Lenses sure can be expensive for mirrorless cameras. When I first bought a Nikon Z camera, I picked up the versatile 24-70mm F2.8 S to go with it, and that fabulous lens tied me over for a few years until I could afford a second one.
Recently, I have been able to pick up a few more optics because I have found an affordable alternative that doesn’t compromise on quality, and that’s Viltrox.
I have a few Viltrox prime lenses now, and couldn’t be more impressed. Take the new 35mm F1.2 Lab – it’s a pro-quality prime ideal for reportage photography and, despite being Viltrox’s priciest lens for mirrorless cameras, it costs just one-third the price of Nikon’s. It’s the same story across the range.

I have worked as a tech journalist, photographer and videographer for over 15 years, and three years ago I took the reins as TechRadar’s Cameras Editor. I’ve reviewed all the major camera gear during this time, and personally have six Viltrox lenses in my collection (and have used many more), in addition to proprietary glass. My workhorse camera is a Nikon Z8.
