Viltrox went all out in 2025 bolstering its fast-glass prime lens offerings for Sony users, as well as its reputation as a leading—perhaps the leading—third-party manufacturer of affordable primes.
The off-brand lens manufacturer now boasts an array of primes for both APS-C and full-frame Sony cameras, including its Air series, Pro series, and LAB series, which are praised for combining lower prices—now even lower thanks to 20% off in the Amazon Spring deals—with solid build quality.
Viltrox’s primes are more affordable alternatives to Sony G Master equivalents and feature weather-sealed metal housings, integrated USB-C connectivity, and fast autofocus systems.
The majority of these Viltrox lenses are toward Sony APS-C cameras, but can be used on Sony full-frame cameras, albeit with some loss in image quality, by activating the ‘APS-C/S35 Shooting’ setting in the camera menu. If doing this, review your photos in camera for vignetting.
Viltrox Air series deals
Designed for Sony E-mount APS-C shooters, Viltrox Air series lenses typically feature 12 optical elements, reliable autofocus driven by a stepping motor, and a minimum aperture of f/16.
