Viltrox AF 24mm f/1.8 Lens for Nikon Z

The 24mm f/1.8 Lens from Viltrox is distinguished by its elegant design and is specifically crafted as a 24mm wide-angle prime lens for Nikon Z full-frame mirrorless cameras. This versatile wide-angle focal length, combined with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, is ideal for various lighting situations and provides improved control over depth of field, allowing for the isolation of subjects through selective focus techniques. The optical configuration includes three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements, which work together to minimize various aberrations while delivering exceptional sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity. Additionally, three high refractive index elements are incorporated to further reduce aberrations and distortion, and an HD Nano multi-layer coating has been applied to mitigate flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast in bright and backlit environments.

This compact lens features an STM stepping motor that ensures rapid, nearly silent, and precise autofocus performance, along with the convenience of full-time manual focus override. The internal focusing design also aids in achieving swift performance. Constructed with durable metal, the lens includes an integrated USB Type-C port for future firmware updates.

• Prime wide-angle lens designed for full-frame Nikon Z mirrorless cameras; however, can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 36mm equivalent focal length.
  
  
• Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field.
  
  
• Three extra-low dispersion elements reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
  
  
• Two aspherical elements help to control spherical aberrations and reduce distortion in order to realize high sharpness and accurate rendering.
  
  
• Three high refractive index elements help to control spherical aberrations and reduce distortion in order to realize high sharpness and accurate rendering.
  
  
• When used for astrophotography, the combination of aspherical elements and highly refractive ED elements greatly reduce radial glare to accurately render point light sources with clear colors.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Eye Autofocus supported on enabled cameras.
  
  
• Integrated manual aperture ring for tactile exposure control; this ring also features an 'A' position for automated, camera-based aperture selection.
  
  
• Nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
  
  
• Integrated USB Type-C port for firmware updates.
