Description — Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 Z
The Viltrox AF 23mm f/1.4 Z is a wide-angle prime lens built specifically for APS-C format cameras on the Nikon Z mount. Its fixed 23mm focal length makes it a natural choice for street, travel, architecture, and documentary photography, while the f/1.4 maximum aperture gives you strong creative control over depth of field and the ability to work in a wide range of lighting conditions. The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus, giving you flexibility in how you engage with your subject.
Weighing in at only 260g, it's easy to carry all day, and the 52mm filter thread makes accessorizing straightforward. The mirrorless-native design integrates cleanly with compatible Nikon Z-mount bodies. It's worth noting that this lens has no built-in image stabilization, so photographers shooting handheld in challenging conditions will want to rely on any body-based stabilization available in their camera.
