I was thinking of compatibility 5-10 years in future. If I buy 85 EVO now, I might still have at after 10 years when Viltrox is selling EVO mk4 and Sony provides us with a new 5.1. firmware to A7VIII. Nothing against Viltrox, I might buy the 85 EVO, but the problems is there.

55mm is a fresh breeze compared to the 50s. If Viltrox goes really wild it will give us also a 28mm!


I really want Sony to do a G series 35, 50 and 85mm 1.8. I don’t know why they haven’t.

Viltrox offers a very nice 28/1.8 but they gave it a non-clickable aperture ring. Sadly, it can never be made clickable. Truly a bad design choice. I hope they make a clickable version one day.

Sony should have made a G series 28mm long ago.
