Viltrox 28mm f1.8 - FE

Viltrox 28mm f/1.8 - FE arrives as a versatile wide-angle prime for Sony FE mount cameras, offering bright optics in a compact package.

Designed specifically for mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras (MILC), the Viltrox 28mm f/1.8 - FE combines a fast maximum aperture of f/1.8 with a lightweight construction, making it ideal for both photo and video creators on the go.

The optical design comprises 11 elements in 9 groups, engineered to deliver sharp center and pleasing edge performance across the 74.6° viewing angle. The nine-blade diaphragm helps produce smooth, rounded bokeh when shooting at wide apertures.

With an aperture range from f/1.8 to f/16 and a closest focusing distance of 0.37 m, this lens handles low-light situations and close environmental portraits with ease. Its compact dimensions—88.2 mm in length, 7 cm diameter, and a weight of 367 g—make it comfortable for extended handheld use.

The lens mounts directly to Sony FE cameras and maintains a 55 mm filter thread for easy attachment of filters. Its black finish gives a professional, unobtrusive look that suits both stills and video setups.

Typical use cases include environmental portraiture, street and travel photography, vlogging, and landscape work where a slightly wider perspective and fast aperture are advantageous. The bright f/1.8 aperture is particularly useful for subject isolation and working in dim conditions.

Key selling points are the fast f/1.8 aperture, compact and lightweight build, precise close-focus capability at 0.37 m, and the 11-element/9-group optical construction for strong image quality. This combination provides excellent value for Sony users seeking an everyday wide-angle prime.
