    Overview

    The Viltrox AF 35mm F1.7 Air is a compact, lightweight APS-C lens offering a 52.5mm equivalent field of view. Optically, it delivers very good sharpness even at f/1.7, with excellent center quality by f/2.2 and peak performance between f/2.8 and f/4. Weaknesses include high vignetting (~2.3 EV at f/1.7) and no weather sealing. Build uses quality plastics with a metal mount, smooth focus ring, and no aperture ring. Autofocus is fast and quiet. At $179, it suits budget-conscious users wanting high performance on high-resolution sensors.
