The Viltrox AF 85mm f/2.0 EVO has officially arrived, introducing the company’s new EVO lineup for Sony full-frame cameras. This compact 85mm portrait lens is designed to balance performance, size, and price for creators who want a lightweight option in this classic focal length. Over the last five years, Chinese third-party lenses have become a much bigger part of the mirrorless market. Brands like Viltrox, SIRUI, and 7artisans have helped fill the space left by major manufacturers such as Sony, Nikon, and Canon, whose own lens ecosystems have become increasingly expensive. By offering more budget-friendly options with practical features, these companies have opened the door for many new shooters looking to expand their kit. We recently covered the Viltrox 15mm f/1.7 AIR, a small wide-angle lens that demonstrated how compact Viltrox designs can get. The Viltrox AF 85mm f/2.0 EVO follows that same idea in the portrait category, with a focus on portability, ease of use, and familiar handling for Sony users.
