I recently was very much wanting a 28mm myself. Initially I thought a lot about the new Voigtlander 28mm 1.5, but just wasn't all that wowed by the images for some reason. Looks like a nice lens though.
Instead I checked out the Viltrox 28mm 1.8. The Philip Reeve site review was quite positive - it seems to be an improvement on the Sony. It's a bit bigger though. Still, for the price/performance, it's a ridiculously great value and so far I'm pleased with it.
Also, for some additional silliness I picked up the teeny tiny Viltrox 28mm 4.5 - It's a tiny pancake lens that only does 4.5, but it seems decent and turns my a7C II into a minimal stealthy point and shoot camera.
