Viltrox is teasing a pretty wide range of new gear ahead of NAB Show 2026, taking place April 18–22. One of the main highlights is the next step for its EVO series, including new APO lenses that are expected to be officially announced during the show. These are meant to improve optical performance while still keeping things practical for both photo and video work.

Another big focus is the L-mount lineup, which Viltrox has been building up more seriously lately. At NAB, the company plans to show the AF 16mm f/1.8 L, along with several unreleased lenses for the system. That suggests Viltrox is starting to treat L-mount as a long-term platform, especially for people shooting on Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma bodies. At the same time, its LAB and Pro series lenses will also be on display, giving a closer look at what the company is doing on the higher-end.

On the video side, Viltrox is also expanding its cinema lineup, with new focal lengths in the EPIC series and Raze DL-mount lenses built for the DJI Ronin 4D. There is also the NexusFocus adapter, which adds autofocus capability to cinema setups, something that is still not very common. Beyond lenses, Viltrox will also be showing lighting and monitoring gear.

It uses a single-pin hot shoe, so it will work across different camera brands, but there is no TTL or any kind of automatic exposure control. Everything here is manual. Power can be adjusted across 19 steps ov

Meike’s New AF 56mm f/1.7 Air Lens

credits: Meike Meike has announced a new AF 56mm f/1.7 Air lens for APS-C Sony E-mount cameras, adding another lightweight option to its lineup. On APS-C, that 56mm works out to roughly an 85mm equivalent, so it sits right in that classic short telephoto range that is often used for portraits. Looking at the specs, the lens uses an 11-element, 7-group optical design and has a 9-blade aperture, which should help with smoother background rendering. The aperture runs from f/1.7
