Viltrox AF 14mm 4.0 Air Full-Frame für Nikon Z

Viltrox keeps on pushing the boundaries of what's possible with affordable lenses, and it shows again with the Viltrox AF 14mm f/4 FE Air. Such ultra-wide lenses used to be really expensive, but who could possibly complain about the pricing of this lens - even if it wasn't as good as it is. It's sharp at f/4, and diffraction is the limiting factor at smaller apertures already. Lateral CAs remain moderate. Just like all ultra-wide lenses, vignetting is an issue in RAW files, but the profile correction tames this issue quite a bit although it never goes fully away. Image distortion is moderate in RAW files. Auto-correction doesn't do much here. If you like your sun stars during night scenes, the lens can give you quite nice ones when stopping down. Mechanically, the Viltrox AF 14mm f/4 FE stays in the tradition of the other Viltrox "Air" lenses. It is compact and very lightweight and uses good quality, consumer-grade plastics for the lens body. Weather sealing is not provided. The AF is pretty snappy, so no complaints here either. If you don't require high speed and can live with a few compromises, the Viltrox AF 14mm f/4 FE Air is almost a no-brainer - especially at this price point.
