  • Works great
Size: 16mm-1.8 Z
Autofocus is fast and accurate. Took it to Yosemite for a week and the pictures came out superb. Overall, great for the price. The lens feels solid. The aperture is a manual turn of the ring on the lens so you can't adjust aperture on camera, that took getting used to. all in all its a pretty nice lens. ... show more

  • Good for the price
Size: 16mm-1.8 Z
This is a great price for this lens. I can’t compare it to my Nikon Z prime lenses, but it’s not bad for. Wide angle lens. Not as fast and sharp as expected, it shows some vignetting, over all, it’s a 7/10

  • Great Lens
Size: 16mm-1.8 Z
I bought this lens several months ago and have put it through some tough tryouts. For reference, I don’t usually use non Nikon branded lens. Several brands have really let me down, wanted my money. This lens is different. It’s light, well made, takes filters easy, it has the illuminated settings window which is super useful in low light and the aperture ring. I’ve grown quite fond of this lens and have used it in a variety of situations. Including desert sky/landscape, concert music festival, editorial assignments this lens has performed flawlessly and is a joy to use. I’ve paired it with my Nikon Z9 but I am sure no matter the camera it will perform just as good. The company packages it well and I can tell they take great pride in the manufacture of this lens, even though it is deemed a bargain lens. I will not hesitate to buy another lens from Viltox ... show more

Very sharp, great build quality and great price. Used on Z8 and prefer it to the plastic Nikon Z85 F1.8!

  • For the price, this is a bargain...
Size: 85mm-1.8 Z
After reading the negative reviews on here, my hope is that I did not get a faulty lens as I have had this now for a day and am blown away by sharpness, depth and bokeh, this lens produces. In six months to a year I will follow up on this review in regards to the longevity of its build construction. But as of right now the only true complain - and more an annoyance and a big one - is the lens hood. It's poorly constructed and does not attach smoothly. For such an oversight is really mindblowing. A properly fitting hood is essential for a lens. This one is truly poor in build quality and is not easy to use at all and can see myself easily getting in jammed or broken. Odd to have Viltrox skimp on such a simple thing... ... show more

  • Sharp
Size: 16mm-1.8 Z
16mm f1.8 Z mount. Pleasantly surprised, wish I could somehow give 4.5 stars, only because the of 2 things, the corner could be sharper, but I expected that in the reviews, and the aperture can only be selected by lens ring, but there is an aperture selection ring! That could be exceptionally convenient. Silent! you can barely hear it focus in a somewhat quiet room, can't wait to take some astrophotography shots. The attached photo was shot at f5.6 iso 400 speed 125. ... show more
