When we talk about a “kit lens” these days, we usually mean a zoom covering focal lengths from wide-angle to short telephoto. But back when my beard was still chestnut-colored (or didn’t exist at all), cameras were commonly sold with a fixed 50mm lens. If you want a 50mm lens today, it may not come as a kit, but you have no shortage of options. For Nikon Z-mount alone, you can currently choose from no fewer than thirty-two different 50mm primes! In this review, I’d like to take a closer look at a recent addition to this rapidly growing family—the Viltrox AF 50mm f/1.4 Pro.
