Combining an entirely redesigned, enhanced optical layout with advanced autofocus technology, the lens brings exceptional sharpness, refined color rendering, and intuitive control to photographers and videomakers. The new Viltrox EVO Series evolves the camera lens by perfecting every essential function, not by piling on complexity. The result is finely tuned control, exceptional image quality, and effortless portability for professional results. Every detail empowers creativity, enabling photographers to shoot with precision and ease, making this lens a powerful, friendly, and versatile starting point for everyone. EVO combines high-performance optics, intuitive physical controls, and compact, lightweight design, achieving a perfect harmony of performance and portability.

Precision optics for a pure, clean image
Engineered with 10 elements in 8 groups, the AF 85mm F2.0 EVO achieves edge-to-edge clarity even when shot wide open at F2.0. Its resolving power captures the finest details across the frame, maintaining exceptional sharpness and natural contrast from center to corner. Resolution peaks between F4 and F5.6, allowing users to achieve consistently clear results across a range of apertures, lighting conditions and creative styles.

Compact and lightweight, but professional
Weighing only 340 grams, this is Viltrox’s smallest and lightest full-frame 85mm lens. The compact design offers balanced handling and comfort, ideal for travel, street photography, and long portrait sessions. The 85mm focal length provides a classic portrait perspective, with natural compression and well-controlled distortion that flatters subjects while preserving true-to-life rendering. Despite its compact size, the lens retains a solid, well-crafted feel that supports confident shooting in diverse environments.

F2.0 aperture: the perfect photographic tool
The F2.0 aperture delivers both aesthetic and practical advantages: smooth, natural bokeh with beautiful background separation, while maintaining excellent low-light performance, for both night portraits and cityscapes. The lens also boasts a minimum focus distance of 0.74 meters, allowing creative users to explore close-up compositions with refined texture and consistent detail.

Smooth, quiet, accurate autofocus
Driven by the high-precision STM stepping motor, autofocus performance is fast, quiet, and accurate, making it suitable for still photography as well as video applications that demand seamless, reliable focusing.

Intuitive, tactile control
Practical control features such as a Function (Fn) button, click switch, and auto/manual focus selector allow users to adapt quickly in dynamic shooting environments. Each control is designed for intuitive use, placing key functions within immediate reach.

Tough and always ready for action
Viltrox’s AF 85mm F2.0 EVO is built with reliability and durability in mind. A rubber-sealed lens mount provides resistance to light rain and dust, while a water and smudge-resistant front element coating keeps the lens ready for challenging outdoor conditions.

By combining sophisticated optical design, refined mechanical engineering, and everyday usability, the Viltrox AF 85mm F2.0 EVO offers creators an inspiring new tool for capturing portraits, detail shots, and fascinating scenes with exceptional clarity and character.
