The Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB Z did, once again, deliver a highly impressive performance - this time in Nikon Z mount. It's very sharp even at f/1.2, which is quite an achievement in this lens class, especially for a newcomer brand. Stopping down, results are nothing short of great. Low CAs also contribute to the sharpness perception. On top of this, the quality of the bokeh is very smooth. On the downside, axial CAs are still visible at f/1.2, although they are still comparatively mild. The image distortion is low and usually not disturbing. However, a distortion auto-correction profile is not included (eventually available to Photoshop users). A correction profile is implemented for vignetting. This is also needed because the RAW vignetting is quite obvious at large aperture settings.

Viltrox didn't compromise on build quality either. While the Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB Z is big and heavy, the weight does translate into quality materials. The lens feels sturdy, and the weather sealing will provide some protection against the elements. The unmarked, unlimited aperture control is more aligned to video use, but it does the job for photographic purposes as well. The AF is pretty quick and precise.

Some may still find it difficult to believe, but Viltrox is a serious threat to the establishment - also and especially with the Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB Z. Highly recommended!
