Viltrox AF 25mm F1.7 Air, an ultra-lightweight lens for APS-C cameras, has been unveiled
By ForGeeks Viltrox has introduced the AF 25mm F1.7 Air, a compact and lightweight zoom lens for APS-C cameras. It is available in Sony E, Fujifilm X and Nikon Z mounts, offering a great combination of portability, performance and affordability
Ease without compromise
The Viltrox AF 25mm F1.7 Air weighs just 170g, making it barely heavier than a smartphone. The compact no aperture ring design allows you to control settings directly through the camera. At the same time, the lens has a metal mount for durability when changing optics frequently.
Great image quality
The equivalent focal length is 38mm (in terms of full frame), making the lens universal – between standard and wide-angle field of view. Aperture F1.7 ensures excellent low-light performance and a beautiful sideways effect thanks to the 9-blade aperture
The optical scheme includes 12 elements in 10 groups, including low dispersion and high refractive index elements. This reduces chromatic aberrations and makes the image sharper and more contrasty
Fast and silent autofocus
The lens is equipped with step motor (STM), providing smooth and quiet autofocus. It supports eye and face autofocus, making it a great choice for street photography, portraits, and video blogging
Ideal for video
For video shooting, the Viltrox AF 25mm F1.7 Air offers minimal focus breathing, preventing frame changes when refocusing. Compatibility with In-Camera Stabilization helps you shoot smooth movies without unnecessary shake, and quiet autofocus doesn’t spoil sound recording.
Price and affordability
Viltrox AF 25mm F1.7 Air is on sale now, priced at $176 / €189 / £165
