Review VerdictThis test didn't reveal anything fundamentally new, but that's a good thing here, of course. Just like the non-N version, the Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB N FE continues to impress. It's very sharp at f/1.2 already - and slightly better than on the non-N sample that we reviewed before. And it's stunningly good when stopped down a little. Lateral CAs are very low. Axial CAs are noticeable at large aperture settings, although not excessive. The vignetting is typical for such a lens. The lens produces a slight pincushion distortion in RAW images, which turns to slight barrel distortion when autocorrected. The background bokeh is very smooth, and out-of-focus highlights are nicely rendered. The build quality is up to professional standards thanks to a weather-sealed all-metal housing. The focus control ring is smooth. The "N" version has a conventional, marked aperture ring now - which is surely a welcome change, at least among photographers. The AF is quick and noiseless. Unsurprisingly, the Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB N FE maintains its "Highly Recommended" badge again. Support us by shopping at: * Amazon * B&H * Adorama * Viltrox
