Norderstedt, August 23, 2024. Rollei, a leading provider of photo and video products, is pleased to announce, in collaboration with Viltrox, the launch of the new 56mm F/1.7 lens for Sony E-Mount APS-C cameras. This lens combines exceptional optical quality with user-friendly features.

The Viltrox 56mm F/1.7 is specifically designed for Sony E-Mount APS-C cameras and offers an outstanding prime lens that is perfect for portrait photography. The 56-millimeter focal length provides a natural rendition of the subject and effective separation from the background, resulting in aesthetically pleasing portraits. This makes the lens a top choice for photographers who value high image quality and creative possibilities.

Thanks to its bright F/1.7 aperture, this new product enables impressive shots even in challenging lighting conditions. The large aperture captures plenty of light and simultaneously provides a shallow depth of field, which clearly separates the subject from the background – an essential effect in portrait photography. With its compact and lightweight design, the Viltrox 56mm F/1.7 is the perfect companion for photographers who are often on the go. It is easy to transport and allows for flexible and spontaneous work without compromising on image quality.

The lens is equipped with an STM autofocus system that ensures fast, quiet, and precise focusing. This is particularly advantageous when shooting videos or in noise-sensitive environments. The integrated intelligent eye-tracking also supports the autofocus in precisely focusing on the subject's eyes.

Further technical information can be found in the attached PDF document. The Viltrox 56mm F/1.7 lens with Sony E-Mount is now available for 169 Euros (RRP 229 Euros) in the Rollei online shop at www.rollei.de/viltrox.
