Sony Viltrox 28/4.5 Pancake with AF

[Brownie]

Anyone interested in this lens? IQ looks acceptable for what it is. It'd be a nice compact lens on a C or APS-C. Aperture is fixed. Built in lens cap. Supposed to be just south of $100 US. Might be a fun lens, I've never had a pancake.

Got my fingers crossed that it's a good 'un and that maximum F4.5 aperture makes me optimistic. I'm following this as it's a lens which will probably end up being available for Nikon Z.

Already have plenty of 28mm, for all my systems. Like the idea of the pancake, but I think I’ll pass on this one.

I own one 28mm prime, an old JC Penny lens in Minolta MD. It's the size of this I find interesting. It isn't going to mean much on my full-size bodies, but it'd be a fun 42mm on my A6000. Still haven't decided, I'm curbing my gear spending some, trying to hold off for something I really need in one of the rumored lenses.

Well, the deals went early! There were only 50 available at 30% off, then more at 15%, and now there are a bout 900 at 10% off. Not worth it, I'll wait and see man on the street shots first.

My obsessive compulsiveness won't allow non Sony lenses into my kit. It's a pity because there is some good stuff to be had..!

Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but pairing it with my A7C sounds awfully tempting...

Still think the 24, 40 and 50mm Sony G lenses are exceptional. Might take my 40mm out this weekend actually. 🌞
