Summary

Based on current leaks from February 2026, the Viltrox AF 55mm f/1.8 EVO APO is shaping up to be a high-performance lens thanks to its apochromatic (APO) design. This is an important technical projection, as it would allow images to be captured with exceptional color correction and without chromatic aberrations, something unusual in this price range. As it has not yet been officially launched, it is estimated that its optical quality will seek to compete directly with professional range lenses, offering critical sharpness from its f/1.8 aperture that will make correction work in editing much easier. As for its construction, projections indicate that the EVO series will include advanced controls such as customizable buttons and an aperture ring with a "de-click" option for silent video recording. These features position it as an extremely versatile tool for portrait and street photography in Sony E, Nikon Z and Fujifilm X mounts. For a modern workflow, this lens promises to deliver very clean files that will speed up post-production, allowing for more efficient file management before sending them to your NAS.
