Thoughts on the new Viltrox 55 1.8 versus the Sony 50 1.4 for portraits and travel
Anyone have the opportunity to compare these two for portraits and travel? The Viltrox is obviously smaller and lighter but doesn't have 1.4. I suspect the Sony is definitely an advantage in fast moving situations but for this use case probably is immaterial. They both seem to be sharp from the reviews and comments. I strongly prefer having an external f stop dial so that rules out the Viltrox 50 2.0 for this discussion.
Any thoughts?
