Designed for photographers and content creators who demand exceptional image quality, the Viltrox AF 55mm F1.8 EVO combines professional optical performance with a lightweight, everyday design. Its versatile 55mm focal length closely matches the natural perspective of the human eye, making it an excellent choice for portraits, street photography, travel, lifestyle photography and video creation.
Built around an advanced APO optical design, the lens features 13 elements in 9 groups, including 2 Extra-Low Dispersion (ED), 2 High Refractive (HR) and 1 Ultra-Precision Aspherical (UA) element. This sophisticated construction delivers outstanding sharpness, true-to-life colour and excellent control of chromatic aberration, while the bright F1.8 aperture excels in low-light conditions and produces smooth, natural bokeh for beautiful subject separation.
Fast and quiet STM autofocus provides accurate performance for both still photography and video, while the 0.43m minimum focusing distance allows you to capture detailed close-up images with ease. Weighing approximately 370g, the lens remains comfortable for all-day shooting and features a customisable Fn button, CLICK switch, AF/MF switch, USB-C firmware upgrade port, 58mm filter thread, a rubber-sealed mount and a water and smudge-resistant front element for reliable performance wherever your creativity takes you.
