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.

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.

- 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.
