Viltrox Launches Two New EVO Series Portrait Lenses: 75mm F1.8 & 90mm F2.2 for APS-C
Viltrox has just unveiled two exciting additions to its popular EVO series – the AF 75mm F1.8 EVO and AF 90mm F2.2 EVO. Designed exclusively for APS-C mirrorless cameras, these lightweight telephoto primes promise professional-grade portrait performance without breaking the bank or your back.

Available for Sony E-mount, Fujifilm X-mount, and Nikon Z-mount, the two lenses target slightly different shooting styles while sharing the same compact design philosophy and thoughtful feature set.



Viltrox AF 75mm F1.8 EVO – The Versatile Everyday Portrait Lens

The 75mm F1.8 EVO provides an equivalent focal length of 112mm. This puts it in a sweet spot – long enough for flattering compression, but wide enough to include some environmental context.

  • Maximum Aperture: F1.8 – excellent low-light performance and creamy bokeh
  • Weight: Around 300g (depending on mount) – lighter than many full-frame alternatives.
  • Optical Design: 11 elements in 9 groups, including 2 HR and 2 ED elements
  • Best For: Natural portraits, lifestyle photography, travel, and detail shots
  • Price: $329 USD

Viltrox AF 90mm F2.2 EVO – The Dedicated Portrait Specialist

The 90mm F2.2 EVO delivers a tighter 135mm equivalent – the legendary "portrait telephoto" sweet spot beloved by headshot and fashion photographers. This focal length offers stronger spatial compression, making it easier to isolate subjects from busy backgrounds.

  • Maximum Aperture: F2.2 – bright enough for beautiful separation while keeping the lens compact
  • Weight: Around 320g – remarkably light for a telephoto prime
  • Optical Design: 10 elements in 8 groups, with 2 HR and 2 ED elements
  • Best For: Headshots, outdoor portraits, cinematic telephoto scenes, street photography

Which One Should You Choose?

Choose the 75mm F1.8 EVO if: You want a versatile everyday portrait lens. The slightly wider field of view works well for environmental portraits, full-body shots, and indoor sessions. The faster F1.8 aperture also gives you an edge in low-light situations.

Choose the 90mm F2.2 EVO if: You specialize in headshots, fashion, or outdoor portraits. The tighter 135mm equivalent compression creates a more dramatic, cinematic look with stronger subject isolation. It's the classic "beauty lens" focal length.
