Is the viltrox af 27mm f 1 2 pro worth it?

Yes, if you shoot on APS-C and want a fast lens with a natural, slightly tight view. The Viltrox AF 27mm f/1.2 Pro frames like about 40mm on full frame, and at f/1.2 it gives roughly the depth of field of f/1.8. It's autofocus and fits Fujifilm X, Sony E and Nikon Z, so bodies like the Fujifilm X-T30 III, Sony a6700 or Nikon Z50 II are all good matches. It has no stabilisation, so it leans on fast shutter speeds or the body's own stabilisation.

I can't judge the price from here, but it's a fair deal for a lens this fast. For portraits, a longer lens like the 56mm f/1.2 range suits faces better than this one, so think of the 27mm as a street, documentary or everyday lens. Before you buy, check that your body supports third-party autofocus, as the lenses guide explains.
