Introduction of VILTROX 13mm

VILTROX 13mmF1.4 is a large-aperture ultra-wide-angle autofocus prime lens, suitable for Vlog, Landscape, Architecture, Street and Food photography as well as Astrophotography.

Why this lens was born？

Generally speaking, shooting Vlogs requires a lightweight and quiet focus lens, landscape photography and architecture photography requires a wide-angle lens, starry sky photography requires a large-aperture lens, street photography and food photography requires close-up ability.

Is there a lens with a very versatile focal length that can be used in a wide range of applications from vlog to landscape to street photography, which greatly reduces the user's luggage burden?

Therefore, by the end of 2021, Viltrox has developed and produced a lens that can meet so many shooting needs at the same time - AF 13mm F1.4 XF mount, which makes up for the blank of the original lens group.Consistent high quality, lightweight size and cost-effectiveness make this lens affirmed and supported by many Fujifilm users.

 Many Sony and Nikon owners have expressed their desire to get this 13mm lens, so we decided to develop and produce the AF 13mm F1.4 lens for E-mount and Z-mount.

•  As an APS-C format prime lens, it can also be well adapted to Sony full-frame cameras, such as A7R3, A7M4, etc. In S35 mode, this lens paired with the A7M4 has a great experience for shooting 4K60p video, with fast autofocus and light weight on the stabilizer. Friends who need to shoot sports videos and first-person vlogs are worth a try.

Starry sky photography is often carried out in an environment with weak light at night. The 13mm wide-angle design greatly improves the amount of light and shutter speed, and can obtain excellent imaging results in low light conditions. In addition, we also use F1.4 large aperture to accommodate more scene information.
