Portrait focal length for APS-C
The Viltrox AF 56mm F1.4 gives APS-C cameras an angle of view close to an 85–90mm full-frame lens. It combines an F1.4 aperture, compact metal body, Eye AF and gentle subject separation.

Environmental portrait
The longer focal length offers a comfortable working distance and flattering facial perspective without wide-angle distortion.

F1.4 in practice
Shallow depth of field softens distracting backgrounds while retaining the character of the location.

Nine blades
Nine aperture blades and F1.4 help produce calm, soft background rendering.

Electronic communication
The lens works with supported camera autofocus modes and transfers EXIF information.

Quiet focusing
Internal focusing is designed for smooth and quiet operation in both stills and short video clips.

Compact construction
The metal build combines tactile operation with dimensions suited to lightweight APS-C kits.

10 elements / 9 groups
An ED element, a high-refractive-index element and HD Nano coatings help retain contrast and suppress unwanted colour fringing.

Practical portrait prime
Low weight for a fast portrait prime makes everyday carrying and handheld shooting easier.
