credits: VIltrox Viltrox’s new AF 35mm f/1.8 Evo and AF 55mm f/1.8 Evo lenses are here. Both were announced at NAB Show 2026 and are built around an apochromatic (APO) optical design, which is meant to bring red, green, and blue wavelengths into the same focal plane. In real-world use, that usually means less chromatic aberration and cleaner edges, especially in high-contrast scenes, along with more consistent colour rendering. On the inside, both lenses use fairly complex op

The most unusual of the three is the 130mm f/1.8 (technically closer to 128mm in the patent). On paper, it overlaps quite a bit with Canon’s
