Does anyone have any experience with the Viltrox air 14mm f4?

I have one. Not used it in anger yet but not seen anything unpleasant in testing. Thing is so light i question if there's any glass in it at all!

Thanks. What's the edge and corner sharpness like, and is the AF realiable?

Edges are fine. Extreme corners see a little weirdness, but it looks more like the usual ultrawide distortion/stretching rather than softness or field curvature. AF is as good as any other lens, though I haven't given it anything particularly taxing - I suspect it will be as good as any body allows it to be.

I may be the wrong guy to ask though. I rarely do ultrawide work, so this will just sit in my bag except for the 2-3 times a year i might need it. As such, I'm probably not as discerning as somebody who's bread and butter is ultrawide landscapes.
