New Viltrox AF 35mm f1.2 LAB FE for Sony E Mount
Viltrox just dropped a new AF 35mm f1.2 LAB lens for Sony E-mount cameras, and it’s looking like a solid addition to their lineup. It joins the AF 135mm f1.8 LAB FE, which has been getting a lot of love from both reviewers and everyday users—so we’ve got high hopes for this one too.

Viltrox AF 35mm f1.2 LAB FE with the Sony A7R V
Sony doesn’t actually make a 35mm F1.2, and while Sigma does offer the 35mm F1.2 DG DN Art for E-mount, it’s basically a reworked DSLR lens—big, heavy, and not super modern. That’s why the Viltrox 35mm F1.2 might be a more natural rival to the Sony FE 35mm F1.4 GM, which is a fantastic lens overall (aside from some pretty heavy focus breathing). And honestly, the difference between F1.2 and F1.4 isn’t that huge in real-world use.
Viltrox AF 35mm f1.2 LAB FE vs Sony FE 35mm F1.4 GM
What really makes the Viltrox stand out is the price—just $999 and already available on Amazon. That’s a great deal compared to Sony’s F1.4 GM. And if you’re wondering how it stacks up against something like the Nikkor Z 35mm F1.2 S, well… that one goes for $2,796 and is noticeably bigger. So yeah, Viltrox might be onto something here.
