Viltrox 56mm f1.7 Lens for Sony E-Mount Reviewed with ZV-E10
The Viltrox 56mm 1.7 is a budget, cheap, portrait lens for Sony APSC Cameras like the zve10, holy crap this one is it. It's fast, it's got great subject separation, it works for making TH-cam videos just as well as taking pictures. I can't believe how little this thing costs for how well it works. These photos literally stack up against my $1000+ lenses!

    Great video man! Quick question though and you'll be the only one addressing it on YT. The best audio I can get on my ZV-E10 is 48k x 16bit and that's through the mic jack regardless if it's from the built in microphones, an external mic or an outboard sound source set to 24bit sending sound to the mic port. 16bit it seems is what the Sony's pre-amp limits recording to. Please let us know if recording digitally using the multi shoe with these bumps this up to 24 bit ok? I might have to plunk down on the single unit version of this going to get me 24 bit recording.
