FAQs:
What filters are compatible with the Viltrox AF 135mm f1.8 lens?
This lens supports standard 82mm screw-in filters, making it compatible with a wide range of ND, polarising, and diffusion filters. The front element is also coated to resist water and smudging, making it easier to maintain clarity when using filters outdoors.
How heavy is the Viltrox 135mm f1.8 lens?
This relatively sizeable prime lens weighs 1265g and measures 93 x 147.6 mm. While handheld use is certainly possible, its weight is better balanced on full-frame bodies, and it is ideally suited to a tripod or monopod support for longer sessions.
Can I use the Viltrox 135mm f1.8 lens on APS-C Nikon Z cameras?
While optimised for full-frame (FX) sensors, the lens is compatible with APS-C (DX) Nikon Z models. When mounted on a DX-format camera like the Nikon Z50, it provides an effective focal length of approximately 202.5mm due to the 1.5x crop factor.
What is the lens’s maximum magnification ratio?
The lens offers a 0.25x magnification ratio at a minimum focusing distance of 0.72m. This feature enables close-up shots with strong background separation, which is ideal for detailed portraits and creative framing without switching to a macro lens.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
