Viltrox has introduced two new prime lenses — the AF 35mm F1.8 EVO and AF 55mm F1.8 EVO — designed for Sony FE and Nikon Z users. These new EVO lenses expand Viltrox’s imaging ecosystem, bridging photography and cinema with compact designs, APO‑grade optics, and STM autofocus. Following the company’s “Photo to Cinema” vision, the lenses were highlighted at NAB 2026 as part of Viltrox’s growing lineup of creative tools.
AF 35mm F1.8 EVO
The AF 35mm F1.8 EVO delivers a versatile 63° field of view, perfect for street photography, travel, and environmental portraits. With a minimum focus distance of 0.34m, creators can capture detailed close‑ups. Its lightweight all‑metal body ensures portability, while the STM stepping motor provides fast, precise autofocus for both stills and video. Available now via Amazon, B&H, and Adorama.
AF 55mm F1.8 EVO
The AF 55mm F1.8 EVO offers a natural perspective close to the human eye, making it ideal for portraits and detail‑focused imagery. With smooth bokeh at F1.8 and a minimum focus distance of 0.43m, it balances performance with portability. Its APO optical design suppresses color fringing, ensuring clarity across the frame. The lens is available through Amazon, B&H, and Adorama.
