Viltrox AF 85 mm f/2 EVO

9. Ghosting and flares

When it comes to a 2/85 lens you can expect a properly good performance against bright light. Unfortunately the tested Viltrox doesn't perform up to scratch. It's easy to catch different light artifacts no matter where you put the source of bright light. What's more, some light artifacts can appear even if the sun is in a significant distance from the frame corner.

As if it wasn't enough, the produced images show a noticeable contrast loss. It's evident that Viltrox optics engineers should have applied themselves better.
