Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Air review: wide-angle prime time for Fujifilm, Nikon and Sony crop-sensor cameras

Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 Air product shot.

I confess to having a secret stash of Viltrox lenses for my Nikon Z fc camera, which I bought a couple of years ago. It comprises the 13mm f/1.4, 23mm f/1.4, 33mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.4 set of APS-C format primes, which boast metal barrels and feature aperture control rings, fitting right in with the retro ethos of the camera body. The lenses are available in Fujifilm X, Nikon Z and Sony Alpha mount options for a variety of mirrorless cameras.

The more recent Viltrox Air series of lenses aims for an even more featherweight build, with the emphasis on convenience, simplicity and value for money. So far, I’ve already been impressed with the APS-C format AF 25mm f/1.7 Air, AF 35mm F1.7 Air and AF 56mm F1.7 Air, and the full-frame compatible AF 20mm F2.8 Air and AF 40mm F2.5 Air.
