W hen it comes to choosing an ultra-precision, superfast lens to fit onto a Fujifilm X Mount camera, look no further than the Viltrox AF 27mm f/1.2 Pro XF. This autofocus optic is another masterpiece of engineering from the flagship Viltrox Pro line-up, built for incredible quality with no compromises. It combines an ultra-large aperture, excellent optical quality, high resolution, top image rendering and autofocus that’s fast and precise. It’s built for professional use, reliable enough to handle the rigours of everything from speedy street shooting to starry sky landscapes. It brings stellar levels of performance to APS-C lenses, thanks to its complex build of 15 lens elements in 11 groups.

To ensure it offers reliable service, the AF 27mm f/1.2 Pro XF features a full-metal body yet weighs just 560g. It incorporates a high-grade dust-sealing ring as well as an efficient splash-resistant structure. And a water- and dirt-repellent coating on the front lens makes it suitable for shooting in tough conditions. At the front is a 67mm filter thread and the lens comes complete with petal-shaped lens hood to stop excess flare and provide further protection. Perhaps best of all is the great-value price. The AF 27mm f/1.2 Pro XF list price is £429/$545 – and soon it will be followed by Z and E mount versions.
