A Glimpse into the Future

We didn't just show what's available now; we previewed the future of the Viltrox ecosystem. Our upcoming roadmap generated massive buzz, particularly:

  • The Expanding EVO Lineup: Building on the momentum of the 35mm and 55mm, we revealed highly anticipated future additions to the EVO family. This includes the AF 75mm F1.8 EVO (APO) and AF 90mm F2.2 EVO (APO) for APS-C shooters, alongside the wide-angle AF 26mm F2.8 EVO (APO) for Full Frame.
  • L-Mount Expansion: Our new L-mount products drew a steady crowd on Day 2, proving the strong demand for high-quality, versatile glass in the L-mount alliance (featuring the upcoming AF 28mm F4.5 Chip).
  • The LAB Series: The highly anticipated AF 35mm F1.2 LAB (N) Non-Screen Version turned heads among gear enthusiasts.
  • Cinema Solutions: To fulfill our "From Photo to Cinema" promise, we showcased new focal lengths in our EPIC anamorphic lineup (40mm, 21mm, and 29mm T2.0/T2.4 1.33X), alongside the NexusFocus autofocus system and the Vintage Z1 Pro flash.

Masterclasses: Pro Workflows in the Real World

We believe gear should be tested in real-world scenarios. That’s why we invited a powerhouse lineup of industry leaders to lead our daily Masterclasses.

 

A special thanks to our Viltrox Ambassadors Eli Infante (@eli_infante_) and Francisco Hernandez (@fjhphoto), alongside our brilliant guest speakers, wedding filmmaker Se Park (@iam_separk) and award-winning DP David Wright (@david_wright_photo).

 

Through their workshops and live sessions, they shared real-world insights, practical techniques, and creative perspectives that truly resonated with the audience and inspired many on-site. Whether they were demonstrating how Viltrox glass renders skin tones in street photography or showcasing professional on-set lighting and video production workflows, their expertise brought the "From Photo to Cinema" vision to life.

Community Connection: Viltrox Chat & Epic Giveaways

Beyond the gear, NAB Show is about the community. Our morning Viltrox Chat sessions provided an open space for creators to connect directly with our ambassadors, exchanging ideas on creative projects and solving real-world shooting challenges.

Until Next Frame

As we wrap up NAB Show 2026, the conversations we had and the future collaborations we explored continue to inspire us. We moved from photo to cinema, exploring the endless possibilities across evolving workflows, and it was incredible to connect with creators from around the world.

Until the next NAB Show — see you again.
