Description

Viltrox AF 55mm f/1.8 Z EVO: Your Portrait Expert for Nikon Z-Mount

The Viltrox AF 55mm f/1.8 Z EVO is the ideal addition to any Nikon Z camera. With its classic normal focal length and impressive speed, it delivers natural shots and a dreamlike bokeh – the perfect companion for portraits and daily use.

55 mm Focal Length: Natural Perspective

The 55 mm focal length reproduces subjects extremely naturally and without distortion. This makes this lens a versatile all-rounder for expressive portraits and use in everyday situations where an authentic angle of view is essential.

f/1.8 Aperture: Soft Bokeh & Low-Light Performance

Let your subject shine: The high f/1.8 speed ensures beautiful subject separation through a soft bokeh. Additionally, you maintain full control even in low light, delivering brilliant, noise-free results.

APO Design for a Pure Image

The apochromatic (APO) design ensures exceptionally clear and precise image quality. Color fringing and axial chromatic aberrations are effectively minimized, so subjects are displayed with razor-sharp edges and high color fidelity. At the same time, an especially smooth, clean bokeh is created, highlighting your subject perfectly. Ideal for everyone who expects the highest optical performance and professional results.

Precise Optics: Sharpness through ED, HR & Aspherical Lenses

Rely on technical brilliance: The construction of ED, HR, and aspherical lenses minimizes chromatic aberrations and image errors. This allows you to achieve extraordinary sharpness and clarity that fully utilizes modern Nikon Z sensors.

HD Nano Multi-Coating: Brilliant Contrasts

Images with depth: The HD Nano coating reliably protects against internal reflections and stray light. This guarantees high-contrast, brilliant images with rich colors, even under difficult lighting conditions.

STM Autofocus: Fast, Precise & Virtually Silent

Never miss a moment: The modern STM autofocus works extremely fast and precisely on your Nikon Z camera. Since it is virtually silent, the lens is the first choice for discreet photo shoots and video projects.

0.43 m Minimum Focusing Distance: Focus on Details

Get closer to your subject: With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.43 meters, you have the freedom to capture even small details like eye areas or textures in portraits in a large and impressive way.

Metal Bayonet: High-Quality & Extra Durable

Secure hold for your camera: The robust metal bayonet ensures a play-free connection to your Nikon Z body. It is designed for longevity and easily survives the demanding daily routine of a professional photographer.
