→ A reader send me a quick feedback on the new Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 Z full-frame autofocus lens for Nikon Z-mount (buy at: Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon CA):

“Got my Viltrox 85/1.8 for Nikon Z cameras. I tested it on my Nikon Z6 II and it works fine. Tested it agains my Tamron 85/1.8 VC with the FTZ adapter. The Tamron hunts but is fast. The Viltrox doesn’t hunt but is some times slower. The Tamron had sometimes hard to nail the focus but the Viltrox nailed it every time. The area of sharpness seemed to be narrower with the Viltrox at 1.8. Will continue to do test and see if I will sell the Tamron.”
