Viltrox has announced two new APS-C entries to its "Evo" line of lenses, a 75mm (113mm equiv.) F1.8 and a 90mm (135mm equiv.) F2.2, available for Fujifilm X, Nikon Z and Sony E mounts.

The 75mm uses 11 elements in 9 groups, with two high-refractive index elements and two extra-low dispersion elements. The 90mm has the same mix of special glass, but with 10 elements in 8 groups. Both can focus as close as 0.74m (29"), and use stepper motors for autofocus.

They can also be fitted with 58mm filters and have aperture rings. The Sony E and Nikon Z versions have the ability to click and de-click that ring, as well as a function button, both of which are absent on the version for Fujifilm.

A bit unusually, the version of the lens for Fujifilm has fewer physical controls and switches than the Z and E-mount versions.

The E mount version of the 75mm F1.8 weighs 335g (11.8oz) and is 76mm (3") long. The 90mm is the same length, but weighs 320g (11.3oz). The Z and X mount versions are slightly different weights and lengths, but are effectively the same size. They have rubber seals on their lens mounts to protect against moisture and dust, and have a water resistant coating on their front elements.

The AF 75mm F1.8 Evo costs $329, while the AF 90mm F2.2 costs $369. They are available today.

Press release:

Viltrox Launches AF 75mm F1.8 EVO & AF 90mm F2.2 Lenses

Shenzhen, China, Jun 8(th), 2026 – Viltrox today announced the launch of 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.

Versatile For Everything, Ideal for Portraits

With the introduction of the two new EVO lenses, portrait photographers can achieve strong spatial compression and smooth, atmospheric bokeh that naturally isolates subjects from distracting backgrounds. With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.74m, these lenses also enable tighter framing and immersive close-up shots for more expressive portrait compositions.

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.

Improved Image Consistency Across the Frame

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 Everyday Carry: Compact and Lightweight Designs

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.
