Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 Pre-Sale Started and Shipping April 21

Share

After several delays, finally Viltrox is starting to sell their long awaited new Fujifilm X mount autofocus lenses, the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4, the Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 and the Viltrox 56mm f/1.4.

The first lens to be sold is the Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 for 1,799 Chinese Yuan ($250) and it will ship April 21. The other lenses will be released later on.

Viltrox already sells the successful and much loved Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 autofocus lens for Fuji X, but as opposed to the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8, these new Viltrox lenses have an aperture ring.

I expect the Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 to be available fore pre-order also outside of China very soon at BHphoto here, AmazonUS here and Adorama here (they also sell the Viltrox 85/1.8)
