I’ve been enjoying Viltrox lenses for four years and counting, having originally bought a set of four f/1.4 Viltrox primes for my Nikon Z fc camera back in 2022. The 13mm, 23mm, 33mm and 56mm lenses in question are old news now, but still do me proud. More recent offerings have been divided into four main product lines, comprising low-budget Air lenses, top-grade Pro and Lab lenses and next-generation Evo lenses, the last of these representing the latest line-up from the Chinese manufacturer.
The first Evo lens out of the gene pool was the full-frame compatible Viltrox AF 85mm f/2.0 Evo, followed by the similarly full-frame Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.8 Evo and Viltrox AF 55mm f/1.8 Evo, all three being available in Nikon Z and Sony E mount options. Despite the different focal lengths, the look and feel of these lenses is virtually identical, being extremely similar in size and weight and having exactly the same handling characteristics and 58mm filter thread.
