Viltrox AF 75mm F/1.2 XF Pro Lens For Fujifilm X (Sample Images)
I’m enjoying using the Viltrox AF 75mm F/1.2 XF Pro Lens For Fujifilm X, and I will do a full review soon.
However, to whet the appetite, I wanted to share a few images I shot this last weekend.
One of my great friends, Gareth, organised a charity cycle ride from Castell Caernarfon to Castell Cas-Gwent (Chepstow) for the wonderful Fatboys Charity, which raises funds for Children with Cancer.
If you so wish, you can still support this mammoth effort via their Just Giving Fundraising Page.
Gareth himself is undergoing Chemo for Stage 4 cancer right now, so along with Ian, John and Simon, this was truly an enormous effort to cycle the whole length of Wales in under two days.
My role was as support driver and photographer, so I took the new Viltrox 75mm along for the ride (see what I did there?).
All images were edited with my Film Edition 3 Profiles & Presets.

As mentioned, I will do a full review once I’ve used the lens a bit more but I wanted to shoot as near to wide open when possible to really test the AF Tracking on the Fujifilm X-T5 along with the lovely depth of field offered by such a narrow aperture on this focal length camera.
Viltrox AF 75mm F/1.2 XF Pro Sample Images Set 2
It’s not the smallest of lenses, but it seems incredibly well-built, and I had no issues using it in the brutal weather at the top of the enormous mountain outside of Machynlleth.
Viltrox AF 75mm F/1.2 XF Pro Sample Images Set 3
All in all, I really enjoyed using the Viltrox 75mm F1.2 especially given I don’t have anything with that aperture in that focal range from the Fujfilm system.
More on this lens soon.
A complete black and white Profile, Preset & Workflow Pack for Lightroom
Film Edition 5 - Workflow Series (Monochrome) is a structured set of Lightroom profiles and presets designed to help you achieve a finished monochrome look quickly and consistently.
This is not a random “pick a look and hope” pack. It’s designed as a repeatable workflow you can run on a full set of images, with fixes and finishing tools when you need them.
If you edit regularly in Lightroom, you already know the problem. You want a strong black-and-white style, but you also need it to behave consistently across different scenes, lighting conditions, and subjects. This pack is designed to help you move fast without the work looking rushed.
You start with one of the custom monochrome profiles to establish the tonal foundation, then shape the image with workflow presets that are designed to work with that profile rather than fight against it. From there, you can use the included Toolkit for things like AI masking, grain, curves, highlight control, sharpening, finishing touches, and everyday problem-solving inside Lightroom. The product page positions the pack exactly this way, with the profile first, workflow second, then utilities and finishers to refine only when needed.
Built for speed and consistency
If you edit your photos in Lightroom, you already know the problem: you want a strong monochrome style, but you also need it to work across different scenes without constant fighting.
This pack helps you move fast without the work looking rushed.
Fast workflow: fewer decisions, clearer steps.
Consistent results: the set hangs together as a series.
Film-inspired tonality: depth, shape, and texture without the “preset look”.
Useful fixes included: real-world Lightroom problems, solved quickly.
