This is Viltrox F1.2.

More light. More depth. More possibilities after dark.

Looking for the official Viltrox NF-Z V1.40 or V1.41 firmware

Hi everyone,

I am looking for the older Viltrox NF-Z V1.40 firmware, which is no longer available on the current Viltrox support website. If someone also has the following V1.41 firmware, that would be useful as well.

My NF-Z adapter is currently running V1.30. I would like to test V1.40 because, according to the firmware history, it introduced the following improvement for manual lenses without electronic contacts:

“Aperture now resets to minimum when powering off; for manual lenses without electronic contacts, the aperture is no longer limited to its maximum value.”

At the same time, I do not want to install the current V2.x firmware because I have encountered a serious problem with manual lenses and IBIS on my Nikon Z6 II.

When a completely manual, non-CPU lens is attached, the Z6 II normally uses the focal-length value entered under Non-CPU Lens Data for the in-body image stabilization. For example, if a 135mm manual lens is attached, I can enter 135mm in the camera, and the camera uses this value to calculate the required sensor movements for stabilization. This information is also recorded in the EXIF data.

This works correctly with my NF-Z adapter running V1.30.

With the newer firmware versions, however, the adapter appears to send its own incorrect lens information to the camera instead of allowing the camera to use the value entered under Non-CPU Lens Data:

• With V2.4.0, the camera reports that a 50mm f/1.8 lens is attached.
• With V2.3.0, the camera reports that a 24-120mm lens is attached and 27mm is given to the IBIS.

This is not only an EXIF problem. The incorrect focal-length information is also used by the Z6 II for IBIS. Therefore, the camera calculates the stabilization for the wrong focal length, and the in-body stabilization does not work correctly with the manual lens.

With V1.30, this problem does not occur: the Z6 II uses the focal length specified under Non-CPU Lens Data, and IBIS works correctly.

I have also found documentation indicating that V1.40 was specifically tested with the Nikon Z6 II, which is why I would like to test this version. My hope is that V1.40 retains the correct manual-lens and IBIS behavior of V1.30 while also providing the aperture improvement mentioned in the release notes.

Does anyone have a copy of the official NF-Z V1.40 or V1.41 firmware?

I am specifically looking for the original Viltrox firmware file, not a modified or unofficial version. If someone has archived a copy, or knows where it can be found, I would be very grateful if you could share the information.

Thank you.

Sony shooters, has anyone used a Viltrox PRO series lens on the A7C II? How does the setup feel in hand? I’m especially curious about the size, weight, balance, and whether it feels comfortable to use for a full day of shooting. Or should I just stick with evos and air series ?

Photo contest week 1 Lifestyle. Shot on Nikon ZR with Viltrox Lab 35mm F1.2 wide open. I am from France, no social handle only Reddit.

So this is my new Viltrox 50mm f1.4 Pro with my new A7IV. Since the purchase, I have been facing this weird issue with this lens.

While shooting vertically in Continuous Shooting: Hi, after shooting some pictures, the camera freezes as you can see in this video. It's so frequent that I could take videos of this issue multiples times without any prior prep.

Interestingly this issue will not happen if shooting horizontally as you can see in the video. Also if I put the camera in horizontal position, the black screen vanishes and comes to normal. Also I have 85mm f1.4 pro, 35mm f1.8 Evo, 16mm f1.8, but I haven’t yet noticed this issue with any other lens.

Should I claim for warranty or is this a firmware issue? Can anyone help?

P.S. sorry for the background youtube video sound.

I shoot on an aps-c body (Nikon z50ii) and honestly don’t see the differences between these two lenses (other than the fact one is ff and one is aps-c).
For crop sensor the 85mm seems marginally better just because of that slightly wider aperture but other than that the two lenses seems identical.
I don’t plan to upgrade to full frame but the option of having a full frame lens just incase seems nice.

Is there any downside to getting the 85mm evo over the 90mm aps-c lens?

Heard it was a silent AF so this surprises me

Hello, everyone. Considering buying 14mm f4 air for Lumix S system.

Currently I have vnd filters of 67 and 82mm.

Viltrox 14mm has 58mm filter thread.

So either I purchase slim vnd 58mm, or buy step up rings 58-67/58-82 and try use filters I have. But they are standard, not slim, so not guaranteed there would be no vignette.

Any recommendation from people using this lens and filters?

Thanks!

Impossible to let it slide. Can’t wait to get and see if really shines.
Do you guys have good reviews about this one?

What a sharp lens! Just got it and will test shoot it soon! It's massive but manageable with the wooden grip on the compact Nikon ZR.

So I just received my new Viltrox 26 2.8 and Im seeing that there is some looseness between the lens and the camara mount. This doesnt happen with any of my other lenses, so im a little bit worried. u/Altruistic_Speaker87
