- 14mm focal length offers a true ultra wide perspective that captures expansive scenes on full frame Nikon Z bodies
- An optical formula that controls distortion and aberrations well, thanks to ED, HR and aspherical elements
- The nano multi-coating helps to render good levels of contrast and colour even in backlit conditions
- Compact size and lightweight design make this one of the most portable ultra wide primes for Nikon Z
- 58mm filter thread is a useful addition, allowing photographers use compact and widely available very affordable filters
Viltrox AF 14mm f/4 Lens For Nikon Z Mount Summary
The Viltrox AF 14mm f/4 Lens For Nikon Z Mount is a compact ultra wide angle prime lens for Nikon Z mirrorless cameras. It is perfect for creators who want to capture wide views with sharp detail from a lens, which delivers a 112.6° angle of view. This brings a perspective that suits classic ultra wide subjects as diverse as landscapes, interiors, and architecture, while its small size and low weight make it easy to carry to more remote locations.
Viltrox’s optical design features 12 elements in 9 groups, including 4 extra-low dispersion, 2 high refractive index, and 2 aspherical elements, which help to suppress aberrations as well as render good levels of sharpness across the frame. A nano multi-coating reduces ghosting and flare when shooting towards light sources, while the front element has a water-repellent and smudge-resistant layer for easier cleaning.
Autofocus is handled by a tried-and-tested STM motor, which is combined with a lead screw, for quiet and precise performance that is suited to stills and video. The lens features internal focusing, which keeps the length unchanged, and it supports both automatic and manual focus modes when you need to achieve pin sharp accuracy. An electronic aperture mechanism provides smooth control from f/4 through to f/16 for excellent depth of field and front to back sharpness for your compositions.
At just 185g and only 58.4mm long, this lens is surprisingly portable for a full-frame ultra wide. It accepts compact 58mm threaded filters and mounts via a hardened aluminium alloy bayonet. This Viltrox prime is a very appealing choice for Nikon Z photographers who want a no frills lightweight entry into ultra wide photography.

Viltrox AF 14mm f/4 Lens For Nikon Z Mount in More Detail
Ultra wide focal length
With a fixed 14mm focal length, this lens provides an ultra wide 112.6° angle of view on full-frame Nikon Z cameras. The wide perspective is suited to landscapes, interiors, and cityscapes, while on DX-format Z bodies it offers a wide 21mm equivalent view.
Optical construction
The 12-element, 9-group design incorporates 4 extra-low dispersion elements to minimise chromatic aberration, along with 2 aspherical and 2 high refractive index elements to improve sharpness and reduce distortion. Together, these contribute to consistent clarity from centre to edge, which is essential for wide-angle work.
Lens Coatings
A high-definition nano multi-coating reduces flare and ghosting when shooting into backlight, while rendering natural colours and good levels of contrast. The front element also has a water-repellent and smudge-resistant coating, which enables dust and moisture to be wiped away more easily.
Autofocus system
The lens uses Viltrox's stepping motor with lead screw drive, which provides accurate and near-silent operation. This makes it well suited to both still photography and video where smooth, quiet focusing is required. Internal focusing keeps the lens length the same too, which is helpful when using filters or accessories.
Lightweight design
Measuring 68mm wide and 58.4mm long with a weight of only 185g, the Viltrox 14mm f/4 is a portable ultra wide option, that is far lighter than many traditional ultra wide options. It accepts commonly-found 58mm screw-in filters, which are easy to carry and more affordable than larger filter systems often associated with ultra wide lenses. The precision aluminium alloy bayonet ensures a higher degree of long-term reliability.
