Just purchased a Viltrox 40mm F2.5 to be used as a travel lens paired with my Sony a7CR. A first test shot of plum blossoms from my backyard.

Something went wrong with the image editing. Take a look at the branch and its sub-branch to the right of the flower, as well as the branch at the bottom of the image.

Looks like the lightroom "blur" tool. Looks like that every time I've tried it.

Easy fix. LR needs improvement on separating layers. Take the right side of the box and drag it to there right slowly and watch the branches come into focus. Adjust to where the furthest BG is blurred. Toggle the BG blur on and off to view your results until it looks right! Need more help PM me

Check out the extreme corner in the 100% screenshot, 2nd image, shot wide open at f/4 - no way I expected it to be this good for $159! Lightly processed and sharpened in Lightroom, shot on Z8.

From beautiful baked and sunstars to questionable light and bokeh, 14mm.

Hey Ross! I noticed that was shot at F16 and have a question.

With the 14mm specifically at F16, does your lens/body take about half a second or so after pressing the shutter button, to capture the photo? It only happens when I'm stopped down beyond F4. At F4, the shutter is instant, but F8 for example, I press the shutter and nothing happens for like 1/2 or 1/4 of a second. Happens on both my A1 and A7RV. Images come out fine.

Press shutter, nothing happens for 1/2 second, then camera captures image.

Thanks, and great shot.

Thanks! I like how the sunstar turned out at f/16. I�m using the 14mm on a Z8 and there is no shutter release delay at any aperture.

I have tried Viltrox 14/4 on A7V and A7RIII and see no difference in shutter lag between F4 and F16.

Edit: maybe check Aperture drive in AF settings?
