85mm f1.8 Mark II for Fuji X Mount - 85mm Portrait Fixed Focus Lens for Fujifilm X-T3, X-T2, X-T30, X-T20, X-T10, X-T100, X-PRO2

Picked this up on a whim, as I was looking for something a little longer than my 35 & 50mm lenses, and the equivalent Fuji lens was a little out of my price range. Incredibly happy I did, and it has been a fixture on my X-T3 since it arrived. Contrast, sharpness, bokeh, build quality, and basically everything are all top notch. Yes, there's some pretty tough fringing when wide open, but 99% of the time can be easily corrected through Lightroom. Yes, it's a little on the heavy side. But for the price of this lens? I'll take it! The all metal construction makes it feel super high quality and like it could take a beating. Auto focus is a little clunky, but that could just be the X-T3 -- I generally don't get amazing AF performance compared to Canon Dual Pixel. Plus, for such a cheap lens there are no complaints here. The manual focus ring is wonderfully dampened, so getting precise focus (especially when paired with peaking) is a breeze. Overall, I am totally sold on Viltrox as a company now, and am going to be purchasing more lenses in the future. Currently eyeing the 75mm 1.4 :) If you're like me, and you're looking for a reasonably priced high quality telephoto/portrait lens look no further. This is the one for sure.

*If you make your living using your camera, don't cheap out. Put up the money & get the 90mm f/2. *If you're a sports photographer & you need premium auto focus, put up the money and get the 90mm f/2. *If you simply make extra money with your camera or are deciding on full-time photography, save your money and get this. Its worth every dollar. *If your a hobbyist shooting landscapes & portraits, save your money and get the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4. Its manual focus but you don't need auto for landscapes and portraits. Its also $200 cheaper than the Viltrox, if bought used. Auto Focus Speed: its about 0.29 sec. the 90mm is a lab tested 0.14sec. You will not likely notice the difference until you hit low light conditions, then its VERY noticeable. It also takes a noticeable amount of time to focus on a subject, if said subject is at the lower end of the minimum focus range. This is true with most lenses of any camera but its more noticeable on this "budget" lens. Image Quality: It does about 90% of what the 90mm can do. You will only notice if you zoom in a pixel peep. Color Quality: The image fidelity is so sharp that you will not likely notice the color is a tiny bit different for what Fujis normally output. Overall: As a person who has owned both I can say without hesitation that the 90mm is flat-out better. I can also say without hesitation that with two very good alternatives on the market, the 90mm isn't worth the money unless you are using the 90mm to make money. That said, this lens is a premium product and could easily be selling for $600. I say buy it now before the price goes up again

Near perfect lens. Sharp. Color is accurate. Contrast is beautiful. Depth is great. Build quality feels excellent. Packaging is nice. Speed is adequate and quiet - better than some of my Fuji lenses. Price is appropriate. Only downsides: no aperture ring. This means the default when attached to my Fuji XT3 is auto aperture. Everytime I reattach, I have to adjust the aperture all the way back open. Focus gives up periodically at random times. It seems to sometimes stop communicating with my camera for a minute or so. I'll give it a break, and try it again in a few minutes and it will function perfectly. I'm not sure exactly why this issue happens. It won't even let me manually focus when this happens.

Purchased for my Fujifilm X-E3. For a lens at this price point, excellent build quality, smooth manual focus, lens hood included, pristine optics, autofocus, and quality lens mount. The lens is sharp at all f/numbers with minimal color, even at f/1.8. The lens is sharp across most of the full-frame (see attached photo). Autofocus is noisy and torquey but quick for a lens in this price range. Weight is a bit on the heavy side. The front lens element is massive (72 mm filter size). I love big optics! Overall, this lens is a winner!

I bought this because I couldn't justify the price for the Fujifilm 90mm f/2. I was really surprised with build quality. The lens is solid, and yes, heavy. It's a great street photography lens for me, as I don't like getting all up in people's faces. Autofocus is good, not great. Sharpness is better, but not perfect. I think the colors are a bit off, but nothing Lightroom or Photoshop can't correct. Overall I think this is a 5/5 lens, but it's not 5/5 image quality. The Fuji lens will be better, no doubt, but at less than 1/2 the price you're not sacrificing 1/2 the quality.

At less than half the price of the fuji 90mm F2, this lens is an amazing deal. As a long portrait lens on a crop sensor, it is best used for tight headshots up to head and shoulder shots of individuals or perhaps outdoor and environmental portraits. You'll need to back way up for couples shots, and forget about group shots (use your 50mm) The amount of compression you get is really flattering on most people with dreamy backgrounds. The lens is nice and crisp throughout is focal range, but especially sharp at f4 and above. Good build quality, and quick auto focus on my XT3. I'm super pleased with the portraits created with this lens.

This is stunning Lens. 2 thumbs up for this kind of lens. Superb!

To start with, got this lens after a very long research and continuously monitoring the availability of the product in amazon. The lens itself is a GEM ! The moment I put it on and turned On the camera , things changed, things changed to an exceptional level. I own a fuji XT100 , so was a bit skeptical regarding the performance. But, this just got a knighthood amongst all the lenses ive tried. You simply deserve to own this when its available again. Now the product seems to have been imported by digitek , which i did know of since viltrox mentioned that to me a couple of months back. Well sealed , well handled, brand new. And btw this is the MARK II version that came out in Aug 20. The price is a bit on the higher side. I mean its exactly whats written on the lable of the product i.e 34.75k , i believe amazon should give a lil bit of discount since we are in India. Nevertheless, this was a thing to wait for :)

Very well built and is very sharp excellent IQ. Bigger then Fuji lenses fits on my XT4 nice and well balanced. It is heavy and ideal for studio portrait work. Fast auto focus. Yes I would recommend this lens.

I bought this for my fujifilm xt2 and love it. It's really sharp. On the down side is it doesn't have an aperture ring but you get used to using another method. Still, highly recommend.

I am using this in my X A7 and its just amazing . Nice portrait photography and you will definitely love it. Good and affordable lens. Build quality is very good. Cons Little heavy
