Critics' Consensus

“The Viltrox AF 135mm F1.8 FE Lab delivers sharp images and fast autofocus at a budget price, but suffers from heavy weight, busy bokeh, and firmware reliability issues. Buyers should weigh these trade-offs against higher-priced alternatives like the Sony FE 85mm F1.8.”

“Overall, we're happy with the pictures and autofocus from the Viltrox lens, but our review sample stopped working after a stalled firmware update, putting the quality of its electronics into question.”
