Image: Viltrox Viltrox has announced that its Pro series portrait lens is now available for Nikon Z mount. The AF 85mm F1. 4 Pro, which was initially released for full-frame Sony E mount earlier this year, offers a classic portrait focal length, a fast aperture, and pro-level features at a budget-friendly price.
The Z mount version of the Viltrox 85mm F1. 4 Pro uses the same design as the Sony E mount model. The optical formula consists of 15 elements in 11 groups, with 3 ED, 9 HR and 1 UA elements to improve sharpness and manage aberrations. Viltrox promises pro-grade image quality from the lens, with excellent sharpness and accurate colors even in tricky lighting conditions. The lens features an 11-blade diaphragm, which Viltrox says results in "creamy bokeh. "

Viltrox built the 85mm F1. 4 Pro with its Dual HyperVCM autofocus system. It promises fast, silent and precise autofocus that's compatible with face and eye detection and subject tracking. The lens can focus as close as 0. 79m (2. 6').
Despite its budget-friendly price, the Viltrox lens offers numerous higher-end features. That includes metal construction with a dust and splash-resistant design to protect the lens from inclement conditions. It also features a customizable Fn button, an AF/MF switch, an aperture ring and a switch to click and declick the aperture.
Like the E mount version, it uses a 77mm filter thread and features a USB-C port for firmware updates. The Z mount model is slightly heavier than the E mount counterpart, coming in at 835 grams (29. 5 ounces).
The Viltrox AF 85mm F1. 4 Pro for Nikon Z is available for purchase for $598.
