5. Chromatic and spherical aberration

Chromatic aberration

It is not easy to guarantee images completely free of longitudinal chromatic aberration with f/1.2 aperture; still the complex construction of the tested Viltrox, full of special elements, managed this task really fine. Even at the maximum relative aperture out-of-focus images are practically devoid of any unwanted colouring.

Now let's check how the tested lens deals with lateral chromatic aberration – an appropriate graph can be seen below.

As you see, this aberration practically doesn't depend on aperture values, always keeping a level of less than 0.02%. At the same time you have to mention the fact that it is a very low value so lateral aberration won't bother you at all. The Viltrox once again deserves to be praised.

Spherical aberration

In first photos of this chapter you can notice a very delicate focus shift. When you move from f/1.2 to f/1.8 the depth of field slightly shifts towards bigger distances but, fortunately, this effect is not especially pronounced.

Defocused circles of light don't provide any reasons to worry for a change. The ones reached before and behind the focus look very much alike and they are really nice, without any distinct local extreme points.
