Viltrox 13mm F1.4 f/1.4 E STM Auto Focus Ultra Wide Angle 13mm
With a 13mm focal length, f/1.4 maximum aperture, and built-in stabilization, this lens captures bright, stable ultra-wide shots in low light, while the stepless STM motor and manual aperture ring ensure smooth video focus pulls. The 22cm minimum focus distance enables creative, dramatic close-ups without weighing down gimbals at just 454g. It’s best for Nikon Z APS-C vloggers and street photographers who need a fast prime with reliable eye-tracking autofocus and flicker-free aperture control.
