Viltrox has introduced silver versions of three of its compact Air-series autofocus primes for Fujifilm X-mount: the AF 9mm F2.8 Air Silver, AF 15mm F1.7 Air Silver, and AF 25mm F1.7 Air Silver. While the optics remain unchanged from the black versions, the new silver finish aligns perfectly with Fujifilm’s design language, offering shooters a more cohesive aesthetic when pairing with silver-bodied cameras like the X-T5 or X-E5.

Why Silver Matters for Fujifilm Shooters
Fujifilm’s X-mount system has long embraced silver-and-black finishes, with many first-party XF lenses available in silver. Until now, budget-friendly third-party alternatives meant settling for black. The new silver Air series lenses resolve this mismatch, giving enthusiasts a lightweight, affordable option that looks as good as it performs.
