Today, I’m reviewing the Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 – a fast, wide-angle prime lens available with autofocus for Nikon Z and Sony E mounts. Although Viltrox is a budget Chinese manufacturer, they’ve positioned the AF 16mm f/1.8 as higher-end than most of their lenses. Here’s what you need to know!

It’s hard to imagine a more majestic “office” than that of a South American llama herder. Gazing into the vast, awe-inspiring distance through the crystal clear mountain air. Even if the llamas wander off, the view of the surrounding volcanoes is a reward in itself. I’ll be back on the Andean ridges myself very soon, keeping an eye out for the giant wings of condors, and I trust they won’t disappoint me. And if they do? Nothing to worry about! As always, I’ll be on the road, testing some interesting gear and gathering experiences to share with you soon. Wishing you good light as you read this edition of our Photography News.

Today’s mirrorless cameras typically come with two displays: a viewfinder and a rear monitor. Both displays can be useful for still photography, but the rear monitor is almost always preferred for video recording. And really, if you’re serious about making video, you would typically invest in a dedicated recording monitor, either on-camera or otherwise.

Click Community Blog: Helping you take better pictures one day at a time
The main motivation for my photography has been to describe and share my experiences. I believe this sentiment is common among photographers. Yet sometimes, it leads to obsession over capturing the one “great image” of a scene – when the best way to tell a story can be through a series of images instead.
