I’ve been holding out for it due to its likely performance/cost benefit. But given its apparent size, I am leaning towards a used Batis 40 instead. I know, essentially apples to oranges, but either fills my gap albeit differently.

Careful with this assumption. Everyone is in for a shock. If you find a good deal on a Batis, go for it.
I finished typing out the first draft of my review this morning. I think the best one word summation would be "excoriated".

The first one is very bright to my eyes jowul. Intentional? The second one is just bright, can be discussed, but not as the top image.

A few with the Z6III and the Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.8 II Z.
(Anybody know what I am doing wrong- the resolution when these are uploaded to FM is awful. They look out of focus).

Got some very interesting info about our upcoming [redacted lens]. It will be a much more agreeable price for a full month after release, so much so that it completely changes the value proposition IMO assuming you don't pay MSRP for it.

Can you comment on weight and size relative to say the Sony 35/1.4 GM?

What's that Matthew McConaughey quote about rookie numbers?
Ever used the 85 Pro?

So like, does it suck? "Excoriated" is pretty damning for a lens you keep posting pretty samples of lol. Or are there multiple lenses?

I can't really get into those details yet. The IQ is great, and I like that part of it the most. Note that I had been viewing the value of the lens through the MSRP, not the launch price which I just found out about today.

) Ok, I'm done till whatever date was in that IG post.

@ Jonas B, I looked at the first photo once more and came to the realization that it was much brighter than the second image. You were right Jonas and I brought the first image up to about the same brightness of the second images.
Thanks for pointing out my error. here is my correction.

Like this shot. Wondering if in the same place with a bluer sky time of day, what it would look like with a 28mm and cropped in the direction of 16 x 9.
