Viltrox is bringing its full-frame, autofocus-equipped, 16mm f/1.8 DF lens to Nikon Z-mount cameras, promising “ultimate image quality” and exceptional performance for both video and photo applications.to making optics that professional photographers will take seriously. Almost exactly a year ago, the company launched the 16mm f/1.8 lens for Sony E-mount that caught eyes thanks to its unusual inclusion of a large LCD that displays shooting information.
“The budget lens brands I know don’t care to make wide-open apertures look sharp, don’t add a number of physical controls, or don’t have something as helpful as the Fn2 button. It takes pride to accomplish what Viltrox has done with this lens while maintaining an affordable $550 price. I wasn’t paying any attention to the company before, but I sure am now,”Now the lens is avaialble for Nikon Z-mount, increasing the number of photographers that can experience the outstanding wide-angle prime.
To recap, the Viltrox 16mm f/1.8 is constructed of 15 elements arranged into 12 groups, including four extra-low dispersion optics and three aspherical elements. It has a close focus distance of about 0.27 meters and is powered by a “noiseless” stepping motor that the company says accurately controls the lens for both photo and video applications. It features an aperture range of f/1.8 through f/22 via a nine-bladed aperture diaphragm and a front filter size of 77mm.
