Viltrox recently announced a new for Sony 23mm f/1.4 STM Lens which is a crazy fast wide angle prime for the APS-C E-mount cameras and it’s going for only $299 US!! When compared to the Sony FE 24mm f/1.8 ZA Lens which goes for $1098 US.
Now the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 II Lens which is designed for the full frame e-mount cameras and I recently reviewed, is pretty darn good for the money, but not the same quality of the Sony Lenses as far as build and design are concerned. However, for the money it is still a very good option depending on your budget and needs…
This new for Sony Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 lens looks to be a completely different design and appears to be fairly compact as well. I certainly would not mind reviewing it if anybody is interested?? Let me know in the comments below!
