Image: Viltrox Viltrox decided to go big at CP+ this year, announcing four brand-new lenses and a new mount option for its AF 135mm F1. 8 LAB lens. In case that wasn't enough, it also unveiled a camera battery charging case with a retro-looking design, which is the only item currently available for sale.
First up is the Viltrox AF 35mm F1. 2 LAB FE, which, as the name gives away, is part of the new Viltrox Lab series of lenses. That lineup is the top tier of Viltrox lenses, meant to compete more directly with Sony's G-Master lineup. Viltrox says that this lens is "revolutionizing the 35mm category," promising precise autofocus and strong image quality. The wide aperture also makes it worthy of low-light situations. Next is the AF 85mm F1. 4 Pro FE, which is part of the Pro series. Viltrox promises that it "redefines portrait photography with its sharp details and creamy bokeh. " Both lenses include FE in the names, so Sony users can expect even more options shortly.
The AF 50mm F2. 0 Air is promised as a lightweight, compact option ideal for street and everyday photography. Viltrox didn't specify which mounts it will be available for, but Digital Camera World says it will be coming to Sony FE and Nikon Z mounts. Viltrox also teased that it will be unveiling the AF 25mm F1. 7 Air lens at some point today, providing no details beyond the name.

Unfortunately, not much information is available about the new lenses. What we do know is the names of each and, as a result, the different Viltrox lens lineups to which these lenses belong. The company also shared images from its CP+ booth on Instagram, which include some of the new offerings.
"This is the perfect venue to showcase our commitment to innovation and dedication to providing the tools photographers need to capture stunning images," said Viltrox CEO, Daniel Dai. "We welcome attendees to visit our booth, and experience the future of photography. "
In addition to the new offerings, Viltrox announced that the AF 135mm F1. 8 LAB is coming to Z-mount. This lens was announced back in November for Sony cameras. As a member of the Lab lineup, it offers a premium design, smooth bokeh and sharp performance.
Viltrox didn't provide any pricing or availability information for any of the above lenses, but says it will "soon announce official release dates. "
