It is surprisingly not bad at all for what it is. Focuses reasonably close as well which is a nice bonus over the Samyang 18mm. Seems to control C.A better than the Samyang 18mm as well.
I only bought it as couldn’t resist at such a cheap price for a brand new lens. Seems to be unreal value for money.
A.F is even pretty snappy which I wasn't really expecting. Mine came with the newest firmware already installed, apparently this improved a.f performance by a good bit.
The corners aren't great as you would probably expect.
Have nothing to complain about really, build quality is better than I expected as well.
The only negative thing I can say is that it took an age for it to be delivered, must have been sent using the cheapest delivery option FedEx provide and then with the Easter holidays as well. Viltrox were also a little slow in shipping it as well.
Obviously it isn't going to compare well with the Sony 20mm but you wouldn't expect it too.
If anyone fancies taking a punt on one there are lots of discount codes around to get it down to the £114 price when ordering direct from Viltrox, I used Dustin Abbott's discount code which was DUSTINABBOTT.
It is a good choice for someone using the A7C series due to the tiny size and small weight or for someone wanting to try a cheap wide angle at a very cheap price. Have no idea at all how on earth they managed to make these so cheap, even the packaging is reasonably premium feel to it.
Yer man with the really annoying voice seemed to like it.
