The Viltrox AF 15mm f/1.7 AIR is an ultra-lightweight, compact APS-C wide-angle prime lens, ideal for landscapes, cityscapes, interiors, and vlogging. It features a fast f/1.7 aperture, 12 elements in 10 groups, and a 58mm filter thread. The lens offers impressive image quality, fast autofocus, and a short minimum focus distance for creative close-ups. While not weather-sealed and lacking an aperture ring or AF/MF switch, it excels in portability and value. Bokeh is smooth for close-ups, and sharpness is impressive across the frame in real-world use. Minimal color fringing and slight pincushion distortion are easily corrected in-camera.
