The Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB Z Lens for Nikon Z-mount will bring a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture to Nikon shooters looking for a solid option for low-light scenes and run-and-gun scenarios. Similar to other previous Viltrox lenses the lens should be quite versatile and feature some helpful focus motor features as well as solid protection against the elements.
Let’s look at the Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB Z lens and explore what it could offer for any interested Nikon photographers or videographers considering it for their projects.
The Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB Z Lens
Designed as a telephoto prime that is already a popular option for many Sony E-mount shooters thanks to its compression level, excellent sharpness, and autofocus performance, this new Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB Z Lens for Nikon Z-mount cameras utilizes a VCM focus motor that allows the lens to function quickly and quietly for smooth studio sessions.
The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture is also ideal for working under low-light scenarios, further enabling shooters to explore portraiture in outdoor situations and experience beautiful bokeh in their compositions.
The lens includes two Fn buttons too, which should help ensure that your favorite custom settings are always easily accessible. Additionally, the lens is protected by a multilayer nanocoating that prevents water, dust, and fouling damage.
