With a streamlined and adaptable form factor, the Viltrox AF 23mm f/1.4 E serves as a wide-angle prime lens intended for APS-C format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its expansive wide-angle focal length, complemented by a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, is well-suited for shooting in diverse lighting scenarios and facilitates precise manipulation of depth of field for subject isolation through selective focusing. The lens’s optics feature a set of extra-low dispersion elements and high refractive index elements that work in tandem to minimize optical aberrations, resulting in enhanced sharpness, clarity, and accurate color rendition. Additionally, an HD Nano multi-layer coating is utilized to curtail flare and ghosting, ensuring enhanced contrast in luminous and backlit settings.FeaturesWide-Angle Prime Lens: Designed for APS-C Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, offering a 23mm focal length equivalent to 35mm on full-frame sensors, ideal for landscapes, street photography, and everyday shooting.Bright f/1.4 Aperture: Enables excellent performance in low-light conditions and allows for creative control over depth of field with smooth background blur.Advanced Optical Design: Consists of 11 elements in 10 groups, including two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) elements and two high refractive index elements to minimize chromatic aberration and distortion, delivering sharp and accurate images.HD Nano Multi-Layer Coating: Reduces flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast and color fidelity in bright and backlit scenarios.Quiet and Fast STM Autofocus Motor: Provides smooth, precise, and near-silent autofocus, combined with full-time manual focus override for versatile control.Internal Focusing Mechanism: Maintains overall lens length during focusing for better handling and faster response.Integrated Manual Aperture Ring: Allows for tactile aperture control with an ‘A’ setting for automatic adjustment via the camera.9-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Produces pleasing bokeh and natural out-of-focus highlights.Micro-USB Firmware Port: Facilitates easy firmware updates to maintain optimal lens performance and compatibility.Compact and Lightweight: Measures approximately 65mm in diameter, 72mm in length, and weighs about 260 grams, making it highly portable and easy to handle.SpecificationMount TypeE-mountFocus ModeAF/MFViewing Angle63.4°Lens Elements11/10ApertureF1.4-16Aperture Blades9Focus Range0.3m-∞Focus MechanismInternal FocusFocus MotorSTM Lead screwMax.Magnification0.1Filter SizeΦ52Outer Diameter SizeΦ65×72mmWeight260gPackage Includes1 x Viltrox AF 23mm f/1.4 E Lens1 x Front Lens Cap1 x Rear Cap1 x Lens Hood1 x Lens Pouch
