Viltrox announced the release of two new APS-C sensor-compatible portrait prime lenses, the “AF 75mm F1.8 EVO” and the “AF 90mm F2.2 EVO,” at its headquarters in Shenzhen, China.
Designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras, these new lenses combine professional telephoto portrait capabilities with a compact and lightweight design.
Viltrox EVO APS-C Lenses: Suitable for all uses, ideal for portraits.
The introduction of two new EVO lenses allows portrait photographers to achieve a powerful spatial compression effect that naturally makes subjects stand out from the background, along with smooth, emotionally resonant bokeh. With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.74m, tighter framing and immersive close-ups are possible, enriching the composition of portraits.
The AF 75mm F1.8 EVO offers a versatile 112.5mm equivalent focal length (35mm format), combining powerful background bokeh with flexible everyday usability for street photography, upper-body portraits, and urban shooting.
The AF 90mm F2.2 EVO offers a classic 135mm equivalent (35mm format) portrait perspective, further enhancing compression and subject separation. It is particularly well-suited for outdoor portraits, weddings, and cinematic portrait photography.
Improved image stability across the entire frame
Viltrox has developed a new optical design incorporating ED (extra-low dispersion) and HR (high refractive index) lenses to reduce chromatic aberration and improve overall image stability. This delivers sharp, high-resolution image quality from the center to the periphery, even at wide apertures, and effectively maintains bright and stable illumination across the entire frame. This results in natural tonal transitions and refined rendering characteristics.
Both lenses feature Viltrox’s STM autofocus system, delivering fast, accurate, and quiet focusing performance for both still photography and video. Stable and responsive continuous autofocus tracking helps maintain focus on subjects even in fast-moving shooting environments.
It also features a customizable Fn button, an AF/MF switch, and a click/de-click aperture ring that allows for seamless switching between still image and video workflows.
Small and lightweight design for everyday carrying.
The two Viltrox EVO APS-C lenses inherit the series’ design language of a refined appearance, compact construction, and durable build quality.
Each lens weighs less than 355g, offering a lightweight alternative to traditional telephoto portrait lenses without compromising performance. The lens mount features rubber sealing, and the front lens element has a stain-resistant and water-repellent coating, making it suitable for outdoor use.
