The details
At a glance: Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.8 STM - autofocus portrait prime for Fujifilm X, about 128mm equivalent.
About this lens
The Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.8 STM is an autofocus portrait prime for Fujifilm X-mount. On an APS-C Fujifilm body it gives roughly a 128mm-equivalent field of view with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, for tight head-and-shoulders portraits with a soft, out-of-focus background.

Best for
Viltrox made its name with affordable autofocus primes for mirrorless systems, and the 85mm f/1.8 is one of its most popular. It costs a fraction of Fujifilm's own fast telephoto primes while still focusing automatically, which is why it is a common first portrait lens for X-mount shooters.
Frequently asked questions
Does it autofocus on Fujifilm cameras?
Yes. It is a full autofocus lens with electronic contacts, and it works with the camera's face and eye detection. Aperture is set from the camera or the lens as normal.
Is 85mm too long on a crop-sensor Fujifilm?
It behaves like a 128mm lens, which is tight for full-length portraits indoors but ideal for head-and-shoulders shots and candid portraits from a distance. For a classic 85mm-style view on Fujifilm, a 50-56mm lens is the closer match.
The listing mentions minor internal dust. Does that affect pictures?
A little dust inside a lens is normal with use and does not show in photographs. The condition notes above say the optics are clear of major defects.

Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
