Viltrox AF 35mm F1.8 EVO is a compact full-frame APO prime for Nikon Z. It combines a natural 63° view, bright f/1.8 aperture, fast quiet STM autofocus, 0.34m close focus and direct aperture/focus controls for street, travel, environmental portraits and video.

This fast APO prime for Nikon Z combines a naturally wide view, clean colour and a compact body. It is made for street, travel, environmental portraits, documentary work and video.

The 13-element, 10-group design uses 2 ED, 3 HR and 1 ultra-precision UA aspherical element to bring red, green and blue wavelengths to the same focal plane. High-contrast edges stay clean and tonal transitions remain natural.
The bright aperture supports faster shutter speeds and lower ISO after dark. Nine aperture blades produce gentle background blur, while the versatile 63° view keeps valuable environmental context in the frame.


A quiet STM lead-screw motor delivers fast, smooth focusing for stills and video. AF/MF, a custom Fn button and a click/de-click aperture control keep key settings close at hand.
The official manufacturer MTF chart shows contrast and detail transfer from the centre towards the image edges. The APO design and modern glass are engineered for high-resolution full-frame sensors.


Manufacturer samples demonstrate natural perspective, smooth subject separation and the lens's range from broad landscapes to close environmental portraits.
