The Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 for Sony E-mount is an ultra-wide prime lens designed for full-frame cameras, offering a broad field of view for landscapes, architecture, astrophotography and creative video. Its fast f/1.8 aperture supports low-light shooting while allowing controlled depth of field, even at wide angles.
An advanced optical design with ED and aspherical elements helps maintain clarity across the frame and reduce aberrations, while practical features such as an LCD display, stepless aperture control and custom function buttons make it well suited to hybrid shooting.
