Shenzhen, China - April 23rd, 2026 - Viltrox today announces the launch of its AF 35mm F1.2 LAB N FE, a full-frame ultra-large-aperture autofocus prime lens for Sony FE mount cameras. Designed to coexist alongside the original AF 35mm F1.2 LAB, the new version builds on its proven performance while introducing a more streamlined appearance without a display. It’s paired with a traditional aperture ring featuring marked stops that provide precise, tactile control preferred by many photographers.
Flagship Lenses & Sophisticated Optical Structure
The flagship 15-element, 10-group optical structure (including 3 HR, 5 ED, and 2 UA elements) delivers exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness, preserving fine detail even under heavy cropping, while effectively controlling chromatic aberration in high-contrast or backlit scenes.
Significantly Faster Autofocus with Quad HyperVCM
Powered by Viltrox’s Quad HyperVCM motor system, the lens delivers significantly faster autofocus performance compared to traditional STM systems. With micron-level precision, fast focus transitions, and support for face and eye detection, it ensures reliable subject tracking, which combined with its quiet operation and smooth focus transitions make it well suited for video production.
F1.2 Ultra-Large Aperture
The F1.2 aperture affords increased light intake for cleaner low-light imaging and a shallow depth of field, while the 11-blade diaphragm delivers a smooth, rounded bokeh with a natural and pleasing rendering.
Professional Handling and Workflow Efficiency
Designed for intuitive control, the aperture ring supports click and de-click switching for both photo and video use, while the AF/MF switch enables quick mode changes. Two customizable buttons provide direct access to frequently used functions, improving responsiveness during shooting.
Engineered for Durability in Demanding Environments
The lens incorporates a sealed structure to resist dust and moisture, ensuring reliable performance in challenging outdoor conditions. A water- and smudge-resistant front coating enhances usability, while the full-metal housing and precision-plated brass mount provide long-term structural strength.
Close-Up Precision and Consistent Focal Sharpness
A minimum focusing distance of 0.34m enables detailed close-up shooting, while the dual floating focus design maintains consistent sharpness and resolution across the focusing range, from close-up to infinity.
Availability
The AF 35mm F1.2 LAB N FE will be available alongside the original AF 35mm F1.2 LAB, offering photographers and filmmakers the flexibility to choose the control style that best suits their workflow.
