Product Overview

The 'Viltrox AF 90mm F2.2 EVO' is a lightweight medium telephoto AF prime lens designed for APS-C users. When mounted on an APS-C camera, it provides an angle of view equivalent to approximately 135mm in 35mm format, allowing users to naturally draw in subjects and enjoy impressive portrait photography with a significantly blurred background. The bright F2.2 aperture enables soft, beautiful bokeh that beautifully highlights the subject. While delicately rendering facial expressions, skin texture, and hair, it cleanly separates the subject from the background, making it versatile for everything from daily snapshots to professional photo shoots. The optical system incorporates two ED lenses and two high-refractive-index lenses, achieving clear, high-contrast imagery. Combined with smooth AF performance driven by an STM motor, it enables agile shooting across various scenes, including portraits, pets, flowers, and events. With a lightweight design starting at approximately 320g, it is easy to handle when paired with APS-C cameras and serves as a portable medium telephoto lens that expands creative expression.

Main Features

Approximately 135mm Equivalent Angle of View for Full-Fledged Portrait Photography on APS-C

A 90mm focal length provides an angle of view equivalent to approximately 135mm in 35mm format when mounted on an APS-C camera. This medium telephoto angle naturally draws in subjects and easily blurs backgrounds, making it ideal for capturing portraits with impact.

Soft Bokeh and Dimensionality Created by F2.2 Maximum Aperture

The bright F2.2 aperture smoothly blurs the background, beautifully emphasizing the subject. It captures depth while delicately rendering facial expressions, hair, and fabric textures.

Incorporates Two ED Lenses and Two High-Refractive-Index Lenses

The 8-group, 10-element optical design includes two ED lenses and two high-refractive-index lenses. This suppresses chromatic aberration and achieves clear, sharp imagery even when shot wide open. It balances fine detail resolution with smooth background bokeh.

Lightweight Design for Easy Portability Despite Being a Medium Telephoto Lens

Approximately 320g for Sony E-mount, 325g for Fujifilm X-mount, and 345g for Nikon Z-mount. Despite being a medium telephoto lens, its lightweight construction makes it suitable for shooting that leverages the mobility of APS-C cameras. It can be easily carried on trips or street walks.

Close-Focusing to 0.74m, Offering Broad Creative Possibilities

Minimum focusing distance is 0.74m. Beyond portraits, it supports close-up shots of flowers, small objects, and hand details. It leverages the compression and bokeh unique to medium telephoto lenses to create impactful subject depictions.

Firmware Updates Supported

Equipped with a USB Type-C port for firmware updates. This makes it easy to keep the lens up to date, ensuring long-term, reliable use.
