The Nikon Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena and the Viltrox AF 90mm f/2.2 EVO side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Nikon Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena if you want a brighter f/1.8 (0.6 stops more light), for dim light and softer backgrounds and coverage of full frame, so it suits the larger-sensor bodies too. Pick the Viltrox AF 90mm f/2.2 EVO if you want a design for APS-C, which usually means smaller and lighter; a fit on more cameras (88 against 16 in this guide); and a lighter lens (320 g against 995 g).
