Nine lenses and one compact flashgun are set for Viltrox’s May 15 reveal at the 2026 China International Photography Fair in Beijing, signaling another rapid product push from the lens maker.
The lineup spans multiple systems and tiers, from a full-frame AF 28mm f/4.5 pancake and AF 35mm f/1.4 Pro to APS-C Evo and Pro primes, a Micro Four Thirds AF 25mm f/1.7, and a new tilt-shift lens.
Two APS-C f/1.2 Pro lenses—18mm and 40mm—stand out for pairing unusually fast apertures with compact designs, while the 75mm f/1.8 EVO and 90mm f/2.2 EVO appear aimed at Sony E and Nikon Z users.
Several details remain unconfirmed ahead of the show, including the tilt-shift lens’s focal length and aperture, mount availability for some models, and fuller specifications for the teased flashgun.
