Imagine holding a powerful camera lens that’s about to change your portrait game. Viltrox, a well-known independent lens maker, just launched its latest creation: the Viltrox AF 135mm F1.8 LAB Z. This beast of a lens is now available for Nikon Z-mount cameras, and it’s a must-have for any serious photographer.
The LAB series from Viltrox is like the luxury line of lenses – high-end, professional-grade, and designed to deliver exceptional results. The 135mm F1.8 LAB, which was initially released for Sony E-mount cameras, received rave reviews for its sharpness and professional-grade sealing against water and dust.
So, what’s new in the Nikon Z version? The basics are the same as the Sony E version, but the Nikon Z variant weighs a bit more, coming in at 1,265 grams (compared to the Sony E’s 1,235 grams). One notable feature is the small display screen on the lens itself, which shows focus distance or other settings.
