Product Information

Full details

The Viltrox AF 28mm f/1.8 is a versatile, wide-angle prime lens designed for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras, making it an ideal choice for street, landscape, and portrait photographers who value portability and image quality. Featuring a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, it excels in low-light conditions and provides smooth background blur, though users should be aware that the wide 28mm focal length is fixed and does not offer zoom capabilities.

FAQs

Does this lens feature built-in stabilization?

No, this lens does not have its own optical image stabilization. It relies on the In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) found in many Nikon Z cameras.

Can I use this for portrait photography?

Yes, while 28mm is a wide-angle lens, it is excellent for environmental portraits where you want to include more of the surroundings.

How do I update the firmware?

You can update the firmware by connecting the lens to your computer via the built-in USB port and installing the latest file from the Viltrox official support page.

Is this lens weather-sealed?

The lens features a robust metal construction, but it is not officially rated for heavy moisture or dust protection. We recommend using it with caution in harsh weather.

What is the filter thread size?

The lens uses standard circular filters; please verify the diameter specified on the front of your specific lens barrel.

Troubleshooting

Autofocus seems slow or hunts in low light

Ensure your camera's firmware is up to date and clean the lens contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Lens is not recognized by the camera

Check that the lens is fully locked into the Z-mount and try cleaning the gold electronic contacts on the rear of the lens.

Image appears soft in the corners

Stop down the aperture slightly (e.g., to f/2.8 or f/4) to increase overall sharpness across the frame.
