Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.8 lens, Nikon Z

Viltrox 35 f/1.8 AF - a good base lens for Nikon's Z bayonet

Viltrox 35 f/1.8 AF is Viltrox's vision of a basic lens for Nikon's Z bayonet. The lens is a second generation potretta lens alongside the native lenses. With a short telephoto focal length, the lens is a nice lightweight f/1.8 aperture glass. It is suitable for many shooting purposes despite its length. Background softening is quite effective. The optical formula has an extra-low dispersion element, one aspherical element, and four highly transparent glass elements that reduce all kinds of aberrations. HD Nano multi layer coating reduces flare and it also improves contrast. In addition, the lens' STM focusing motor is fast and quiet. Its shortest focusing distance is 80cm. This Mark II version of this lens is more refined and lighter than its predecessor.

• Potrett fixed focal length lens with a focal length equivalent to 127,5mm in cinema size terms if used on Nikon DX cameras
• The fast f/1.4 aperture is suitable for a wide range of lighting situations and is quite good at controlling background softness.
• Carefully selected elements make a really good impression
• HD Nano Multi-layer coating on individual elements reduce reflections and is water-repellent
• STM Autofocus engine is fast and accurate
• Electronic contacts transfer Exif data between the lens and the body. In addition, the integrated USB port is handy for upgrades
• 9 rounded dimmer leaves make background softening smooth
• The included backlight protector reduces flare and provides some physical protection
