Viltrox
Unveils New 35mm and 55mm F1.8 EVO Lenses for Sony FE and Nikon Z Mounts
Embracing
the “Photo to Cinema” Vision in an Expanding Imaging Ecosystem at NAB
Show 2026
Las Vegas, NV, April 20th,
2026 -
Viltrox today announced two new additions to its EVO lens lineup: the
AF 35mm F1.8 EVO and AF 55mm F1.8 EVO, available in both Sony FE and
Nikon Z mount systems.
The new lenses will be showcased at NAB Show 2026 in Las Vegas, where
Viltrox will present its theme, “Expanding the Viltrox Imaging System —
From Photo to Cinema,” highlighting its growing portfolio of lenses,
cinema tools, and production accessories that support creators from
photography through to filmmaking.
AF
35mm F1.8 EVO Lens
The AF 35mm F1.8 EVO is designed for creators seeking a versatile,
storytelling perspective. With a 63° field of view, the 35mm focal
length excels in street photography, travel, and environmental
portraits. A minimum object distance of 0.34m allows for detailed
close-up shots, while its compact and light weight all-metal body
ensures portability and longevity for everyday shooting. Fast and
precise autofocus, powered by an STM stepping motor, supports both
still and video applications.
Featuring a 13-element optical construction, the lens delivers sharp,
high-resolution imagery from center to edge, even at its wide F1.8
aperture. Its APO-grade design minimizes chromatic aberration, ensuring
accurate color and clean edges in challenging lighting conditions.
AF
55mm F1.8 EVO Lens
The AF 55mm F1.8 EVO offers a natural perspective close to the human
eye, making it ideal for portraits, still life, and detail-focused
imagery. A fast F1.8 aperture enables smooth, cinematic bokeh,
complemented by a minimum object distance of 0.43m for close-up
versatility. Its light weight balances performance with portability,
and its durable metal construction is designed for reliable use and
longevity in a variety of shooting conditions.
Its 13-element optical design ensures consistent sharpness across the
frame, while the APO configuration effectively suppresses color
fringing and preserves image clarity. Like the 35mm, it features
responsive STM-driven autofocus and intuitive physical controls for
seamless operation.

cinema,” said Frank Fang. “With the introduction of new EVO lenses and
continued development across our ecosystem, we’re excited to share a

Guided by its philosophy, “Vision to Explore,” Viltrox continues to
develop tools that empower creators to push their visual ideas further,
bridging the gap between photography and cinema through a connected and
evolving imaging system.

across its ecosystem, including an expanding EVO lineup, L-mount
lenses, LAB and Pro flagship optics, and cinema solutions such as the
EPIC series, Raze lenses for the DJI Ronin 4D, and the NexusFocus
