And of course, SAR just posted: https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/announced-and-available-for-preorder-new-viltrox-26mm-f-2-8-fe-pancake-lens/
IMO, seems to be an interesting release but on the expensive side.

It's an instant winner, isn't it? A lot to like but what struck me was the fine colour discrimination and CA handling - very impressive indeed, a fine walk around lens.
130 grams (BH says 170 grams in Z), MFD 0.2m, 43mm filters. Two asph (more or less necessary), one HRI (good) and NO ED (wonderful). Not bad bokeh courtesy of the short MFD. Viltrox offers 10% off at their site:

But the auto focus seems to be very slow ... that is the only negative I can find...
