AF 35mm f/1.4 Pro

The Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.4 Pro is a fast-aperture full-frame prime aimed at Sony E-mount shooters who need a versatile wide-angle for hybrid and still work. At 910 grams and with a 77mm filter thread, it's a substantial lens that positions itself in Viltrox's more premium tier, featuring an aperture ring and apparent video-oriented controls. The 15-element, 10-group optical design includes 11 aperture blades for smooth bokeh, and the lens opens up to f/1.4 (despite a spec listing f/1.2 as max aperture). With a minimum focus distance of 34 cm and 0.17x magnification, it offers decent close-focus capability for a 35mm. The lens is expected to launch at $999, making it a compelling option for creators who want a fast standard prime without stepping up to first-party glass. While only one early review is available, the lens is noted as relevant for users prioritizing a fast standard focal length across photo and video applications. A Nikon Z version is also reportedly in the works.
