Viltrox is a Chinese brand of lenses and other photographic accessories, established in 2009 by Shenzhen Jueying Technology Co., Ltd in Shenzhen, China.[1]
History
[edit source]- 2009 – brand launch[1][2]
- 2018 – first manual focus lens
- 2019 – first autofocus lens
- 2022 – start of current series lineup
- 2025 – joined L-Mount Alliance[3][4]
In mid-2022, Viltrox representative reported that company has been told by Canon to stop selling all RF mount products.[5] 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.[6] 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.
Products
[edit source]Viltrox makes wide range of photographic equipment, including photo and cinema lenses, lens adapters, teleconverters, flash units, video lights and external camera monitors.

- Chip – pancake-style lens without manual controls
