Viltrox to announce a new line of Micro Four Thirds lenses, the first model will be 25mm f/1.7

By PR admin | Published: May 11, 2026


A quick update to my previous post: Viltrox will announce a new line of Micro Four Thirds lenses, with the first model being the 25mm f/1.7. This decision probably has to do with the upcoming Songdian Micro Four Thirds camera:


The translation on the new teaser says:

“Introducing an all-new lineup of M43-mount autofocus lenses—launched simultaneously.”

Viltrox used to make MFT lenses (see listings):
