Viltrox has officially kicked off its new EVO lineup with the AF 85mm F2.0 EVO FE, a full-frame lens built for creators who crave professional performance in a compact form. Weighing just 340 grams, it’s the smallest and lightest 85mm Viltrox has ever made—but it doesn’t compromise on quality or control.
A New Era of EVO Optics
At the heart of the new EVO series is a complete optical redesign: 10 elements in 8 groups engineered for clarity and color fidelity. The result is crisp detail from edge to edge—even wide open at F2.0. Stop down to F4 or F5.6 and the sharpness reaches peak performance, giving photographers the flexibility to shoot confidently across lighting conditions and styles.
Built for the Real World
Compact doesn’t mean delicate. The AF 85mm F2.0 EVO features a rubber-sealed lens mount for protection against light rain and dust, while its front element coating resists water and smudges. This is a lens made to travel—perfect for street shooters, portrait artists, and anyone who values balance and reliability on the go.
Portrait-Perfect at F2.0
The F2.0 aperture delivers what every 85mm should: smooth, natural bokeh with flattering compression and strong subject separation. Its 0.74m minimum focus distance makes it equally adept at close-up compositions where texture and detail shine.
Autofocus That Keeps Up
Powered by a high-precision STM stepping motor, autofocus is fast, quiet, and accurate—ideal for hybrid shooters capturing both stills and video. Whether you’re filming interviews or tracking a subject outdoors, the EVO maintains focus with consistency and discretion.
Controls That Feel Right
Viltrox put thought into every touchpoint. The Fn button, click switch, and AF/MF selector give shooters tactile, intuitive control without needing to dive into menus. Every control sits exactly where your fingers expect it to be, enabling quick adjustments when it counts.
A True Everyday Essential
The new Viltrox AF 85mm F2.0 EVO FE is a statement lens—lightweight, reliable, and remarkably sharp. It represents the best of what Viltrox does: practical innovation that enhances creative freedom. Whether you’re shooting portraits, details, or cinematic video, this compact 85mm delivers pro-grade results in a form you’ll actually want to carry everywhere.
