Uh oh! Just when other lensmakers were adjusting to Viltrox’s three pronged approach of budget AIR, upper mid-tier PRO, and premium LAB series of lenses, Viltrox is back with a whole new series of lenses under the label of EVO. The Viltrox AF 85mm F2 EVO FE bridges the gap between the AIR and PRO […] The post Viltrox EVO 85mm F2 FE Review appeared first on DustinAbbott.net.| DustinAbbott.net
Viltrox’s Pro AF 85mm F1.4 kicked off the jump of their Pro series into the full frame space with a bang. I gave the lens a pretty glowing review (my review here) as did many, many other reviewers.

Viltrox’s AIR series has become one of the most fascinating lineups in the lens market today. Not because they are fancy (they aren’t) or feature rich (ditto), but because they are small, light, inexpensive, and, most importantly, optically impressive. While the earlier lenses in the series tended to fall into the traditional categories (35, 50, […] The post Viltrox AF 9mm F2.8 AIR Review appeared first on DustinAbbott.net.| DustinAbbott.net
Viltrox has carved out a solid place in the market for their increasingly excellent camera lenses, but that’s not all they do. Their next area of disruption is in camera flashes, and they have a stylish and inexpensive new 26W/s hotshoe strobe called the SPARK Z3.
