AF 135mm F1.8 LAB overview

The Viltrox AF 135mm F1.8 LAB is a 135mm f/1.8 prime for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount and Nikon Z, announced by Viltrox in October 2024. 55 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits and low light. It is a weaker pick for travelling light.

New, it sells for $899 in the United States (Glazer's Camera). Over the last 90 days it has usually cost $890 to $899 new. It launched at $899.

Worth comparing it with the Nikon NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena, Sony FE 135mm F1.8 GM and Sigma 135mm F1.4 DG | Art.
