Viltrox Unveils White and Red Fuji X-Mount Limited Edition Lenses
Viltrox is releasing a limited edition set of matte white or shiny red Fujifilm X-mount f/1.4 prime lenses with focal lengths of 23mm, 33mm, and 56mm. The company plans to only produce 500 total units of each color. While the white/red paint job is quite novel, it is a strange choice considering nearly all Fujifilm cameras are available only in black and silver varieties, which makes the optics stand out rather obnoxiously.
The white is accompanied by dark grey markings for all numbers on the aperture ring, focusing ring, and the lens itself, but also features a small amount of red on a couple of accents. The red option features white numbers and a small number of black accents.
Color schemes notwithstanding, the primes are pretty fast, with each enjoying an aperture speed rating of f/1.4. The lenses are constructed of 11 elements in 10 groups and the nine-bladed iris offers what is promised to be a smooth, circular bokeh.
Each lens in either white or red comes with a square lens hood, lens cap, mount cover, and a silky-looking bag to protect the lens while in storage. The lenses are available either piecemeal or in a three-lens set. The 23mm retails for $379, the 33mm for $329, and the 56mm costs $379. The three lens set options will saves $10 at its $1,079 price.
