OVERVIEW
Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.4 Overview
Pro Flagship Series
Engineered for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras, the Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.4 Pro Z pairs a classic portrait focal length with an exceptionally bright aperture. Driven by dual Hyper VCM linear motors, this fast prime delivers swift, dependable autofocus down to a 2.6' close-focus distance. High-grade optical glass throughout the element construction guarantees outstanding frame-wide sharpness, while a weather-sealed metal body protects against dust and moisture in challenging environments.
Advanced Optical Construction
The optical layout incorporates 1 ultra-precision aspherical (UA) element, 3 extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, and 9 high refractive index (HR) elements to effectively suppress optical aberrations.
15 elements arranged in 11 groups work in tandem to yield edge-to-edge clarity and sharpness.
An HD multilayer nano coating minimizes internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for maximum image contrast.
Professional Control & Handling
Dual Hyper VCM motors provide rapid, whisper-quiet autofocusing with full support for precision eye and face tracking.
An assignable Fn button on the barrel provides immediate access to key camera controls.
A dedicated click switch allows effortless toggling between clicked aperture stops for photography and smooth, de-clicked rotation for video capture.
An integrated AF/MF switch enables instant shifting between automatic and manual focus modes.
Built for the Elements
Weather-sealed construction guards against dust and moisture ingress during outdoor shoots.
The front element features a protective water- and stain-repellent coating to prevent smudges and liquid buildup.
All-metal barrel construction offers long-term durability in a solid 1.8 lb design.
Additional Features
Standard 77mm front thread for broad compatibility with polarizers, ND filters, and light-shaping accessories.
2.6-foot minimum focus distance for comfortable close-range portraiture.
Integrated USB-C port for fast and easy firmware upgrades.
