This affordable but impressive portrait lens is now available for Nikon Z photographers

The Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB Z mounted on a Nikon mirrorless camera.

Viltrox’s 135mm portrait lens that delivers a large aperture without breaching the four-figure price point is now available for Nikon photographers. On March 19, Viltrox announced availability for the Z-Mount version of the Viltrox AF 135mm LAB Z lens.

The Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB launched for Sony photographers last year, but expanding to the Z-Mount gives photographers a budget alternative to the pricey Nikon Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena. Digital Camera World’s Matthew Richards gave the E-Mount variant of the lens 4.5 out of five stars. In lab tests, the Viltrox variant even beat out the pricey Plena.
