Nodal Ninja Lens Ring for Viltrox AF 20mm F2.8 Air (Z-mount)

Lens ring to mount the Viltrox AF 20mm F2.8 Air to a panoramic head. Version for the Nikon Z-mount lens. The Sony E-mount version of the same lens takes a different ring (F6517). This is a rectilinear wide-angle lens, not a fisheye. At 20mm on full frame the lens covers about 94° diagonally, so a full sphere needs several rows of shots rather than a single ring of four. If you want a four-shot workflow, a fisheye lens and its matching ring are the faster route. Illustrative photo only, will be updated. This lens ring can be used with Nodal Ninja Ultimate R1/R10/R20, Ultimate M, Nodal Ninja RS and arca-swiss style clamps. Features and Highlights Plastic insert is placed between the outer metal ring and the lens. It is contoured to fit the lens and hence increase area of contact. Large clamping area to reduce stress on the lens barrel, reducing the risk of damaging the lens. Mounted close to the camera to reduce stress on the lens due to gravity of camera body. Rolling the camera/lens in any position including the popular 0, 60 and 90 degree positions. Index marks for every 90 degrees in the front and every 30 degrees at the back for easy alignment of roll of lens. Permanently mounted to lens, making reproducible mounting possible, and much quicker to set up. Compact and lightweight — the lens itself is only 173 g. Arca Swiss Style quick release design, can be mounted directly to other compatible systems. Great for use on a monopod or high pole. Optional accessories Universal adjustable stop plate (F6334) to remember your NPP setting. Soft lens ring pouch (F9222). Package Includes A complete Nodal Ninja Ultimate lens ring, consisting of outer metal ring, inner plastic ring and lens ring plate, assembled together, each part customized for your lens type. Hex keys, misc parts. Note: Always use a proper lens ring for your lens. Improper use of lens ring may cause stress and damage to the lens.
