Pros: Amazing sharpness already at full opening, construction, screen with settings and function keys

Cons: For now, no one

Opinion: Love at first use, incredible sharpness already at 1.8 which becomes excellent at 2.8 at least on my alpha IV and alpha 9 bodies. Very manageable vignetting in real use. Fast AF. Very nice blur. The metal construction gives a solid feel that I haven't had since my first SLRs in the 80s. Tropicalized and internal fire. Upgradable via usb c socket

Pros: Price, construction, screw filters, aperture, display and much more.

Cons: Flare and lens hood attachment.

Opinion: I hadn't heard very good things about the first Viltrox lenses, but this 16mm pulled me a lot, so I decided to get it... to immediately put it to the test in Iceland with a my Sony a7IV. Purchased in March 2024 for €550, so a super honest price, I was immediately fascinated, aluminum construction, well-done tropicalization, excellent display and firmware updates directly from the app without any adapter. This lens was my choice for many reasons, in addition to the features I have already mentioned above, this lens offers f/ 1.8 aperture, with excellent sharpness already at f/ 2.2, good coma for night photos from f/2.8, super useful display for focusing, with two customizable buttons, one of which is personally set to "infinite" focus to have point stars. You arrive at the spot, position the camera, with a click the lens is set to the desired focus and I am ready to shoot at my sky... It seems little but at night it saves a lot of time. Being a super wide-angle, it still offers the possibility of mounting 77mm screw filters, also a great plus point! Focus? Excellent, fast and with an excellent response also on the video side. Could you ask for more? In my opinion, considering the price, I think not! What I didn't like is definitely the coupling of the lens hood, bad, with a minimum movement the lens hood (not of excellent workmanship) comes off and you risk losing it. Some attention to be paid in the light vignetting very manageable in post and also to flares, with direct lights in my opinion it suffers a bit. I conclude by saying that after months of use, even in bad weather and/or light situations, it has always satisfied me and I highly recommend its purchase. In my profile there are many photos taken thanks to this little gem.

Pros: Cost, almost no distortion

Cons: Full-aperture clarity, ridiculous lens hood attachment

Opinion: It's a great lens, I use it on the Z6II and Z6III but I still have to test it well in the different scenes. I'm not convinced by the sharpness for the moment, especially with the aperture wide open but as I said, I still have to test it well. The lens hood is not bad but the attachment is on par with the other Viltrox lenses I own, almost ridiculous.

Pros: Sharpness beyond expectations even at maximum aperture, construction, screen with all the information.

Cons: Until now no one

Opinion: Recently bought tried only during the day, it's a bomb, at night I haven't tried it yet, but from what I read it should be super even in that case. Great lens, fantastic construction and the weight with my Z6II doesn't seem excessive to me. The screen on the barrel is very useful both automatically and manually. highly recommended.

Pros: Good sharpness even at 1.8, from 2.2 to f8 is really a blade, compact and space-saving, for me it is not heavy, a right weight, excellent digital screen, with a button at night they are in focus in an instant.

Cons: Slight vignetting that is very manageable in PS

Opinion: I had the opportunity to test it both during the day during sunset and at night, a lens that left me happy, beautiful colors, on a7iv it fits like a glove aesthetically, AF very fast, the quality of the file that churns out is remarkable, sharp even at the edges, little coma at 1.8 that improves to 2.2, in short, paid 590 € a lens that can be compared very well with the sony 14 GM. Recommended rating 10
