I bought this lens shortly before visiting a flower festival, so I had a good opportunity to use this lens with my Sony A6500. The picture quality is pretty good. I also took various pictures of objects in my room ranging from f/1.2 to f/10. This gives you an idea of what the bokeh looks like at f/1.2 as well as what the theoretical max image quality looks like at f/10 and ISO 100. Premium feeling lens with an option to adjust the aperture on the lens instead of only the camera. A minimum focusing distance of 11 in (28cm) lets you get fairly close to objects, but it is NOT a macro lens. My main gripe with the lens is the auto focus. I understand that the lens is big and bulky. That's to be expected for f/1.2 and having premium construction. However, with the size and weight compromise, you should expect better performance. The image quality may be nice, but the auto focus hunts often even in well to moderately lit locations. I didn't bother to test in dark areas because the auto focus is already struggling with sufficient light. YouTube videos mentioned the focus hunting happening often when shooting videos, but I also see it happening for pictures. I'm kind of tempted to return this lens, but I'm holding out hope that Viltrox improves the auto focus in a future firmware update. To understand where I'm coming from, I already have quite a few lenses for my A6500. The Sony 11mm f/1.8 has by far the best auto focus that I've used. I would give it a 10/10 since I haven't used anything better. Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 would be a 9/10. Sigma 18-50mm would be 8/10. This Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 would be 7/10. As a bulky prime lens, I think this lens should be at least on par with the Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 (a zoom lens with better minimum focusing distance). If you need good auto focus, this lens isn’t for you. If you’re ok with dealing with occasional focus hunting or shoot mainly manual, this lens might be worth considering. Look at the pictures I attached and decide for yourself. Read more

I was a little skeptical with 3rd party lenses but decided to try this one out, as I needed a lens that could give me more light on my APSC camera. This is by far my favorited prime lens that I've used. Depending on what you need, I use it to film videos and this lens was able to give me very beautiful bokeh. The autofocus works very well when paired with my camera and creates a buttery smooth authentic background blur that makes my object in focus a lot more separation from its surrounding. The aperture ring on the lens is also very helpful if you want to change the f stop quickly, offering a noticeable click at each stop. Considering its price, this lens can definitely imitate what a full frame camera can do at a fraction of the cost of a full frame lens. It's a must buy for anyone that wants an APSC prime lens!
