Viltrox has teased that more L-mount lenses are on the way ahead of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) trade show in Las Vegas. The announcement was decidedly short on details but suggests the company is ramping up to expand its L-mount lineup after joining the L-Mount Alliance last year.
The press release simply says that the Viltrox NAB booth will “spotlight its growing L-mount portfolio,” including “several new and unreleased L-mount lenses.” Whether these lenses are existing Viltrox offerings that will soon be available for L-mount or completely novel additions to its lineup is unclear, though it is exciting to hear that there will be more than one.
When Viltrox announced it was joining the alliance, it said it would be bringing its AF 16mm F1.8 and 28mm F4.5 lenses to the mount. The company released the 16mm F1.8 back in February, but we are still waiting on news of the promised 28mm lens. No matter what lenses are coming, it looks like Viltrox is finally hitting its stride with L-mount lenses after a bit of a slow start.
Beyond L-mount lenses, Viltrox also teased that it will be announcing new Evo-series lenses at NAB. The Evo series is a newer line of compact full-frame autofocus primes that sit between its premium Pro lenses and budget Air lenses, aiming to balance solid build quality, modern features, and relatively affordable pricing. These new ones will feature apochromatic elements to better control chromatic aberration.
The NAB show runs from April 18-22, so stay tuned for more news as the show approaches.

Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
