Viltrox AF 90mm F.2.2 EVO

Viltrox launched two new APS-C portrait prime lenses: the AF 75mm F1.8 EVO and AF 90mm F2.2 EVO. Designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras, the new lenses combine professional telephoto portrait performance with compact, lightweight construction.

Viltrox AF 75mm F1.8 EVO

The AF 75mm F1.8 EVO offers a versatile 112.5mm-equivalent focal length that balances strong background blur with flexible everyday usability for street photography, half-body portraits, and urban shooting. The AF 90mm F2.2 EVO provides a classic 135mm-equivalent portrait perspective with enhanced compression and subject isolation, making it particularly well suited for outdoor portraits, wedding photography, and cinematic portraiture.

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.

The two EVO lenses continue the series’ design language with a clean exterior, compact construction, and durable build quality. Each lens weighs under 355g*, providing a lightweight alternative to traditional telephoto portrait lenses without compromising performance. With a rubber-sealed lens mount and a smudge and water-resistant coating on the front element, they are well suited to outdoor conditions.

AF 90mm F2.2 EVO (E / Z / XF) – USD $369 / GBP £359 / EUR €429
