Viltrox 16mm F1.8 Nikon Z Astrophotography Test Sample Photos

[@adrianalfordphotography]

I should have mentioned that all the Nikon Z7 in camera lens corrections were turned on for the test sample shots. I can’t wait to get out more with this lens in the field, waterfalls, landscape, seascape, astro, time lapse - bring it 😋 🤙🙏

Pretty amazing results for a budget lens. Stars were sharp right up into those corners. Thx for the review.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@PhilThach]

Great follow up, Adrian! That lens looks amazing and you did a nice job demonstrating that.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks a ton Phil, cheers 🙏

Looks like a great lens for astro. Thanks for this test.

Another great review Adrian for Astrophotography and got some great photos for the lens and price. Many thanks for sharing the info and have a great weekend.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Many thanks Shaun. Have an awesome weekend mate 🙏

Being from nz but living in the uk, it was nice to see the southern cross again! Great review

[@zygmuntziokowski7877]

Nice review and I would need add to my wish list. I am very happy with the Viltrox 20mm and 85mm.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thank you for watching and commenting, cheers 🙏

VILTROX 16mm 1.8 is such a great lens, it seems. Your video presentations made me subscribe last week, and I am happy that I did. I pre ordered the Laowa 10mm 0 distortion f2.8 lens, and now this lens shows up. I had the VILTROX 13mm 1.4 lens on my XH2, and it was always on the camera. In tight spaces like the New York City subway station platform taking a photo of out of town family members against the wall that said 5th Avenue was impossible. I needed a wider angle lens to get a shot or step back and fall onto the rail tracks, lol. The Laowa 10mm would achieve this aledgedly without distortion wide open.

Thank you for watching. Cheers 🙏

Hi Adrian, that's a great feature for focusing. Fantastic for astrophotography 🙂 Thank you for the video, buddy! Nice greetings, Christian

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thank you Christian for watching. I was happy with the results from this lens. Looking forward to getting out more with it. Have a great weekend buddy 👍🙏

Looks great for astro Adrian, I won't be buying a Sony mount at the minute!! I may be coming over to the dark side!! Great review mate!👌👌👍👍

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Cheers Scott. You’ll love the dark side, it’s quite cosy 😂 Enjoy the rest of your week mate 👍🙏

[@davidrushworth658]

Thanks for your critique Adrian.............I'm looking forward to seeing some core shots with this lens. Currently I'm using the Nikkor 20mm f1.8 on a Z8, but there are a number of occasions when you need that extra width. Many thanks again.........Ps, it's always good to see the Southern Cross 😁

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks David. I see your point re not having enough width in the frame. And I guess you can always crop in a little if you couldn't be bothered changing lenses. Next new moon here is early June so fingers crossed for some clear skies and I'll be heading out with this Viltrox. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@denisesavage2382]

Awesome Adrian - I hope you got to have a play with the recent aurora activity that could be seen further north than where you are. It would be brilliant for that by the looks. Enjoy it.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks Denise. No chance of aurora here. Maybe further southern states. As much chance of aurora here as snow falling.

[@denisesavage2382]

@@adrianalfordphotography normally yes - I heard some as far north as Townsville were spotting it!! It was a big one. Saw some who'd captured it out on the Downs. It was nuts.

[@slimbirdy]

Thanks for the follow on video, the corners look great on those astro shots. You sure know you're in the southern hemisphere when you see the Southern Cross!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thank you for watching 🙏

[@szeinner]

Thanks for the review!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thank you for watching 🙏

[@Twobarpsi]

Very nice photos! I have taken my best astro shots at 18mm and 1.8f.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Great 👍

[@ecobooster8298]

Awesome!.. can you a comparison between this viltrox 16mm and the nikon 20mm f1.8 S? Really curious to see how the images compare.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it 🙏

[@tonytfuntek3262]

Crux ...the Southern Cross ? Definitely on my list of lens to purchase. Thank you

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks Tony. Southern Cross ✅

[@stoufenatz3728]

Thanks Adrian !

[@adrianalfordphotography]

My pleasure!

[@andikadimas6225]

Going to get one for my z5

[@mrgeobriscoe1955]

It's the Southern Cross not visible here in North Georgia USA

[@abfutrell]

Did you catch the auroras?

[@adrianalfordphotography]

No. Too far north in my country to see it. People in southern states saw it though.

[@gaudiofloripa]

Answering your question, it´s the southern cross.
