The Viltrox AF 90mm f/2.2 EVO and the Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Viltrox AF 90mm f/2.2 EVO if you want a brighter f/2.2 (0.7 stops more light), for dim light and softer backgrounds; a design for APS-C, which usually means smaller and lighter; a fit on more cameras (88 against 41 in this guide); and a lighter lens (320 g against 614 g). Pick the Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8 if you want optical stabilisation, which helps most on bodies without it and coverage of full frame, so it suits the larger-sensor bodies too.
