The Viltrox AF 50mm f/1.4 Pro Z is a full-frame autofocus prime lens designed for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras, offering strong performance for portraits, street, low-light, and video work.

Key Specifications

• Focal length provides a natural 46.6° viewing angle on full-frame sensors.​

• Minimum focus distance of 0.45m (average for 50mm lenses) with quiet, fast Dual HyperVCM autofocus and minimal breathing.​

• Optical design: 15 elements in 11 groups (3 ED, 8 HR, 1 UA); f/1.4 aperture for creamy bokeh; 67mm filter thread.

Build and Features

All-metal construction includes weather sealing, USB-C for firmware updates, customizable Fn button, clickable aperture ring, and AF/MF switch.
Dimensions are solid but larger/heavier than some rivals like Nikon’s Z 50mm f/1.4 S; weighs around 500-600g based on reviews.​

Image Quality

Center sharpness excels even at f/1.4, with mid-frame nearly matching top natives; corners soften slightly wide open but improve by f/2-f/2.8.​
Vignetting is heavy (2EV) at f/1.4 but correctable (Nikon profile helps); low distortion/CAs, good contrast, and pleasing bokeh with few caveats like axial CA.
