Viltrox teases multiple new L-mount lenses ahead of NAB
L-mount has always been the mount with great bodies and a thin third-party lens bench — Viltrox showing up to NAB with multiple new lenses (plural) starts to change that calculus. Panasonic S and Leica SL shooters especially have had to pay Sigma tax for affordable fast primes; more Viltrox options in the mix means real competition and lower prices. The apochromatic Evo-series additions are the sleeper detail here — apo correction at Viltrox prices would be genuinely unusual. Nothing to buy yet, but worth keeping an eye on NAB announcements if you're in the L-mount ecosystem.
