Designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras, the new lenses from Viltrox combine professional telephoto portrait performance with compact, lightweight construction. The company says that the new lenses are “versatile for everything, ideal for portraits”, adding that “with the introduction of the two new EVO lenses, portrait photographers can achieve strong spatial compression and smooth, atmospheric bokeh that naturally isolates subjects from distracting backgrounds. With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.74m, these lenses also enable tighter framing and immersive close-up shots for more expressive portrait compositions.”
The new lenses offer, the company claims, “improved image consistency across the frame”. Viltrox has developed new optical designs incorporating ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and HR (High Refractive Index) elements to reduce chromatic aberration and contribute to improved overall image consistency. Even at maximum aperture, the lenses deliver sharp, high-resolution image quality from center to edge, while effectively helping maintain bright, consistent illumination across the frame. This results in natural tonal transitions and refined rendering characteristics.
Both lenses are equipped with Viltrox’s STM autofocus system, delivering fast, accurate, and quiet focusing performance for both photography and video. Stable, highly responsive continuous autofocus tracking helps creators maintain focus on subjects, even in dynamic shooting environments. Both lenses also feature a customizable Fn button, an AF/MF switch, and a switchable click/de-click aperture ring for seamless transitions between photo and video workflows. One note for XF mount users: the XF mount version does not include the CLICK switch, Fn button, and AF/MF switch.
The Viltrox AF 75mm F1.8 EVO for E / Z / XF mount is available with a price of $329.00, while the AF 90mm F2.2 EVO, for the same camera types, has a suggested retail price of $369.00.
