Viltrox

Manufacturer of photographic lenses and other photographic equipment

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

01History

  • 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, some 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.

02Products

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