Minimized Focus Breathing, Quick AF Performance
Minimized focus shift allows smoother video transitions.

Breathing reduction contributes to more consistent framing.

Driving autofocus performance is Viltrox's patented HyperVCM motor, which the company claims delivers 150% faster focusing than traditional STM motors.

Superb Optical Design
  • Two high refractive index lenses and four extra-low dispersion lenses are utilized throughout the lens's optical construction, which overall features fourteen elements in nine groups for effectively reducing distortion and minimizing chromatic aberration. Simultaneously, this design enhances image quality and contrast, helping to create photos with accurate color reproduction.
  • Its 2.4' minimum focusing distance allows capturing detailed, close-up images.
  • An eleven-blade diaphragm and f/1.8 maximum aperture help produce creamy and circular bokeh, even in low light.
Proven Durability
An advanced dust- and moisture-resistant design helps protect the AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB Z from any water droplets or dust that could negatively impact its internal components.

The front lens element features a water- and stain-resistant coating for repelling liquids and fingerprints from sticking.

The lens's magnesium-aluminum alloy structure further heightens its reliability and helps ensure minor impacts won't compromise its performance.

Additional Lens Benefits
  • Customizable Fn buttons, a multi-function ring, and a focus limiter are all featured on the lens barrel, giving users exceptional control of their settings right at their fingertips.
  • USB-C port for quick and easy firmware updates.
  • 92mm filter thread for wide compatibility with lens accessories.
