Review - Viltrox AF 28mm f/4.5 "Chip"


Thought some of you might be interested in my review of this strange little $99 Viltrox lens:

https://www.scotttuckerphoto.com/blog/review-viltrox-af-28mm-f45-chip-for-nikon-z

I reviewed it exclusively on the Zf, though I found it worked better on the Z9 (details in the review with my hypothesis on why)...overall, the IQ is nothing to write home about, though it does make for a unique shooting experience having a fixed aperture...one less thing to keep track of while in the field.

I found it roughly akin to shooting those little "disposable" type lenses, though the image quality here is still better. Best for walkarounds where the output is purely for socials and sharing with friends.

Crossposting to the Sony side too since it's also available for E and all of the build quality/usability observations will be equally applicable.
