![]() On a cropped sensor the angle of view is equivalent to a 36mm lens which is often used for street photography. 24mm is a popular focal length for architecture, large interiors and landscape photography without being prone to some of the distortions that a 20mm lens can produce. ![]() The AF 24mm f1.8 from the Chinese manufacturer Viltrox is a wide-angle prime lens designed for mirrorless cameras and corrected for full-frame sensors.

Check prices on the Viltrox AF 24mm f1.8 at B&H or Adorama. But all-in-all the lens has a good price/performance-ratio and I can recommend the Viltrox AF 24mm f1.8 if you're looking for a lower-cost wide-angle lens. The lens also lacks any form of weather sealing and has strong distortions which are not easily corrected. Bokeh is nice (for a 24mm f1.8 lens) on less contrasty backgrounds but it can produce ugly double contours in the distance and onion rings on specular highlights. ![]() The lens offers a dedicated aperture ring, has minimal focus breathing, fares relatively well in contra-light situations, and has a fast and consistent AF - after some AF fine-tuning. But its relatively soft rendering between 8mm and 16mm image height requires stopping down to f5.6 to produce sharp landscapes or architecture shots. It is sharp in the center and offers quite some detail in the FF/FX-corner. Summary The Viltrox AF 24mm f1.8 is a decent large aperture wide-angle lens with autofocus for Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount. ![]()
