The Viltrox AF 35mm F/1.8 Z is a prime wide-angle lens with a focal length of 35mm. It can fit many elements within the frame with minimal distortion. It is typically used indoors where there is limited distance from the subject.

It is intended for use with full-frame sensor cameras. It can also be used with crop frame sensor cameras, but with its focal length adjusted according to the corresponding crop factor (e.g., 35mm x 1.6).

The lens features an autofocus function for easy and quick focusing, particularly useful for photographing subjects in motion (e.g., children playing).
