Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 Nikon Z

Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 for Nikon Z

Designed for Nikon Z-mount cameras, the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 is a compact and lightweight prime lens that combines fast aperture performance with smooth autofocus. Its 56mm focal length makes it an excellent choice for portrait photography, but it also performs beautifully for landscapes, architecture, and everyday creative shooting.

With a bright f/1.7 aperture, this lens excels in low light and offers pleasing background separation for subject-focused images. The quiet STM autofocus motor delivers fast, accurate, and near-silent focusing, making it a strong option for both stills and video. Internal focusing helps maintain balance and keeps operation smooth while shooting.

Optical performance

The optical design uses 11 elements arranged in 9 groups, including ED elements and high refractive index glass to help improve sharpness and control image quality. Support for EXIF data transfer and compatible shooting modes adds convenience when working with supported Nikon Z cameras.
