Distinguished by its sleek design and advanced optics, the Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.8 Z is a portrait-length prime designed for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. The lens's short-telephoto focal length pairs with the bright f/1.8 design to suit working in a variety of lighting conditions and also for controlling depth of field and isolating subject matter. The optical design comprises one extra-low dispersion element and four elements made from short wavelength, highly transparent glass, which help to reduce chromatic aberrations in order to realize high clarity and accurate colors. An HD Nano multi-layer coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting for improved contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. Additionally, the lens features an STM motor for quick, quiet autofocus performance along with a minimum focusing distance of 2.6' for working with close-up subjects.

Portrait-length prime is designed for FX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with DX models where it provides a 127.5mm equivalent focal length.

Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers a wealth of control over focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.

One extra-low dispersion element and four elements made from highly transparent glass contribute to reducing a variety of aberrations in order to produce well-corrected imagery with accurate color and no color fringing.

HD Nano multi-layer coating has been applied to individual elements to reduce flare and ghosting for improved contrast. Also, this coating is water-resistant to help protect the exposed surfaces from moisture.

STM autofocus motor delivers quiet and precise focusing performance along with a minimum focusing distance of 2.6'.

Electronic contacts convey Exif data as well as permit camera-based aperture selection. Additionally, an integrated USB port permits updating the lens's firmware.

Nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

Included lens hood shades the front element from flare-causing stray light and also offers some additional physical protection.

I purchased Z mount to use on Nikon Z6ii. I photograph events and my main lens is S series 24-120, I needed a lens for low light situations therefore I bought 24 mm viltrox lens. I have no re grates with my purchase. 5

I purchased this mainly for video for my Nikon Z6. It performs comparably to my other Nikon brand Z primes (35mm f1.8 for example) in terms of speed of focusing and shooting experience. I haven't pixel peeped the photos taken with this lens but for video it works very well and quietly. Build quality is tight and excellent. Viltrox is a leader in value/quality ratio in my opinion. In addition to being significantly lower price than the Nikon brand equivalent Z lens, this lens is actually a little more compact in size which I like for gimbal use. 5

Even after reading positive reviews, I was pleasantly surprised at the sharpness of the photos that took in with the Viltrox mounted on my Nikon Z5. I can only recommend highly. 5

Chris	22/08/2024
I've had this lens for the price. Nice bokeh. Not much difference between it and the Nikon for half the price. 5

Ross	01/08/2024
Thought I'd take a chance on this lens and really glad I did. Excellent build quality, tack-sharp images, completely silent operation, and perfect mating with the Z6ii controls... all for half the price of the Nikkor. Recommended. 5

I love this lens. The image quality is great and it was super affordable. Works like original nikon lenses. I highly recommend this product. 5

I was looking for a wide lens that could handle low-light situations in restaurants and night clubs, which I visit a few times a year. I couldn't afford the Nikon one, so I decided to give the Viltrox 24/1.8 a try when I saw it on sale for only $290. After testing it for a few days, I think it's a decent lens for the money. It's not as sharp as the Nikon 24/1.8 in the corners, and it has some vignetting. I wouldn't use it for landscapes (I prefer a zoom lens anyway, and this one is not weather-sealed). But I'm happy with it for night shots and club scenes. 5

best value ! 5

Interfaces with Nikon Z cameras well. F stop of 1.8 makes it a little bulky and heavy, but takes great sharp fotos. 5

Richard	19/05/2024
Yes its not cheap like a TTArtisan manual focus lens, but for the price compared to a Nikon z lens, this is an absolute steal. I use it with my OG z6 camera and the images are great. Focuses accurately and fairly quickly. I have not compared it to the 24mm z lens, but I'm quite happy for the price I paid for it. I cannot speak for it in terms of build quality longevity since I've only had it for 1 month, but from the outside it seems very well constructed. 5
