SUMMARY
Eli Infante tested Viltrox's 35mm f/1.8 Evo and 55mm f/1.8 Evo lenses side-by-side during a location portrait shoot in intense Texas sunlight. The comparison focused on how focal length impacts environmental inclusion and distortion, with the 35mm capturing more context but risking distortion up close, while the 55mm offered a more natural perspective. Infante also shared practical directing techniques and demonstrated autofocus tracking performance for both lenses, noting their affordable price point for the Evo series.
