Viltrox AF 40mm F2.5 FE the Low Budget Sony Lens
The Viltrox AF 40mm f/2.5 lens was first introduced earlier this year for the Nikon Z mount. Now, Viltrox has expanded its lineup with a new version specifically designed for the Sony E mount.
Similar Design and Features
This Sony E mount version of the Viltrox AF 40mm f/2.5 lens retains the same design and features as the Nikon Z model. You can expect similar optical performance, autofocus speed, and minimal noise when shooting video.
Advantages of the 40mm Focal Length
With a 40mm focal length, this lens offers a slightly wider view than the traditional 50mm, giving you more flexibility for cropping and recomposing your shots without sacrificing too much detail.
Priced affordably, the Viltrox AF 40mm f/2.5 is an excellent choice for photographers on a budget or those who don’t want to invest in a pricier 50mm f/1.4 lens. While it may not deliver the same performance as a high-end €1,300 lens, it offers great value for hobbyists and budget-conscious shooters.
