The upcoming Viltrox 35mm f/1.8 EVO and Viltrox 55mm f/1.8 EVO full-frame lenses will both be APO designs. An apochromatic lens (APO) has better correction of chromatic and spherical aberration than the much more common achromat lenses. The lenses will have a 58mm filter thread, close-focusing distances of 0.34m and 0.43m, respectively, and will be available for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Leica L mounts.
