Viltrox RF 85mm f/1.8 Review: Big Lens, Small Price

The Viltrox RF 85mm f/1.8 is an affordable, 85mm prime lens compatible with all full frame, Canon EOS R mirrorless cameras. It costs hundreds less than RF 85mm primes made by Canon, and is one of the only third party RF lenses supporting autofocus. But for the price, what about image quality? Is it worth buying? In this review I share example photos and videos, qualitative test results, and my experience using the lens.

Disclaimer: Viltrox sent me this lens for review. However they have not paid for or sponsored this video, nor have they had any editorial input. Everything in this video is my opinion and experience.
