16 mm focal length: Ultra-wide angle for landscape, architecture, interiors, astro and video

With a 16 mm focal length, the Viltrox AF 16 mm 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 detail and with a wide field of view. More scene, more depth, more dynamism – all in one image.

Aperture f/1.8: Fast wide-angle with clean sharpness right into the corners

The large aperture of f/1.8 ensures excellent light output and enables fast shutter speeds even in difficult lighting conditions. Whether twilight, interiors or star-filled skies – the lens delivers bright, clear images with clean sharpness right into the corners and also allows for creative subject isolation in the wide-angle range.

Optical design 15/12: 15 lenses in 12 groups with ED and aspherical elements

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

Quiet STM autofocus – precise for photo and video

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

Optimized handling – perfect for gimbal and rig

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