Viltrox is releasing its ultra-compact 28mm f/4.5 lens, designed for full-frame cameras, for Fujifilm X-Series APS-C cameras. While the lens offers a 52-degree field of view, equivalent to a 42mm lens on full-frame, it promises sharp images and stunning starbursts. The lens weighs only 60 grams and is 15.25 millimeters long, making it suitable as a camera body cap. It features autofocus with a voice-coil motor for quick and quiet performance.

Viltrox is bringing its impossibly tiny 28mm f/4.4 “Chip” lens to Fujifilm X Series cameras., Chinese lens maker Viltrox has said it is bringing it to APS-C Fujifilm X cameras. The lens is making the move to X unchanged, meaning it still sports an optical design for full-frame cameras, meaning it should deliver strong performance on Fujifilm’s APS-C mirrorless cameras.

Concerning image quality, Viltrox promises “sharp, vibrant images with stunning starburst effects,” although it is essential to keep this in context. The lens is a fixed-aperture f/4.5 prime that costs under $100, so photographers should not expect world-changing performance. The lens features six elements arranged across as many groups and has two ED lenses and a pair of aspherical elements.

Since the lens is so small, lightweight, and affordable, it’s designed to serve double duty as a camera body cap. After all, it’s not much larger than a regular body cap. The lens has a slide lever mechanism to switch between its “cap” and shooting modes.
