Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.7 Reviews

Much sharper, solid, good price

By Andrew
Rated 5 out of 5

I noticed that the kit lens (16-50mm 3.5) was a bit mushy in the details, particularly indoors. I am no great photographer, and I knew that I could be the problem, but in addition to the mushiness, I wanted something for low light indoor stuff. So after some research, I decided to take a chance on this. Immediately, I could see that my shots were sharper. Not better, mind you, just sharper. I notice that this lens is perhaps a little slower to autofocus, and the motor is more noticeable than the kit lens. On the flip side, it feels far solid and sturdier than the kit. Very happy with the results. Now to learn how to take decent pictures...

A great buy

An amazing value. An aperture ring would be nice, but for the price, I'll live with it.

Unfortunately, the Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.7 Z Lens (Nikon Z) does not offer in-camera lens corrections. The corrections will need to be applied later in software such as Lightroom.
