Viltrox AF 23mm f/1.4 Z Lens | Nikon Z, Black

Distinguished by its elegant and adaptable design, the Viltrox AF 23mm f/1.4 Z is a wide-angle prime lens specifically crafted for APS-C format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. The versatile wide-angle focal length, combined with the bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, is ideal for various lighting conditions and allows for improved control over depth of field, facilitating the isolation of subjects through selective focus techniques. The optical configuration includes a pair of extra-low dispersion elements and a pair of high refractive index elements, which work together to minimize various aberrations while delivering exceptional sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity. Furthermore, an HD Nano multi-layer coating has been applied to mitigate flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast in bright and backlit scenarios.

This compact lens features an STM stepping motor that ensures rapid, nearly silent, and precise autofocus performance, along with full-time manual focus override. The internal focusing design further enhances its quick performance. Additionally, the lens is equipped with an integrated micro-USB port for future firmware updates. The black finish of the lens complements cameras with a similar aesthetic.

• Prime wide-angle lens is designed for APS-C-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 35mm equivalent focal length.
  
  
• Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture suits working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field.
  
  
• Two extra-low dispersion elements reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
  
  
• Two high refractive index elements help to control spherical aberrations and reduce distortion in order to realize high sharpness and accurate rendering.
  
  
• HD Nano multi-layer coating has been applied to individual elements to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
  
  
• STM stepping motor enables quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. Additionally, an internal focusing design maintains the overall lens length during use for improved handling and quicker response.
