There is a new firmware update version 1.2.0 for the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 Z mirrorless lens (the first autofocus Z-mount lens from a third party). The new firmware contains improved lens compatibility.

CameraLabs recently published their review of the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 Z mirrorless lens – here is their verdict:

Good points:

• Very good resolution – if focused optimally.
• Good Bokeh.
• Low vignetting (through lens profile).
• Low price.

Bad points:

• Focus consistency is mediocre.
• Strong focus shift.
• Field curvature mars performance on flat or distant subjects.
• Longitudinal colour aberrations.
• Low resistance against flare and glare.
• No weather sealing.
• Distortions are not completely corrected by built-in lens profile.
