Viltrox AF 28mm F4.5 Chip L

Viltrox announced its new AF 28mm F4.5 Chip L, a full-frame autofocus pancake lens for L-Mount cameras. The lens combines an ultra-slim profile, exceptional lightness, and excellent portability. With the launch of the AF 28mm F4.5 Chip L, Viltrox further expands its L-Mount lineup. In addition to support for in-camera correction functions, the lens is optimized to work seamlessly with modern L-Mount camera systems, delivering a compact and effortless shooting experience for everyday photography.

Weighing just ~60g and measuring just 13.2mm thin, this ultra-compact autofocus lens is comparable in size to a simple lens cap or camera body cap. When paired with cameras such as the Panasonic Lumix S9 and Lumix S5II, the AF 28mm F4.5 Chip L creates a remarkably compact full-frame setup, allowing photographers to stay highly mobile with minimal bulk.

The Viltrox AF 28mm F4.5 Chip L features a fixed F4.5 aperture and a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) autofocus system that delivers fast and quiet autofocus performance. Its versatile 28mm focal length and minimum focusing distance of just 0.32m make it well suited to a wide range of everyday shooting scenarios, providing a natural balance between environmental context and subject emphasis.

The Viltrox AF 28mm F4.5 Chip L MSRP will be priced at $99 / €109 / £90
