Viltrox AF 28mm f/4.5

Pros: Compactness

Cons: Fixed aperture, poor sharpness, camera problems

Opinion: Bought to "try" it attracted by its compactness, it actually makes my XT-30 pocket-sized but the compromises you have to make to use it are many. I took very similar photos with this lens and with the 35 (also by viltrox) and the comparison was merciless. Added to this is that the camera froze twice in a few minutes with the 28 mounted forcing me to extract the battery and lose all the film simulation presets I had saved. I tried to connect it to the PC to update the firmware and the USB port was obviously damaged since the PC did not recognize the device (but this will be a problem of the specific lens taken second-hand). In short, I'm returning it and will save for the fuji 27mm 2.8 as a pancake.
