Another day, another new Viltrox lens is here in all of its high-performance, low-price glory. Making a name for itself as an affordable, yet reliable lens manufacturer, Viltrox is becoming popular for hybrid shooters looking to build their lens collections a la carte, mixing and choosing unique lenses that match their specific needs.
This new 85mm f/2 lens from Viltrox is a fast portrait-length prime that could make a great addition to any Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless camera owner's bag. Let’s take a look at what it offers.
The Viltrox AF 85mm f/2 EVO FE
Following up on the announcement of a new Viltrox AF 50mm f/1.4 FE, which was unveiled last week, also for Sony E-mount mirrorless shooters, this 85mm option could be an ideal standard prime lens for your projects.
With a versatile focal length and wide f/2 aperture, the Viltrox AF 85mm f/2 EVO FE could be an ideal option for capturing flattering portraits with natural perspective and smooth subject separation.
Designed to be sturdy with durable materials and a precision aluminum alloy mount, the lens should be able to support both fast autofocus and manual focus override for full creative control.
The Viltrox AF 85mm f/2 EVO FE also features a nice, overall optical design and some advanced coatings, which should help it deliver sharp, high-contrast images while resisting dust, water, and smudges.
