Viltrox patented HyperVCM motor: Fast, precise, quiet autofocus
Viltrox's patented Quad HyperVCM motor technology significantly enhances thrust conversion efficiency, enabling faster, quieter and more stable autofocus in video and photo shooting. Compared to traditional STM autofocus motors, HyperVCM focuses 150% faster, and with micron-precision positioning - enabling 100ms switching between the closest and farthest focus points, for professional-grade performance. This lens is also equipped with a dual floating focus system, optimizes sharpness, and captures stunning close-ups at 0.72 meters with 0.25x magnification, for versatile close-up shooting.
Explore Beyond: Optical excellence, high-resolution images
Viltrox's AF 135mm F1.8 LAB Z lens redefines professional-grade optics with its revolutionary optical design. Even at maximum aperture, the Viltrox AF 135mm F1.8 LAB Z maintains exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness, ensuring consistent image quality across the frame. This guarantees remarkable detail retention for post-cropping flexibility, offering an unparalleled shooting experience and creative freedom.
Ultimate soft, dreamy bokeh
The superior optical design significantly reduces chromatic aberration in bokeh, eliminating onion ring bokeh, and creating a soft, delicate effect beyond the sharp and clear focal plane. The bokeh of this lens is beautiful and there is a smooth transition between in focus and out of focus. The eleven aperture blades ensure bokeh effects are smooth at the center, with minimal optical vignetting and without noticeable swirly bokeh. Even at wide-open F1.8 aperture, it produces creamy, professional-grade bokeh ideal for portraits, backed by efficient light transmission for crystal-clear low-light images. Even at maximum aperture, this lens creates exquisitely beautiful bokeh for portraiture and other photography. Efficient light transmission ensures clear, pure, and noise-free images, even in low-light shooting environments.
