Viltrox 35mm f/1.8 II EVO Lens (Sony E)

Overview

The Viltrox 35mm f/1.8 II EVO Lens (Sony E) is a fast full-frame wide-angle prime designed for everyday photography and video capture on Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its 35mm focal length offers a natural, versatile perspective suited to street, documentary, travel, portrait, and general-purpose shooting, while the bright f/1.8 maximum aperture helps in low-light conditions and supports shallow depth of field.

Built for responsive modern workflows, this lens combines fast autofocus, a short minimum focusing distance, and a de-clickable aperture ring for smooth exposure control during video recording. Its advanced optical design incorporates aspherical, extra-low dispersion, and high-refractive-index elements, along with HD nano multicoating, to help maintain clarity, contrast, and colour accuracy.

It is an especially useful focal length for photographers and filmmakers who want one lens that can move easily between people, places, and environmental detail.

Designed for Hybrid Shooting

With its quiet autofocus motor and de-clickable aperture ring, this lens is equally comfortable in stills and video workflows. The ability to switch to smooth aperture adjustment makes it easier to perform subtle exposure changes during recording without distracting clicks.

Advanced Optical Construction

The lens uses a 13-element, 10-group optical design with specialised elements to help control aberrations and maintain sharpness across the frame. Combined with HD nano multicoating, this construction is designed to support cleaner, more consistent image quality in a variety of lighting conditions.
