Viltrox Adds 75mm F/1.8 and 90mm F/2.2 Portrait Primes to the EVO Series

Viltrox is expanding its EVO lineup with two new APS-C portrait primes, the AF 75mm F/1.8 EVO and AF 90mm F/2.2 EVO. Both lenses are designed to deliver strong portrait performance in compact, lightweight bodies and will be available for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Fujifilm X mounts.

The new additions join the existing 35mm F/1.8, 55mm F/1.8, and 85mm F/2 lenses in the EVO series, further strengthening Viltrox’s lineup of affordable portrait and everyday primes.

Designed for Portraits and Everyday Shooting

As part of the EVO series, both lenses use a stepping motor (STM) autofocus system that promises fast, quiet, and accurate focusing performance. They support eye detection and subject tracking with compatible camera bodies, making them suitable for both photography and video applications.

Both lenses also feature an internal focusing design that keeps the center of gravity consistent while focusing. This makes them particularly well-suited for use on gimbals and other stabilized video setups.

The optical designs incorporate extra-low dispersion (ED) and high-refractive (HR) elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and improve image clarity. Viltrox says both lenses are capable of delivering sharp results and pleasing rendering even when used wide open.

Additional features include an AF/MF switch, customizable function button, clicked or de-clicked aperture control, and standard 58mm filter threads. Both lenses have a minimum focusing distance of 0.74m.

Viltrox AF 75mm F/1.8 EVO

The AF 75mm F/1.8 EVO delivers a full-frame equivalent focal length of approximately 112.5mm, making it a classic choice for portrait photography. Combined with its bright F/1.8 aperture, the lens is designed to produce strong subject separation and attractive background blur.

The optical design consists of 11 elements in 9 groups, including two ED and two HR elements. Viltrox says the lens effectively suppresses chromatic aberrations while maintaining sharp detail and smooth bokeh.

“Featuring a bright f/1.8 aperture and optimized optical design, the lens expands creative versatility from day to night, delivering clean, low-noise image quality even in indoor, dusk, and low-light environments,” Viltrox says.

The AF 75mm F/1.8 EVO weighs 355g and measures 78mm in length.

Viltrox AF 90mm F/2.2 EVO

The AF 90mm F/2.2 EVO offers an even longer full-frame equivalent focal length of approximately 135mm. The additional reach makes it well-suited for tighter portraits, events, and situations where photographers want stronger background compression.

Its optical design features 10 elements in 8 groups, including two ED and two HR elements. Viltrox says the lens is engineered to provide edge-to-edge sharpness while maintaining balanced rendering across the frame.

The company also highlights the lens’s ability to create smooth, atmospheric background blur while keeping subjects sharply defined.

“Featuring a bright F2.2 aperture and optimized optical design, the lens expands creative versatility from day to night, delivering clean, low-noise image quality even in indoor, dusk, and low-light environments,” Viltrox says.

The AF 90mm F/2.2 EVO weighs 345g and measures 78mm long, making it slightly lighter than the 75mm despite the longer focal length.

Pricing and Availability

The Viltrox AF 75mm F/1.8 EVO is priced at $329, while the AF 90mm F/2.2 EVO is available for $369.

Both lenses are now available for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Fujifilm X mount cameras through the Viltrox online store and authorized retailers.
