Viltrox 90mm f2.2 EVO Review (Nikon Z): A 135mm Portrait APS-C Lens

Viltrox has just released the AF 90mm f2.2 EVO and there's one thing you need to know before you get too excited. It's an APS-C lens. That single fact decides whether it's for you or not and it's the whole story of this review. I've had it for a few weeks and I put it through portrait sessions, landscape work and product photography. In this video I walk you through the auto focus, the image quality, my honest verdict and more importantly who I think should buy it and who shouldn't. For full disclosure: Viltrox sent me this lens for review. I was not paid for it, and they had no input into what I say here. As always, these are just the real-world results so you can decide for yourself. 📷 GET THE VILTROX 90mm f2.2 EVO (Nikon Z) Viltrox website: https://geni.us/KieranHayes90EVOZ Amazon: https://amzn.to/3PTCx6N 💸 DISCOUNTS I CAN OFFER YOU Neewer — 21% off: HAYES21 Luminar Neo — use code HAYES10 These are affiliate links and it costs you nothing to use them but I may get a slight commission if you do so thank you for supporting my channel.
