Off center: Camera lenses

I tried two Revains and one direct from Viltrox. Everything is so badly decentered that it affects real world images. That's enough for me.

Pros
  • 23MM F1.4 AF LENS FOR SONY
Cons
  • Hard to say

Great 35mm for full frame.

Amazing lens for Sony after firmware update

Takes very clear pictures, auto focus works after latest firmware from viltrox website. I took a low light f2.2 ISO100 picture on my old Sony a5000. The aperture ring doesn't bother me at all, in fact I love it since I've been using full manual lenses.

Pros
  • 11 ITEMS IN 10 GROUPS
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

EDIT: Having an aperture ring is nice, but not being able to lock it is very annoying. It's not uncommon for me to accidentally rotate my ring from "A" mode to

Fast focus and clear photos.

I was looking for a 35mm lens for my Sony a6100. I have a Sony 35mm f1.8 but with the crop sensor it's almost 50mm. Sony, Tamron, Sigma and Rokinon have nothing under $400. Thanks to Viltrox I have it now. Viltrox AF 23mm F1.4 STM lens. On my a6100 I find it really fun to use. Fast focus and eye tracking work flawlessly. A nice bokeh is achieved at f/1.4 (at Crop it's close to f/2.0). This will be my new lens for street photography. The only downside so far is that it is not weatherproof. Not…
