Pros:Sharp in the center, light, not bulky, beautiful star lights, possibility to update it via usb, lens correction profile just added in the last raw camera, minimum focusing distance and last but not least the cost in relation to the quality.
Cons:The edges are the Achilles' heel. Some slight indecision on the A.F. but maybe it depends on my Sony r1 and r2 cameras a bit old night
Opinion:The "softness", I call it blurred, fades a lot at the smallest apertures, 5.6/11 and, for landscape use, it is only noticeable by enlarging to 100 or 200% as, in a fussy way, I generally do. I compared it with the other 20mm of good class that I own (Tokina cost double double weight and larger size) same subject, aperture, camera etc etc and, I repeat, in the center for me they are even while at the edges the difference is noticeable at higher magnifications. Another quality I didn't expect is the macro to large objects (flowers). Took better macro shots, for the wide focus, than those taken with a macro lens and micro shoe. So, as a subjective "technical" grade I would say 8.5. But optics must also be compared for other factors, first of all cost and portability and in this grade 10. Average 9.2 I recommend it. Yes of course, it won't be the lens that can no longer be removed from the camera but not having it in your bag would be a shame
Cons:Maybe none... The barrel is made of plastic...
Opinion:Small, light and also very cute. But above all Z !! An optic that I have been waiting for a long time, to put in my backpack for incredible excursions. It works very well, Af ready and without indecision, very quiet. And then it's also sharp in the center a lot even at full aperture, while at the edges it improves from F4 onwards, but it doesn't matter to me yes because it's better than the Nikon AF-D 20mm 2.8 that I loved so much... Asssenza di Flare , Ca even against the sun I don't see it ( but have you tested it well ?) But at that figure... everything is allowed, and Viltrox really did give us a small miracle. Good!!!! I don't know how it goes on other sensors, yes because actually some lenses go badly with some sensors, but on my Z8 it's really fine, but also on ZF and Z6II. S O R P R E N D E N T E !
Opinion:Like everyone else, I read reviews, including votes, and when I saw the rating that was given to this lens (8.3) I thought it was practically a glass with a cap. And I thought very badly. I certainly don't want to say that it's the ultimate lens, but in the evaluations you should consider everything, not just the benchmarks because it seems pretty clear that a lens over a thousand euros (e.g. the 20 Nikon) will probably be better than this one that costs 180. However, for a possible amount, you put in your bag a light, small, very well made glass with excellent performance. Seeing is believing. I read about flares and aberrations. Two problems that, if there were, don't exist for me, since I often go looking for flare and remove aberrations with a click. I strongly believe that in a Nikon Z kit (I have Z8 and Zf) it cannot be missing and can live happily and without any inferiority complex with lenses that cost more than ten times as much.
Opinion:The best advantage of this lens is its compactness, on the z5 it makes everything very portable. When combined with the 28 and 40, a very transportable layette is created. It can also be bought for less than 200 euros. Great job by viltrox. I'm hoping for a 65 f2 or a compact 90 style sigma dg dn line contemporany. The case supplied is better than the one that nikon gave me with the 105 mc ?
Pros:Compact, sharp and contrasty, low distortion, cost
Cons:Chromatic aberration
Opinion:Small and versatile lens for shooting points excellent for weddings or Street, I do not deny the perplexity about the distortion being a 20 mm, but I must say that all in all it is fine and it is much more controlled in this sense than the tamron, for what it costs and for the focal length that it is in my opinion offers a sulperior image quality to a smartphone and in addition stylistically speaking it is not that you can show up for wedding with the latest generation mobile phone to make a service
