Viltrox lens | AF 16mm | F/1.8L

16mm Focal Length: Ultra-Wide Angle for Landscapes, Architecture, Interiors, Astro, and Video

With a 16mm focal length, the Viltrox AF 16mm F/1.8 L opens up impressive perspectives and maximum visual impact. The ultra-wide angle is perfect for vast landscapes, modern architecture, interior shots, or creative vlogs and videos. The wide angle of view also offers ideal conditions for astrophotography, allowing you to capture the night sky in rich detail and expansive breadth. More scene, more depth, more dynamics – all in one image.

f/1.8 Aperture: Fast Wide-Angle with Clean Sharpness Right into the Corners

The large maximum aperture of f/1.8 ensures excellent light intake and enables fast shutter speeds even in difficult lighting conditions. Whether at twilight, indoors, or shooting the starry sky – the lens delivers bright, clear images with clean sharpness right to the edges, while also allowing for creative subject separation in the wide-angle range.

Optical Design 15/12: 15 Elements in 12 Groups with ED and Aspherical Elements

The complex optical design consisting of 15 elements in 12 groups with ED and aspherical elements effectively minimizes chromatic aberrations, distortion, and edge softness. The HD Nano coating reduces flares and ghosting in backlit situations, resulting in strong contrasts, natural colors, and high detail fidelity – ideal for modern high-resolution full-frame sensors.

Quiet STM Autofocus – Precise for Photo and Video

The modern STM motor with lead-screw technology operates quickly, precisely, and almost silently. This makes the lens attractive not only for photography but especially for video recording. Focus transitions look smooth and professional, while subjects are reliably tracked – perfect for content creators and filmmakers.

Optimized Handling – Perfect for Gimbals and Rigs

Thanks to internal focusing, the physical length remains constant during focusing, significantly improving balance on gimbals and rigs. Weighing only approx. 550 g, the lens is pleasantly light and compact, making it ideal for mobile setups, travel, or longer shoots.

Modern Features & High Compatibility

The Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 is specifically developed for L-Mount full-frame cameras and offers practical extras such as a 77mm filter thread for ND or polarizing filters as well as a USB-C port for easy firmware updates. An integrated lens display shows focus distance, aperture, and presets directly on the lens. This allows you to keep an eye on all settings, ensuring your setup remains technically up-to-date at all times.
