Viltrox AF 16mm F1.8 L

Viltrox announces the release of the AF 16mm F1.8 L, the company’s first autofocus lens for L-Mount systems. The AF 16mm F1.8 L captures expansive scenes with its ultra-wide 16mm (105.6°) field of view, while its precision optical design precisely preserves fine details, the company said. There are 15 lens elements in 12 groups, including 3 aspherical and 4 ED (extra-low dispersion) elements. This optical design controls distortion, chromatic aberration, and coma, ensuring consistent sharpness from frame center to edge. The lens will have an MSRP of $580 / €599 / £530
