Viltrox 35mm f/1.8 Overview

Compact and comfortable, the 35mm f/1.8 Lens from Viltrox is a wide-angle prime lens designed for full-frame-format Nikon Z mirrorless cameras. The versatile wide field of view is suitable for a broad range of subjects from portraiture to reportage, and the fast f/1.8 design excels in low-light conditions and for shallow depth of field applications. The optical design incorporates extra-low dispersion and high refractive index elements to suppress a variety of aberrations and distortion, and an HD Nano multi-layer coating has also been applied to reduce flare and ghosting for greater contrast in bright and backlit conditions.

Complementing the optics, the lens's design also incorporates an STM stepping motor that affords fast, near silent, and accurate autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focusing design also contributes to quick performance. Additionally, the lens features an integrated micro-USB port for making future firmware updates to the lens.

Love my Z6ii but hate the cost of the lenses. I was running the FTZ and older lenses till I discovered Viltrox. At 1/2 the price the photos are just as sharp,clear and crisp as the big money lenses. The only reason this got 4 and not 5 was the hood. Someone really dropped the ball on it....

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

Really liking this lens

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.

The quality, when on camera is outstanding Still wish I had the money to stay on original Nikons Got the biggest bummer when I realized
