Viltrox officially unveiled its new AF 28mm F4.5 Chip L, a full-frame autofocus pancake lens for L-Mount cameras.

The lens supports in-camera correction functions and is optimized to work seamlessly with modern L-Mount camera systems. It aims to deliver a compact and effortless shooting experience for everyday photography. The company said that the lens is designed to be ultra-compact to allow photographers to stay 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 in an effort to deliver fast and quiet autofocus performance. It includes a 28mm focal length of about a foot.

Viltrox said that the lens also features a distinctive polygonal aperture plate design that aims to produce recognizable starburst effects around point light sources in backlit and night scenes. The solution also incorporates a slide-lever lens cover design for easy opening and closing of the lens cover.
