Viltrox's latest additions to their EVO line-up are two compact APS-C portrait primes, the Viltrox AF 75mm F1.8 EVO and Viltrox AF 90mm F2.2 EVO. These lenses are designed for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Fujifilm X mirrorless cameras, offering crop-sensor users lightweight telephoto options without the bulk of longer portrait lenses. The 75mm model provides a 112.5mm equivalent angle of view, while the 90mm stretches to a classic 135mm equivalent, making them ideal for various portrait styles. The 75mm lens is versatile for street portraits and urban detail work, while the 90mm excels at compression and tighter headshots. The lenses feature ED and HR glass for improved edge detail and chromatic aberration control, and both focus as close as 0.74m. The balance between reach and portability is a key selling point, with weights similar to APS-C camera bodies. Viltrox has also included STM autofocus, a 58mm filter thread, and a USB-C firmware update port. The Sony E and Nikon Z versions offer additional controls, but Fujifilm X users should note the absence of these extras. The launch follows Viltrox's recent expansion of the EVO line, including 35mm and 55mm primes, catering to photographers seeking small, fast autofocus lenses. The lenses are priced competitively, with the 75mm model at £319 and the 90mm at £359 in the UK, making them an attractive option for APS-C camera users.
