Viltrox AF 9mm F2.8 Air APS-C Lens for Sony E-Mount

Great Lens

The autofocus on such a wide lens is incredible. I’ll be using this lens for traveling walk and talk footage. I’ll definitely be looking at other viltrox lenses for traveling. They are lightweight and yet sharp and clean.

Viltrox AF 9mm F2.8 Air APS-C Lens for Sony E-Mount

As wide as it gets

At first I was a little dismayed at the f/2.8 given the rest of the AIR series is generally more open and both SONY and Yongnuo have a competing lens at 11mm that are much more open, though a little less wide. But my gosh is the 9mm's perrforrmance at this size impressive even at f/2.8. Not great for darker places, and the camera can have difficulties focusing on far objects (since they are now so small with regards to the entire image), the focusing motor is definitely something you can feel (and might be picked up by a camera mic, though haven't personally tested that), but beyond that impressive sharpness, when things are in focus they are really in focus, distortions are so well handled it almost feelis like a Sigma lens, but lighter. Minimum focusing distance makes for wild photos, making even little cupcakes seem absolutely giant. It is definitely a beautiful addition to the AIR series of lenses, can't wait to see what Viltrox cooks up next.
