Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Air lens, Nikon Z

Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Air Nikon Z lens

Viltrox AF 15mm F1.7 Air is a wide-angle lens designed for Nikon Z APS-C cameras, making it suitable for street photography, landscapes, interiors and vlogging. It combines a wide field of view, a bright aperture and smooth autofocus in an easily portable Air-series body.

Wide angle and large aperture

The 84.9° field of view leaves room for the surroundings, architecture, and dynamic street scenes. The f/1.7 aperture helps in low light and enables soft background blurring in close-ups and portrait photography.

Optical structure for a sharp image

The lens has 12 lens elements in 10 groups. ED, high refractive index and aspherical elements reduce chromatic aberration and distortion to keep the image sharp across the entire image frame.

Silent focusing for video too

The STM focusing motor provides fast and quiet autofocus. Support for eye and face detection makes it easier to track moving subjects, and minimised focus breathing makes focus changes more controlled when shooting video.
