The Viltrox 16mm f/1.8 for Nikon Z mount indicated by this cluster is a bright wide-angle prime designed for wide landscapes, astrophotography, environmental portraits and creative wide-field work on full-frame Z systems. The f/1.8 maximum aperture enables better low-light performance and more flexible depth-of-field control than slower wide-angle designs, while AF indicates an autofocus-capable implementation suitable for general shooting. Because the cluster tokens include FF, this entry targets full-frame usage; users should verify mount compatibility and any optical-vs-size trade-offs on the product pages. Bright 16mm primes are frequently chosen by landscape and night-sky photographers for their combination of field of view and light-gathering ability, but considerations such as coma control, corner sharpness and flare resistance are important in practice — consult the linked review for measured performance and sample images.
