Viltrox AF 23mm F1.4 Z - £236/$299

1 The customisable focus ring is in keeping with the design’s hands-on approach.

2 Even at a focal length of 23mm this lens still delivers a tight depth of field.

3 The de-clicked aperture ring has no locking switch, so try to avoid nudging it.

Available in black or silver, the Viltrox AF 23mm F1.4 Z looks at home on the Nikon Z fc, not least because it has an aperture ring that complements the camera’s hands-on approach to control dials and buttons. It’s one of a trio of f/1.4 lenses, the 23mm, 33mm and 56mm giving effective focal lengths of about 35mm, 50mm and 85mm respectively, in full-frame terms. These are classic focal lengths for street photography, landscape and architectural shooting, portraiture, and more. We took the 23mm lens for a spin.
