Viltrox Z 25mm f/1.7

The Viltrox AF 25mm f/1.7 Z is a compact and lightweight prime lens designed for Nikon Z-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. Offering a versatile 37.5mm equivalent focal length, this lens is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, including street photography, portraiture, and everyday snapshots. The bright f/1.7 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions, allowing for handheld shooting without a flash, and provides beautiful subject-background separation with a pleasing bokeh effect. The lens features a stepping motor (STM) for smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance, which is a great asset for both still photography and video recording. The optical construction is designed to deliver sharp and clear images, with coatings to reduce flare and ghosting. Its small size and unobtrusive design make it an ideal walk-around lens, encouraging photographers to carry their camera more often and capture spontaneous moments. For Nikon Z APS-C users looking for an affordable, high-quality prime lens that offers a natural perspective and great low-light capabilities, the Viltrox AF 25mm f/1.7 Z is a compelling option that punches well above its weight.
