Review on 📷 VILTROX New 85mm F1.8 STM Autofocus Lens for Nikon Z-Mount: Improved AF, Image Quality, and Lightweight Design by William Mistretta

I got this lens for my Z7ii in early February and I LOVE it. He had a few very small items, but for a $400 85mm 1.8-inch prime? It was worth it. But the honeymoon ended in mid-March. Something went wrong with the lens. It completely stopped working, and when I say completely, I mean 100% non-functional. The camera couldn't detect it (my 24-70 f4 works fine), neither could a couple of computers and USB cables. And since Revain's return policy was over 30 days old, my only option was to contact Viltrox. They were very responsive but in the end they said my only option was "renovate". (Good luck finding someone who can) I do have a $400 paperweight after all, so if I really want to go back to shooting at 85mm I have two options: buy another Viltrox (and for the price would get 2 I get Nikkor), or just poke around in bad weather sealed, warranty Nikkor 85. I just wanted to share my experience with everyone
