High-aperture premium portrait lens with professional autofocus
The Viltrox AF 50mm f/1.4 Z-mount is a high-performance standard and portrait lens for Nikon Z full-frame cameras. With its extremely fast aperture, precise autofocus including eye autofocus, and high-quality optical construction, it delivers razor-sharp images with beautiful bokeh – ideal for portraits, street photography, reportage, and low-light photography.
50 mm focal length – The versatile all-rounder for natural perspectives
The classic 50mm focal length corresponds to the natural field of view of the human eye. This results in particularly realistic and harmonious images – ideal for portraits, everyday scenes, travel, or street photography. A true all-rounder lens for every situation.
f/1.4 aperture – Breathtaking bokeh & strong low-light performance
Thanks to the large f/1.4 aperture, you can achieve impressive subject isolation with creamy bokeh and clear subject separation. At the same time, you benefit from more light reaching the sensor – perfect for available light shooting, indoors, or night photography, all without high ISO values.
Optical design 15/11: 15 lenses in 11 groups, including 3 ED, 8 HR and 1 U-ASP elements
The sophisticated optical design combines ED, HR, and aspherical elements for maximum sharpness and minimal aberrations. Chromatic aberrations, distortion, and blur are effectively reduced – for razor-sharp details, high contrast, and brilliant colors right to the edges of the image, even at wide apertures.
HD Nano coating: Multi-layer coating, water and dirt repellent, reduced flares and ghosting
The engineered optical unit with 15 elements in 11 groups ensures outstanding image quality and effectively reduces chromatic aberrations, distortion, and flare. This results in high-resolution images right to the edges, with strong contrast, natural colors, and razor-sharp details. This allows you to unlock the full potential of modern, high-resolution Nikon Z sensors in every shot.
VCM Autofocus: Fast, quiet, precise for photos and videos
The modern VCM (Voice Coil Motor) autofocus focuses quickly, precisely, and almost silently. Perfect for spontaneous photo moments, Eye AF portraits, or smooth focus tracking in video. This ensures your subject remains reliably in focus at all times – even when moving.
Robust metal housing: Stable construction for intensive use
The high-quality metal housing impresses with its durable, professional workmanship and pleasant feel. Designed for daily use in the studio or on location, the lens reliably withstands even demanding shoots.
Close focusing distance 45 cm: Detailed shots from short distances
With a minimum focusing distance of just 45 cm, you can capture impressive detail shots and creative close-ups with a natural perspective. Ideal for product details, small scenes, or expressive portraits with exceptional proximity to the subject.
Intuitive operation & updates: Aperture ring, Fn button and USB-C
The precise aperture ring with click-switch allows for quick, direct adjustments – ideal for photography or smooth aperture control in video. A freely assignable Fn button ensures even more efficient workflows. Firmware updates can also be easily installed via the integrated USB-C port, keeping your lens technically up-to-date at all times.
