Exceptional f/1.2 Aperture

The f/1.2 maximum aperture delivers excellent light-gathering ability for dim interiors, nighttime streets, weddings, events, and astrophotography.

It also provides unusually shallow depth of field for a 35mm lens, allowing photographers to isolate subjects while retaining the environmental context that makes this focal length so useful for visual storytelling.

Flagship LAB-Series Optics

The advanced 15-element, 10-group optical construction includes:

• Five extra-low-dispersion elements

• Three high-refractive-index elements

• Two ultra-precision aspherical elements

• Advanced multilayer Nano coatings

This sophisticated design delivers high resolution, strong contrast, controlled chromatic aberration, and refined background rendering—even when shooting wide open.

Quad HyperVCM Autofocus

Four Viltrox HyperVCM motors provide fast, precise, and quiet autofocus. Compatible Nikon Z cameras can utilize face- and eye-detection focusing for portraits, events, moving subjects, and video.

A dual floating internal focusing system maintains excellent optical performance throughout the focusing range.

Beautiful Background Rendering

The combination of an f/1.2 aperture and 11-blade diaphragm produces smooth highlights and gradual transitions between sharp and defocused areas.

This makes the lens especially effective for environmental portraits, wedding details, fashion, food, and lifestyle photography.

How It Compares

Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 LAB vs. NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4

The Viltrox offers a brighter aperture, more extensive lens controls, and stronger subject separation. The Nikon is considerably smaller and lighter, making it more convenient for extended handheld and travel use.

Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 LAB vs. NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S

The Nikon f/1.8 S emphasizes portability and S-Line optical performance. The Viltrox delivers greater low-light capability, shallower depth of field, and more professional physical controls.

35mm vs. 50mm

A 35mm lens includes more of the surroundings and is ideal for documentary work, events, and environmental portraits. A 50mm provides a tighter, more traditional perspective with less background in the composition.
