Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.8 Z Lens for Nikon Z
Characterized by its refined, lighter design, the Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.8 XF II represents the second iteration of this portrait-length prime lens tailored for FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras. The lens's short-telephoto focal length, combined with its bright f/1.8 aperture, makes it suitable for various lighting situations while also allowing for effective depth of field control and subject isolation. Its optical construction includes one extra-low dispersion element, one aspherical element, and four elements crafted from highly transparent glass, all of which contribute to minimizing chromatic and spherical aberrations, thereby achieving exceptional clarity and sharpness. Furthermore, an HD Nano multi-layer coating has been applied to mitigate flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast in challenging lighting environments. The lens is also equipped with an STM motor, ensuring rapid and silent autofocus performance, along with a minimum focusing distance of 2.6 feet, making it ideal for capturing 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.
