Viltrox AF AF 40mm f/2.5 FE 40mm
Weighing just 180g with an f/2.5 aperture, this 40mm full-frame prime packs 10 elements—including one ED and one aspherical—for sharp, low-distortion rendering. Silent, precise autofocus and a close 340mm minimum focus distance add flexibility for discreet street scenes and detail shots. It’s best for Nikon Z shooters wanting a featherweight everyday prime for environmental portraits and spontaneous street photography.
