Viltrox AF 13mm F1.4 XF

I took this out for a night shoot and was shocked by how little distortion there is at 13mm—the anti-fouling coating also handled foggy weather way better than I expected. It’s sharp wide open at f/1.4, so indoor shots with no flash look clean.

The autofocus is impressively quiet and smooth, locking onto subjects even in low light without any hunting. Tack-sharp from corner to corner at f/1.4, which surprised me for such a wide lens. The smooth aperture ring makes video work feel much more polished than I expected.

The manual aperture ring clicks into place with satisfying precision, and the STM autofocus is dead silent during video recording. It's become my go-to for tight interior shots where I need everything in focus.
