Review Summary

Great little lens, with really solid build quality. Returned it only because it didn't match the quality of my 85mm 1.4G which was expected, but in the end not worth switching just for the Z mount.

The lens came with the hood frozen in the inverse position making the lens totally unusable. After a little research I learned Viltrox has a history of problems with lens hoods. This is a design issue and a gross lack of attention to fundamental detail.

This lens on my Z6 is super sharp. Autofocus is fast and quick to find the face and eye(s). Love the colors in the raw file; warm, similar to Nikon. Definitely a good option for an inexpensive Z mount.

Make your photography stand out with the Viltrox 85mm F1.8 Z-mount Lens, a high-quality, full-frame autofocus lens specifically designed for Nikon Z-mount Mirrorless cameras. This lens is compatible with a range of Nikon models, including the Nikon Z5, Z50, Z6, Z6II, Z7, and Z7II. Its lightweight design, fast speed, and wide aperture make it an ideal choice for event photography, capturing stunning portraits, intricate close-ups, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant street photography.
The lens boasts a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, perfect for working in low-light conditions and providing greater control over depth of field. The innovative STM stepping motor ensures quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance, along with full-time manual focus override for maximum control. The internal focusing design maintains the overall lens length during use, resulting in improved handling and quicker response.
The Viltrox 85mm F1.8 Z-mount Lens features an HD Nano multi-layer coating applied to individual elements, effectively suppressing flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity, even in strong lighting conditions. The nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality, enhancing the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas of your images.
The lens's refined optical design includes 10 elements in 7 groups, including 1 ED lens and 4 short wavelength and high transparency lenses. This design dramatically reduces chromatic aberration and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings, resulting in corner-to-corner sharpness.
The lens supports Auto Focus & Eye Focus, ensuring steady, quick, and smooth autofocus, ideal for capturing high-speed moving objects. The 85mm focal length can be easily switched between a half-length portrait and a full-length portrait, making it a versatile choice for both full-frame bodies or APS-C cameras.
The lens is equipped with precise metal electronic contacts, supporting EXIF information transmission and electronic automatic iris adjustment. The lens bottom features a micro USB upgraded port, allowing you to download the newest firmware from the VILTROX website to enhance lens performance.
Constructed with a durable, all-metal body, the Viltrox 85mm F1.8 Z-mount Lens ensures lens assembly accuracy and longevity. Weighing only 540g, it's lighter than the original version and comes with a Lotus Lens Hood designed to reduce flare or scattering light of ghosts and protect the lens from rain, snow, or debris sticking to the front of the lens. This lens is a reliable, professional, and innovative addition to your Nikon Z series camera.
