Viltrox AF 85mm f/2 Lens for Nikon Z Mount Summary
The Viltrox AF 85mm f/2 Lens for Nikon Z Mount is a compact full-frame prime for portraits, which delivers high optical quality and smooth autofocus for both photography and video content. With a bright f/2.0 aperture it renders soft background separation with very good light gathering abilities for low-light. The classic 85mm focal length is a favourite for subjects such as portraits, events, and creative shots which benefit from subject separation.
Optics include 10 elements in 8 groups, with two extra-low dispersion and two high-refractive index elements that help to minimise chromatic aberrations and maintain good levels of contrast across the frame. The lens also has a high-definition nano multilayer coating that reduces flare and ghosting as well as repelling water and fingerprints from the element.
Autofocus is driven by Viltrox’s quiet STM stepping motor which is accurate and responsive when capturing stills, providing smooth transitions during video recording. A minimum focusing distance of 0.74m allows for close-ups and headshots with very low distortion.
The lens is precision-machined in aluminium alloy, and weighs around 360g, which is comfortable to carry all day and use on any Nikon Z full-frame or DX camera. It also includes dust and moisture resistance, with a compact 58mm front filter thread, and a USB-C port for firmware updates.
