Description — Viltrox 20mm f/1.8
The Viltrox 20mm f/1.8 Ultra-Wide Prime is a manual-focus prime lens designed specifically for the Nikon Z mount mirrorless system. Its 20mm fixed focal length combined with a f/1.8 maximum aperture makes it a capable choice for photographers who work in challenging lighting conditions or who want to maximize the depth-of-field control available at wider angles. The lens is built to cover a full-frame sensor, ensuring no vignetting or field-of-view reduction on compatible full-frame Nikon Z bodies.
Weighing in at 782 grams, the lens has a substantial build that feels purposeful in hand. The 82mm filter thread accommodates a wide range of standard photographic filters. With no image stabilization and manual-focus-only operation, this lens rewards deliberate, considered shooting and is particularly well matched to tripod-based work in landscape, architectural, and night photography contexts.
