What We Like
+Excellent corner-to-corner sharpness even wide open at f/2.2
+Compact and lightweight at 320-325g for a 135mm equivalent telephoto
+Very affordable at $369 USD, less than half comparable alternatives
+Well-controlled distortion, chromatic aberration, and coma with near-perfect correction
+Smooth, pleasant bokeh with attractive background separation
+Robust build quality with metal mount and dust/moisture resistance
Worth Knowing

−Fujifilm X-mount version has reduced feature set (no function button or click-less aperture)
−Some halation and loss of contrast at f/2.2, improving at f/5.6 and smaller

Read our notes on general
The Viltrox AF 90mm f/2.2 EVO is the company's latest in its budget-friendly, compact line of lenses for APS-C systems, and it offers excellent image quality and value for the dollar. The Viltrox AF 90mm f/2.2 EVO delivers extremely sharp results with minimal lateral and moderate axial CAs. Image distortions can be mostly ignored and vignetting characteristic is decent for a lens in this speed class. At $369, it sits in territory where you'd normally make compromises on sharpness, autofocus, or build quality, and this lens largely refuses to do that.
