Optical Design
  • Ultra-wide prime lens designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras where it provides a 20mm equivalent to full-frame 35mm focal length.
  • Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and helps to maintain a relatively compact form factor.
  • 14 lens elements in 11 groups provide a sophisticated optical design. Two aspherical lens elements are optimized for distortion and off-axis optical aberration allowing the lens to maintain excellent resolution throughout the entire focusing range.
  • Four ED (extra-low dispersion) lens elements greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations to produce greater clarity and color accuracy no matter which aperture you choose.
  • Designed for smooth video capture, the lens effectively eliminates focus breathing when changing focusing distances while shooting video.
  • STM autofocus motor provides fast and responsive AF down to a minimum object distance of just 8.7".
  • Nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

Clear, bright, and Affordable WIDE Prime Lens

Bought this for Fuji X-mount. Absolutely love this lens. The build quality is as good as any native Fuji lens, and the image quality is on par. The aperture ring turns smoothly with satisfying detents and the focusing ring is also smooth, if you're using manual focus. The image quality is clear and bright. There aren't a lot of options for wide angle lenses for X-mount...so definitely put this on your shortlist if you're looking for one. I took it to try at a friend's recital, and the width and breadth and scale that you can get exceeded expectations. In a darkened concert hall, this had no problem capturing a good image, and I'm certain your sensor will give up before this does. The only thing I can think of that may be a con is that this is a chunky lens - bigger than the viltrox 23, 33...it's great for city/architecture photos but you will definitely stand out in the crowd.

I have purchased 3 of the lenses for a Z 30 . As of the new firmware update they are not working. As of 5-12-2023. I did a test with a Z5 and ZFC and Z5 . They are working fine. Beware and I hope Nikon fixes this issue. I have the 13MM and 23MM and 56MM

I bought one month ago this Lens for my Fuji XT4 and it's been making great quality photos, the brightness is amazing, is not a heavy lens and come with a little bag to keep it. I didn't know about Viltrox before I bought this Len's and I will keep buying staff from this Brand!!

Perfect lens for a gimbal, long shots and unusual close ups. Very sharp and versatile. Once you use it, you can be without it.

Viltrox is changing things

I'm awfully impressed with this lens, and with what Viltrox is doing lately with some other new lenses for Fuji. They are actually competing with Fuji's own impressive lens line-up, often finding the gaps. It's not just the value - that's all third party manufacturers to one degree or another, it's the quality they are attaining at that price. I've used this lens for astro, and landscape, but I think it has more potential than just those obvious uses. Great image quality, focus is great, and construction is solid.

Viltrox AG 13mm

I was looking for a decent lens to use for my YouTube channel. So like most I went down the YT rabbit hole and watched several videos about the lens. When I finally decided to pull the trigger and order the lens the anticipation was building. Once I received the lens I was absolutely pleased. Everything mentioned on YT was pretty accurate. This lens is great for talking head and should be used on a tripod. I haven't tried yet with my gimbal, I am absolutely satisfied and I think the 13mm is very versatile when filming video or vlogs. As a newbie to lenses, I made a great choice and so will you if you go the Viltrox route.
