe it's not really 1.8)

Cons: definitely lens hood and cap: hateful. so-so focusing motor: noise that seems to have a Vespa stuck under the barrel, and it's not really a splinter but so much so that you take portraits of it not sport

Opinion: taken to try the focal length, I like it. I'm not a professional, but I think that to work on it without extreme pretensions is great, for an amateur even more than necessary. vote 9 because at this price you can ask for very little more, even if the hood and cap are OBEDIENT, and it is not a small detail: the cap does not hook and often jumps off, and if you don't notice it when you put it in your backpack they are troubles. The lens hood, however, is even worse: hard, it is difficult to find the joint and even here it is not a small one: you have to hold the neck of the barrel with one hand near the coupling on the camera body and then rotate trying to tighten or release the lens hood, so much so that done only with one hand I felt the lens move on the mount, not to drop it, of course, but over time the camera side mount and also the contacts can wear out. This alone is the biggest flaw I find, because risking ruining the mount in the room to save 5 euros on lens hood design is, excuse me, the classic cinesata. That said, if you are careful and have patience with these maneuvers, you have a nice lens in your hand, more between f2-2.5 than f1.8 according to someone as a light adjustable to the sensor, but even if it were 85mm f2 at 300 € with AF RF mount you find an alternative. Of course you don't have the lens correction profiles on the various programs, nice annoyance, but in my opinion the issue of withdrawn canon licenses returns so it's not his fault. If you are a professional and you can spend more, allow yourself more, if you are an amateur or you are starting the professional set (understood photo by profession) it is ok not to break the bank and destroy budgets on flashes, diffusers, stands and other lenses. Last note: if it is true that maybe between 300 and 800 € there is a gap of choice and therefore it would deserve a 10 I say no, no because then there are several 90-100mm macro options that honestly change very little the performance (we go up to f2.8 but more mm if you look at the blurry), solving all the annoyances of grafts, caps, profiles without compromising optical resolution. So 9 generous, no more

Pros: Excellent blur, solid lens, low weight

Cons: chromatic aberration

Opinion: I bought this lens (new at auction for 300€) for canon r6 mk II... Honestly, I'm finding myself divinely! Fast AF, excellent blur, I don't see any problems even at TA (maybe "fault" of the camera?) For what you spend on it, it is certainly worth more. Leaving aside the "old" EF lenses, in my opinion, you can't find better. I prefer it to the RF 85mm f2 first of all for that little bit more brightness, then also for the cost, not to mention the materials used. It makes me laugh that there are users who complain about said optics for the weight, or for the materials! Quality weighs, professional lenses are always the ones that weigh the most, don't you want the weight?! Make plastic goals. TO CONCLUDE the only flaw of viltrox, but it had already been seen in other lenses, the chromatic aberration which, however, I don't think is even too excessive and often even pleasant.

Pros: Viltrox AF85 F1.8 with RF mount, used on RP, R6, R8. Rendered on par with the Canon EF135mm f/2.0. Very soft blur, very sharp even at TA. Excellent materials, ridiculously low price.

Cons: Against Canon which with the R8 has made it difficult to use. Against DxO because it does not have the optical module. Lens hood difficult to assemble and disassemble. A minimum of distortion that can be easily controlled in PP

Opinion: I had the Viltrox AF85 F1.8 with RF mount for two and a half years. Paid new 320 euros. Used on RP and R6 for trouble-free photos and videos. With the R8 it was not possible to use it if you set the Exposure + Depth of Field simulation. The machine is blocked. Sold only because I had the monkey of the 85mm Sigma ART (which cost me more than double). I have opened 3 discussions about this lens (https://www.juzaphoto.com/viewforum.php?sf=201&l=it) to be considered the best of the powerful lenses for Canon RF I own. Little else to say: for the rest just see the images below. A very soft blur, a performance on a par with the EF135mm of which it becomes the worthy companion.

Pros: Arrived today, taken on the Bay by a German private individual, paid 282 coffees. Still sealed it is gorgeous, it looks like a Zeiss, nice materials, mounted on Z5, made some test shots of my models, at F2.8 in my opinion, Sunday photographer, it's scary. I'll take nice portraits of my children and grandchildren, but I think it doesn't suck in macro either

Cons: It is big, heavy, showy..... But I already knew

Opinion: I have read many reviews, positive and some negative but it seems to me a good optic, I am not a PRO, but I have been taking photos for many years always faithful to Nikon mom. The lens hood engages well, the optics engage just as well, it's not version II, but I don't care, with what I paid for it, I repeat sealed....... I hope it gives me satisfaction combined with the Nikkor 40 f2 and the Nikkor 24-70 f4 Greetings
