Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.8 Z Lens for Nikon Z

Product Description

Create flattering portraits with beautiful background separation using the Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.8 Z Lens for Nikon Z. Designed for full-frame Nikon Z cameras, this classic 85mm prime provides a 28°46′ angle of view, making it well suited to portraits, weddings, events, lifestyle photography, and low-light shooting. Its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture gives photographers greater control over depth of field while providing useful available-light performance.

The lens features a 10-element, 7-group optical design incorporating one ED element and four short-wavelength, high-transparency elements. Viltrox’s HD Nano multilayer coating helps reduce flare and ghosting while supporting contrast and color fidelity. A nine-blade diaphragm contributes to smooth, attractive out-of-focus rendering.

For everyday shooting, the STM autofocus motor provides quiet focusing, while internal focusing keeps the overall lens length constant during operation. The lens focuses as close as 0.8m and provides 0.13x magnification, making it useful for tighter portraits and detail shots. Electronic contacts support EXIF data and camera-based aperture control, while the built-in USB port enables firmware updates.
