That’s a crowded market, and Viltrox can’t even (at the moment) claim the least expensive slot, as that is filled by the Samyang ($329 USD). I’m doing this review on the Sony platform where there was a definite 35mm need just a few short years ago, but that void has been filled by a series of competent lenses, including Sony’s own FE 35mm F1.8 ( my review here), Samyang AF 35mm F1.8 (my review here), and the Sigma 35mm F2 DN ( my review here). But fast forward a year, and I’ve already spent time reviewing the very competent Viltrox AF 50mm F1.8 STM ( my review here) and have now turned my attention to the Viltrox AF 35mm F1.8 STM. 2021 didn’t turn out like any of us planned, however, and development of the 35mm and 50mm lenses got pushed back.

The 24mm was to be followed up in 2021 with a 35mm F1.8 along with a 50mm F1.8 lens. About a year ago I reviewed what was the first of a new series of lenses for 2021, a 24mm F1.8 STM lens which I reviewed in a Sony FE mount. They have pulled it off, too, with largely successful lenses at very competitive prices. That takes a lot of guts, as each platform has its own unique challenges, but Viltrox has smartly packaged and repackaged their optical designs with new looks, cine versions, and releases on new platforms like Canon RF and Nikon Z.

And, since that point, they have tackled most modern mirrorless platform with autofocus lenses, from Sony E/FE to Fuji X to Canon EF-M and RF to Nikon Z.

Just a few short years ago I reviewed my first Viltrox lens (a manual focus wide angle), but by their third lens, I was reviewing an autofocus lens.
