Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 LAB FE (N): Now with a Normal Aperture Ring
If you passed on the original Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 LAB because the stepless, unmarked aperture ring felt like a solution to a problem nobody had, the (N) variant fixes exactly that — conventional clicked aperture ring, proper markings, no LCD gimmick. For Sony shooters who want a fast 35mm without paying Sigma Art or Zeiss prices, this just became a more serious option.

Viltrox AF 35mm F1.2 LAB N FE Review: Sharp, Fast, $999
Viltrox's AF 35mm F1.2 LAB N FE is a full-frame f/1.2 prime for Sony E and Nikon Z, retailing at US$999 / £869. The 'N' version swaps the original's OLED focus-distance screen and unmarked control ring for a traditional aperture ring marked f/1.2 to f/16, same optical formula across both. At 910g and 77mm filter thread, it's a substantial piece of glass — Amateur Photographer found the sharpness and bokeh strong for the price, with weather-resistant metal construction, though Sony users lose some function button support.
