Viltrox has been launching a growing range of ‘Air’ lenses for both APS-C format and full-frame cameras. APS-C contenders include the Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Air, Viltrox AF 25mm f/1.7 Air, Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.7 Air and Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 Air. Full-frame lenses include the Viltrox AF 20mm f/2.8 Air, Viltrox AF 40mm f/2.5 Air and Viltrox AF 50mm f/2 Air.
I like the common theme to the design, with most of the lenses being almost exactly the same size and weight. And while I’m at it, the size is astonishingly small and the weight is tiny. The newest pair in the line-up are ultra-wide-angle primes for APS-C and full-frame cameras, the full-frame AF 14mm f/4 having a slower aperture than its siblings but the upside is that, as I’ve mentioned, it maintains a very similar size and weight. If it can deliver on its promises, it’s destined to be one of the best wide-angle lenses, and a top option for Nikon Z and Sony E mount cameras.
