Viltrox AF 25mm f/1.7 Air Z Lens for Nikon Z Mount

The Viltrox AF 25mm f/1.7 Air Z Lens for Nikon Z mount mirrorless cameras is a lightweight and portable prime lens that offers a full-frame equivalent focal length of 37.5mm, making it ideal for capturing everyday scenes, from street photography to nature and still life. It features a fast and quiet leadscrew-type STM motor for responsive autofocus, and the bright f/1.7 maximum aperture, combined with a 9-blade diaphragm, enables smooth background separation and attractive bokeh, especially in low-light environments. The optical construction consists of twelve elements in ten groups, including one extra-low dispersion, two high-refractive, and two aspherical elements to minimize distortion, reduce flare and ghosting, and enhance contrast. The lens supports both eye and face detection with compatible cameras, ensuring precise focus, and its reduced focus breathing helps provide smooth transitions during video recording. Its internal focusing design keeps the lens compact and quiet, with a minimum focusing distance of 11.8 inches for closer compositions. Despite its powerful capabilities, the lens remains extremely lightweight at under 7 ounces. Additional features include support for Exif data transmission, electronic aperture control, and USB-C firmware updates. The lens also comes equipped with a lotus-shaped hood to reduce lens flare and protect against accidental bumps.
