Viltrox AF 85mm F2.0 EVO — Evolution of Essentials

The first human tool was never born perfect — it was shaped through countless strikes and refinements. The new Viltrox EVO Series inherits this spirit of evolution, representing the pursuit of perfection through mastering the essentials.

EVO, short for Evolution of Essentials, redefines what a compact, high-performance lens can be. Designed to balance professional image quality with lightweight portability, EVO transforms the foundation of everyday shooting into something extraordinary — refined, responsive, and ready for creators who demand more from simplicity.

Elevate Your Aerial Storytelling

With a true 90 mm focal length, the AF 90mm F3.5 DL delivers powerful spatial compression for dramatic depth. Watch as sweeping vistas transform into layered, narrative-rich frames — each shot imbued with compositional tension.

Compact & Powerful

The AF 85mm F2.0 EVO is a compact full-frame portrait lens, offering refined optics, smooth operation, and superior image quality with pleasing F2.0 bokeh.

Seamless Integration, No Compromises

Featuring native DL mount for a perfect fit with Inspire 3’s X9-8K Air — no adapters or counterweights needed. Its ultra-lightweight design ensures smooth maneuvering, quick balancing, full obstacle avoidance, and seamless compatibility with DJI Ronin 4D for stable, high-performance flight.

Sharp Optics, True Colors

The 10-element design delivers sharp, high-contrast images with minimal distortion and color fringing, maintaining balanced clarity from center to edges.

Precision Autofocus Meets Silence

Equipped with an STM (stepping motor), this lens delivers whisper‑quiet, lightning‑fast autofocus. Whether you’re tracking a bird in flight or composing a sweeping landscape, the AF 90mm F3.5 DL locks on with cinematic smoothness.

Smooth, Accurate Autofocus

The STM motor provides fast, silent autofocus with stable face and eye detection, minimal focus breathing, and a 0.74 m minimum focusing distance for expressive portraits and video.

Cinematic Optics for 8K Clarity

The optimized 12/9 optical structure (5 ED and 4 HR elements) tames distortion and flare. Coupled with advanced multi‑coatings, it delivers edge-to-edge sharpness and pristine contrast — even in challenging backlit scenes. Paired with Inspire 3’s dual native ISO and 14+ stops of dynamic range, the F3.5 aperture ensures stunning detail in both highlights and shadows.

Refined Control

The 85mm F2.0 EVO combines Pro-series controls with a click/de-click aperture, AF/MF toggle, and USB-C firmware updates, plus a metal mount with basic dust and splash resistance.

Ultralight by Design

Weighing in at only 170g, this lens keeps your gimbal load minimal and your flight time maximized. No counterweights needed means faster setup and more time in the sky — so you never miss that perfect moment.

Compact & Capable

Weighing just 800 g with a 58 mm filter thread, the AF 85mm F2.0 EVO offers natural subject separation, minimal distortion, and near G Master-level clarity in a compact, portable design.

Expand Your DL Ecosystem

The AF 90mm F3.5 DL fills a crucial mid-telephoto gap in the DL-mount lineup. From architectural fly-throughs to layered landscapes and aerial portraits, it delivers the reach and clarity needed for precise, cinematic imagery.

Evolved by Purpose

EVO is a portable version of Viltrox Pro and Lab lines, positioned between DF and Pro, offering a balanced mix of performance and mobility with industry-leading autofocus and reliable video AF performance.
