Viltrox AF AF 35/1.7 Z
The f/1.7 aperture on this 35mm APS-C lens (53mm equivalent) pairs an 11-element optical stack with one ED and one aspherical element, controlling chromatic aberration while weighing just 180g. Its silent STM autofocus supports face and eye detection, and the high-definition nano-coating effectively suppresses flare and ghosting. This lens is best for portrait photographers and hybrid video shooters on Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, or Sony E mount who need a compact, fast prime for subject isolation and smooth bokeh.
