Viltrox AF 55mm f/1.8 EVO - Sony FE

Looking for a prime lens that captures beautiful portraits, but also works comfortably for street photography and video? The Viltrox AF 55mm f/1.8 EVO is a versatile full-frame prime lens for Sony E-mount cameras. The 55mm focal length feels natural and gives you a bit more calmness and compression in the image than a 35mm lens.

Thanks to the large f/1.8 aperture, you can work well in low light and easily create images with smooth background blur. That’s great when you want your subject to really stand out from the background. The APO design helps reduce chromatic aberrations, so your photos look sharp and clean, even along high-contrast edges and in backlight.

The quiet STM focus motor focuses quickly and accurately and is also pleasant to use while filming. With a minimum focusing distance of 43 centimeters, you can also work fairly close to your subject. The lens is built compactly, weighs 365 grams, and is therefore easy to take with you for a day of shooting photos or video on location.
