Review VerdictLately, Viltrox has been killing it with numerous high-quality yet still very affordable prime lenses. And the Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.8 EVO is another one in this row. Sony hasn't beefed up the megapixel game on their APS-C cameras yet, and the lens easily crushed what's available on the 24-megapixel sensor used for testing. On this platform, it's exceedingly sharp straight from f/1.8 and that's across the image field. Lateral CAs are minimal. Axial CAs can be visible at large aperture settings, but they are still very moderate. The native vignetting is on the high side, but an auto-correction profile is available (at least in E-mount). Image distortions are negligible. The bokeh is, once again, quite decent although it's too punchy in certain scenes. As for the build quality the lens remains in line with the other EVO lenses that we've tested lately. The metal construction feels very sturdy with good feedback from the control rings - other than the A-mode on the aperture ring which slips too easily. The AF is pretty good as well. As to be expected from en EVO lens, the weather sealing is on the basic side. In the sea of fast medium prime lenses, the Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.8 EVO stands out with sheer performance and you should check it out if you are shopping in this segment.
