Top reviews from the United States
- AlessandroAn absolute GEMThe Viltrox 40mm f/2.5 Z Mount lens is an absolute gem for Nikon mirrorless shooters. It's incredibly compact and lightweight, making it the perfect everyday walk-around lens. The autofocus is fast, accurate, and near-silent, while the image quality is stunningly sharp, even wide open at f/2.5. The smooth bokeh is a dream for portrait shots. It offers a fantastic, versatile focal length in a tiny, affordable package. It punches way above its price point and is a must-have in any Z-mount kit.
- Since-1993An excellent buy for a high quality wide angle lensPeople probably get their reviews of camera equipment from photography sites, and then consider whether to buy from Amazon. I bought this here because I had accumulated a lot of points, and I decided to get myself a present. The selkler is the manufacturer (Viltrox), and it came well packaged and quickly.
I am extremely happy with this lens. It is sharp, it is very "fast" (at f1.8, it can shoot at much higher speeds with equivalent ISOs than most lenses near its price), and it has surprisingly little distortion (vertical straight lines on the edges of photos do not "lean in"; they are vertical as they should be). There is modest vignetting (images are slightly darker in the edges) but this is easily corrected with editing software.
The lens is good for landscapes and wide group shots. I use it on a Nikon Z8 which has so many pixels that I can pick out whatever smaller part of the photo I like and enlarge. That doesn't defeat the purpose of having an extreme wide angle; it just increases my flexibility when this lens is on the camera. I have just barely tried using it to take night sky photos. It captured the stars well (you need a fast lens to have a short exposure to avoid "star trails"), but I will need more practice/experience to see if I can do the amazing Milky Way Galaxy shots that I have seen from others.
The lens is sturdy and feels well made. I got it on sale for 20% off, but it's standard price is still very reasonable. - Blues CrabA beautiful, exotic lens for Nikon Z-mountsThis lens is Viltrox's top of the line, and it shows. All the surfaces are durable, functional, well thought out. The lens is heavy--a huge amount of glass here--about as much as I want to hand-hold. With that in mind, I wish it had some provision for a tripod mount like Nikon's 200mm f2 & pretty much any 300mm f2.8. You will absolutely need some sort of grip on your camera to avoid dropping the rig. The lighted, digital aperture/distance scale is useful & attractive, but I think I'd prefer an analog aperture ring/scale; we'll see how much of an impact running this lens has on the battery life of my Nikon Zfc.
My initial opinion is that this lens is sharp, and color rendition looks good. It focuses very quickly, but at this focal length the depth of field can get incredibly shallow so one needs to be mindful of what it's actually focusing on. It features a focus-limit switch with several settings along with a couple of function buttons. I'll certainly use those.
One anomaly I discovered is that my Windows 10 workstation failed to recognize the lens when I plugged in the USB to check on the firmware. My Viltrox 75mm f1.2 lens was recognized immediately, and the update was a simple drag-and-drop. I discovered that the 135mm f1.8 update needs to be accomplished through the Viltrox app on my phone. That worked well; the 75mm f1.2 lens is not connected in that way.
The 135mm f1.8 is a specialized tool for those times when I simply can't get any closer to my subject, don't want to crop during editing, or want its unique optical effects. The reader might conclude that I've gone down the rabbit hole of fast, prime lenses rather than zooms, which is true. Zoom lenses that start around f4 and run up to f6.3 or so just seem to be trying to do too much. Most of the Nikkor Z-lenses appear physically larger & slower than their F-mount counterparts. If I'm going to carry a big lens, it needs to be special in some way. I think the Viltrox 135mm f1.8 is. Also, my impression is that DSLR mirrors are brighter than digital mirrorless viewfinders. Having a faster lens on a Z-mount camera is worth the tradeoffs in portability, convenience, and expense for me.
The photo below was taken with a Nikon Zfc on FINE on a tripod at 1/60 f8 at an effective focal length of 202mm. - J. L. BredinIt just works!It sounds like a low bar, but it just works is miles above a lot of other inexpensive third-party lenses. I wouldn't describe the auto focus as fast, but it's more than sufficient for a wide angle lens where the generous depth of field makes sharpness less critical.
There's a bit of vignetting, which you might not even notice after you've composed your shot. Editing my photos, I notice there's some color quantizing. (The posted examples are unedited, aside from converting from NEF to JPG, taken on a Nikon Zf.)
It's not a macro lens, but the minimum focus distance is generous, allowing you to compose beautiful backgrounds on close subjects. 20mm is a nice focal length in that there's not a lot of distortion and you can get a lot of depth stopping down just a bit.
The lens is lightweight, which might feel cheap to some, but if you've got several prime lenses in your bag, you might appreciate. There's no rattle and the focus ring operation is smooth, so I don't have any doubts of the build quality. There's no aperture ring, so there's less complexity.
I appreciate the lens hood, if anything just to protect the frontal element when I set the camera down.
For travel, this lens has become a go-to for me. It's lightweight, simple, not-to-dear, and 20mm full-frame seems to work for a wide variety of shots.
