    Hey Arthur, I recently purchased the Viltrox 20mm f2.8 for travel and general day to day photography. I’ve found the image and build quality to be excellent value for the money. Its compact size, light weight and focal length are an ideal and well balanced combination on my a6400.

    Personally I think if someone is looking for a budget wide, spending an additional $50 for the Tamron 20mm f/2.8 is a better buy. Used you can find them for $150. You get weather sealed construction, similar optical performance, a 67mm filter thread that matches most of Tamron’s lineup, and decent build quality. But honestly having the weather sealing alone is worth it.
    It’s cool to see these budget AF lenses coming out though!!

    Their 13 mm is truly amazing. But when my other Viltrox failed after only two months, the company ignored my pleas to recognize the warranty. Buyer beware.

      their "warranty" is just a gimmick. They probably don't accept most buyer warranty claim

      I’m very in doubt because the F1.8 costs 350€ and the F2.8 costs 100€ here in China… I was looking for a selfie lens, but the quality of the F2.8 seems so bad

    I picked up a used one a few days ago. It is sharp and compact. For less than $120, what's not lo love! I love what Viltrox is doing for the E-mount.

    agree and bought it first in Greece.For 2924 we re going to see third party companies like this and laowa ,samyang,meike etc to overcome tamron,sigma in every direction.last year we bought 13mm f1.4 and it is worked at all scenarios scored about 90% (ohoto,video,all seasons)and is by far the best lens for aps c sony.
