Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 LAB Gets Aperture Ring, Drops the Display

Sony shooters who wanted the Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 LAB but hated the digital display now have a reason to look again. The new N variant strips out the screen and adds a proper aperture ring with marked stops, which is the version most working photographers actually want for run-and-gun or video work. Optically it's the same 15-element formula with dust and moisture sealing, and at £869 it's still less than half what Sony charges for their own 35mm f/1.4 GM. If you're on Sony full-frame and need a fast 35 that won't embarrass itself in backlit corporate interiors or tight event spaces, this just became a more practical option.
