Viltrox is set to announce a brand-new mirrorless 85mm f/1.8 Z optic for Nikon Z mount mirrorless cameras.

The company already has established a firm footing in producing optics for mirrorless cameras including a trio of fast primes for Canon's EOS M cameras and an 85mm f/1.8 optic for Sony's mirrorless full frame E-mount. So the new Z mount 85mm addition seems like a natural progression.
