Viltrox has launched a sitewide Black Friday sale with 20% off lenses and accessories from November 20 to December 1, 2025. The offer includes (but is not limited to) LAB, Pro, EVO, Air, Raze, and EPIC lenses, plus some of their lighting and monitoring products, so this could be the right time for anyone who has been waiting to add something specific to their kit. Let’s have a look.
Viltrox’s lineup spans stills and cine lenses, some of which we’ve only recently had a look at, like the AF 85mm f/2.0 EVO FE Mount Lens and the Air Series 15mm F/1.7 Wide-Angle. The company is also marking the sale as part of its ten-year stretch of developing a full ecosystem. The following are just some of the items Viltrox has in its lineup for their Black Friday sale:
The LAB, Pro, EVO, and Air series share common focal lengths for Sony E-, Nikon Z-, and Fujifilm X-mounts, with apertures across these lines including F1.2, F1.4, and F1.8. Differences mainly lie in build and intended use. Here are descriptions in a nutshell:
The Raze line is built for the Ronin 4D and Inspire 3 and uses Viltrox’s autofocus system. The lenses span 16mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm at F1.8, plus a 90mm F3.5. They are designed to hold focus during gimbal or aerial moves, giving operators an alternative to DJI’s own primes when managing depth of field or setting repeatable focus pulls.
The EPIC PL-mount lenses we looked at here cover 25mm / 35mm / 50mm / 65mm Macro / 75mm / 100mm / 135mm, all in PL mount. They create a 1.33× squeeze factor that results in a wider frame when desqueezed, along with the characteristic horizontal flare and increased field width. The series gives filmmakers access to a broader anamorphic set at a lower entry point than most PL options.
Viltrox also offers compact flashes, portable LEDs, and small field monitors. The LEDs generally aim for accurate color output, and their monitors provide basic exposure tools, such as waveform and focus assist. These products round out the ecosystem for shooters who need simple on-camera or on-set support.
Can’t stress this highly enough, but it’s not just the above-mentioned products that are 20% off during Black Friday – it’s ALL Viltrox products!
Does a 20% discount change your decision to add a new lens to your kit this year? What gear interests you the most? Let us know in the comments.

A camera was put in my hands at 16, and I’ve been taking photographs ever since. Before moving to Vienna, I worked as a photographer on film sets, telling stories as they unfolded behind the scenes. Since then, I’ve focused on immersive theater, both as a photographer and an actor. I am the photographer for the award-winning Nesterval ensemble, documenting the energy and atmosphere of their performances. I’m a teller of stories. Stories hold my interest. I’ll take on any project with a story to tell.
