Viltrox AF AF 13mm f/1.4 13mm
An f/1.4 max aperture and 20mm equivalent view make this 455g lens a low-light standout, with an STM motor delivering silent, focus-breathing-free video AF down to 8.7 inches. Its optical design—two aspherical and four ED elements—yields sharp images and smooth bokeh at a budget price, though weather sealing is absent. It’s best for Z-mount APS-C videographers needing a fast ultra-wide for vlogging and run-and-gun shoots.
