p.2 #1 · Viltrox 26mm f2.8 EVO for Z and E - first look
I currently don't need a 26/2.8 (and don't have a small body where it would work well) but it looks like a nice enough lens and IQ looks reasonable. More than the lens, I think you have a nice set of images with this and it looks like a nice lens to toss on and go shooting with.

Better optics than the NIKKOR 26mm f/2.8 ?
Sorry, no way...
I can't personally say unless I put them head to head, but from all I've read and seen about the Nikon, the Viltrox is sharper farther from center, has less CA, and has a more pleasing midrange bokeh when specular highlights abound.

I am definitely interested in it as the 39mm equiv lens. Considering all the similar-ish Chinese lens I've tried(TTA 23 f1.4 MF, TTA 27 f2.8 AF, 7A 25 f1.8 MF), the one that actually liked was the cheapest 7A model, because I think it renders in a interesting hue and sharp enough in center without weird bokeh or super noticeable curved field of focus. The value of the 25mm was hard to beat but MF is kind of a PITA with A5100 and this looks to actually be smaller than that 25mm so definitely worth thinking about.
