Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 Overview

By B&H Photo's
High-Resolution Ultrawide Prime Lens
Featuring an ultrawide angle of view for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras, the Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 FE Lens is an ideal choice for a wide variety of photographic pursuits, including landscape and architecture photography, astrophotography, and creative videography requiring close-up capabilities with expansive backgrounds.
Outstanding Optics
A large-aperture, high-resolution prime, the Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 FE offers outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness with soft and natural bokeh. Engineered for photo and video applications, this robust and lightweight lens is equally adept for photographers and videographers alike. 4 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and 3 aspherical elements combine to achieve outstanding sharpness, while also reducing sagittal coma flare, which distorts the shapes of stars. The optical design also minimizes ghosting and flare when shooting starry skies and long exposure night scenes.
Intelligent and Rugged Design
Easy-to-access aperture switch enabling clicked and de-clicked operation. When switched to OFF, the stepless aperture mode quietly facilitates smooth depth-of-field transitions during video shooting.
Built-in AF/MF switch for quickly alternating between autofocus and manual focus modes.
Fn1 and Fn2 custom buttons allow for rapid access to key functions with select Sony cameras.
Sophisticated LCD screen displays important shooting information including object distance, Fn icons, and aperture identification.
The all-metal body and brass bayonet mount provide a professional and reliable connection to Sony E-mount camera bodies.
Dust- and water-resistant design for use in adverse weather conditions.
USB-C interface for firmware upgrades.
Compatible with 77mm filters for optional widely available landscape filters.
