AF 56mm F1.7 Air overview

The Viltrox AF 56mm F1.7 Air is a 56mm f/1.7 prime for APS-C cameras on Fujifilm X, Sony E-mount and Nikon Z, announced by Viltrox in April 2024. 42 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits, low light and travel. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust as well as close-ups.

New, it sells for S$208 in Singapore (TK Foto).

Worth comparing it with the Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS, Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary and Fujifilm XF 56mm F1.2 R.
