The source supplemented this information with information about the date of the announcement and the price.
Announcement date and price of Viltrox 85mm f / 1.8 Z lens announced
The Viltrox 85mm f / 1.8 Z lens with Nikon Z mount is said to be unveiled on December 10 and will immediately be available for pre-order from the manufacturer’s online store. It will cost around $ 350. For comparison, the native Nikkor Z 85mm f / 1.8 S lens costs almost $ 800.
According to the source, the new Viltrox lens will be built using the same optical design as the Viltrox PFU RBMH 85mm f / 1.8 STM model equipped with a Sony E mount. Recall that its optical design has ten elements in eight groups, including an ultra-low dispersion element and four glass elements with increased light transmission. The risk of glare and other artifacts is reduced with the HD Nano multi-layer coating.
