Viltrox has now released the third lens in its fast prime autofocus lens series for the Canon EOS M APS-C mirrorless lineup. Adding to the 23mm f/1.4 STM and 33mm f/1.4 STM announced last month, the new Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 maintains the look and feel of the two existing lenses while retaining their small, lightweight stature.
With a focal length primarily thought of as a portrait lens, offering a field of view equivalent to that of about 90mm on full-frame bodies, the new lens rounds out the trio quite nicely.
| Focal Length | 56mm |
| Max aperture | f/1.4 |
| Min aperture | f/16 |
| 35mm FOV equivalent | 90mm |
| Angle of view | 28° |
| Aperture blades | 9 (rounded) |
| Aperture control | In body / Aperture ring on lens |
| Stop size | 1/3rd stop increments (22 stops) |
| Minimum focus distance | ~60cm |
| Filter diameter | 52mm |
| Dimensions | 65 x 72mm |
| Weight | ~290g |
As with the other two lenses in the trio, the Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 features a hidden micro USB port, allowing you to upgrade the firmware of the lens as new updates become available. It also features the same HD Nano multi-layer coatings for ghost and flare suppression and to increase contrast and colour in strong lighting conditions.
The Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 is available to buy now for $279 and is shipping now.
