Viltrox AF 16/1.8 L 16mm
Its 16mm f/1.8 design combines a complex 15-element, 12-group optical path with 4 ED and 3 aspherical elements, delivering sharp, low-aberration imaging in dim conditions. The lens differentiates itself with an integrated electronic parameter display and a dedicated aperture ring for direct, tactile control. It's ideal for L-mount photographers and videographers focusing on environmental portraits, astro-landscapes, or close-up detail work where silent STM autofocus and a bright wide-angle perspective are essential.
