Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 Lens for Nikon Z Summary
Combining excellent image quality with brand new features for full-frame Nikon Z creators, the Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 Lens for Nikon Z mount is an ultra wide prime lens with autofocus for creative stills and video.
Viltrox includes 3 aspherical lenses in the optical design to accurately reproduce point light sources, and effectively suppress coma. This ensures the AF 16mm f/1.8 is a brilliant option for demanding applications like landscape photography and astro, which is capable of rendering high resolution, extremely detailed results.
A large aperture complements the 16mm ultra wide field of view for dynamic portraits, vlogs and video recording, where sharp in-focus subjects meet soft out-of-focus areas in the image. The quiet stepping motor (STM) provides high driving force for precise autofocus and subject tracking, and the lens fully supports Nikon’s powerful face and eye subject recognition.
When you need to focus stack images or record smooth focus pulls during moviemaking the Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 Lens demonstrates negligible focus breathing, and it includes a de-click switch for silent and stepless aperture changes.
Notably a 0.96-inch colour LCD screen on the lens barrel provides realtime shooting information such as aperture and focus distance, while two Fn buttons offer versatile customisation to streamline your workflow.

Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 Lens for Nikon Z in More Detail
Stunning optical performance
The Viltrox AF 16mm F1.8 Full Frame Lens For Nikon Z-Mount can accurately reproduce point light sources and effectively suppress chromatic aberration, thanks to an advanced optical design, which is well suited to landscape photography, astro and cityscapes.
Additionally, the front lens element doesn’t protrude with a bulb-type design, which is common for ultra wide angle lenses. This enables the addition of screw-type lens filters as well as mounting square landscape filter systems onto the 77mm thread.
Lens Information Display
A convenient top panel colour LCD screen, measuring 160 x 80 pixels, provides immediate access to current shooting settings like focus distance, function buttons, and aperture settings. The colour display makes it easier to quickly identify and change settings, enhancing workflow efficiency.
De-clickable Aperture Ring
For videography or photography in quiet settings, you can toggle the aperture clicks on or off using a dedicated switch. Additional controls on the barrel include a focus mode selector (MF/AF) and customisable buttons (Fn1/Fn2).
9-Blade Aperture
This ultra wide angle lens delivers pleasing bokeh and smooth background blur, a result of its bright aperture combined with a nine-blade aperture design. Ideal for creating a shallow depth of field, it helps separate your subject, including yourself when vlogging, from background distractions.
Robust and lightweight design
At around 565g and a body made entirely from metal ensures this Sony E lens is lightweight and durable for outdoor use. The front element features an HD nano multi-layer coating, with water-resistant and anti-smear coating and the lens is dust sealed.
Lastly, users will find a USB-C plug available for convenient firmware upgrades to keep the lens up to date when firmware is available.
