Say Goodbye to Chromatic Aberration and Heavy Gear: Viltrox AF 35/55mm F1.8 EVO FE/Z (APO)
The secret lies in natural perspective and color purity. When chasing the dreamy bokeh of an F1.8 aperture, many photographers face a dilemma: either endure the distracting "purple fringing" in high-contrast scenes, or compromise by carrying bulky full-frame prime lenses. To break this cycle, the Viltrox EVO Series was born.
🔍 Core Pain Points & The EVO Solutions
🟣 Pain Point 1: Purple Fringing and Image Degradation at Wide Apertures
The EVO Solution: Hyper-APO Design + Flagship UA Elements
Leave the chromatic aberration of traditional large-aperture lenses behind. This is the first domestic autofocus APO lens in the standard focal length. Even more surprisingly, both the 35mm and 55mm EVO are equipped with 1 UA (Ultra-high accuracy Aspherical) elements, a flagship technology previously exclusive to the premium LAB and Pro series. Even when shooting backlit hair or high-contrast metal edges, you get pure, clean images with rock-solid edge-to-edge sharpness, virtually eliminating the need for post-processing defringing.
🏋️ Pain Point 2: The Burden of Bulky Full-Frame Lenses
The EVO Solution: Ultimate Lightweight Portability
High image quality shouldn't come at the cost of portability. Weighing only around 355~390g and sized similarly to a mini beverage can, the EVO series redefines mobility. Whether you're shooting street photography all day or trekking on a long journey, it fits easily into your everyday bag, freeing your hands and letting you focus entirely on your creativity.
⚙️ Pain Point 3: Autofocus Lag and Video Noise
The EVO Solution: Silent STM Motor + De-clicked Aperture Ring
Perfectly balancing the needs of hybrid shooters. Equipped with a mature and stable STM motor, autofocus is incredibly smooth and quiet. The lens features an aperture CLICK switch, allowing videographers to transition to a de-clicked, step-less aperture for silky-smooth exposure adjustments without any physical clicking noise.
