What We Like
+Exceptional sharpness and optical performance even wide open at f/1.8 with outstanding edge-to-edge clarity
+Compact and lightweight at 355g, ideal for portable setups and balances well on small mirrorless bodies
+Excellent value at $329 USD with professional-level image quality and rendering
+Smooth, natural bokeh and effective subject separation for portrait work with minimal vignetting from f/2.8 onward
+Fast, quiet, and accurate STM autofocus with reliable eye and face tracking for both photo and video
+Versatile 112mm full-frame equivalent focal length perfect for portraits, street photography, and lifestyle work
Worth Knowing
−Moderate vignetting at f/1.8 (1.7 EV) that requires stopping down to f/2.8 for well-controlled falloff
−Notable focus breathing and some halation/loss of contrast at maximum aperture when shooting video
−STM motor is slower than more premium autofocus systems; occasional focus hunting in low-contrast situations
−Basic weather sealing compared to premium lenses; aperture mode switch on some mounts can slip too easily

Read our notes on general
With sharpness far beyond the ordinary, dazzling contrast, perfect distortion control, and smooth bokeh, the Viltrox AF 75mm F1.8 EVO delivers outstanding optical performance in an exceptionally compact package. The APS-C format lens is ideal for tight, head-and-shoulders portraiture and is a great performer at a bargain price. Weather sealing is on the basic side, but the lens stands out with sheer performance in the sea of fast medium prime lenses.
