Viltrox is a Chinese brand of lenses and other photographic accessories, established in 2009 by Shenzhen Jueying Technology Co., Ltd in Shenzhen, China.

History

2009 – brand launch
2018 – first manual focus lens
2019 – first autofocus lens
2022 – start of current series lineup
2025 – joined L-Mount Alliance

In mid-2022, Viltrox representative reported that company has been told by Canon to stop selling all RF mount products. At that point only one such lens (85mm f/1.8 for full frame) was produced by Viltrox.

In January 2026, several websites reported Nikon filing a patent infringement lawsuit against Viltrox in China. Lawsuit wasn't acknowledged by either side, and new lenses for Nikon Z-mount have since been released by Viltrox and other third-party manufacturers. In July 2026, Nikon has reportedly lost that lawsuit.

Products

Viltrox makes wide range of photographic equipment, including photo and cinema lenses, lens adapters, teleconverters, flash units, video lights and external camera monitors.

Photographic lenses

Modern lineup consists of following series of lenses for mirrorless cameras:

Lab – flagship lenses with largest apertures and premium features
Pro – high-end lenses with large apertures and VCM autofocus motors
Evo – mid-range lenses with smaller apertures
Air – compact lightweight lenses with minimal controls
Chip – pancake-style lens without manual controls
DF and C – initial series of Viltrox autofocus lenses (for full frame and crop sensors respectively)

For higher-end lenses Viltrox uses glass supplied by Hoya.
