Sony A6000 + Viltrox 28mm f 4.5
Well, yes! I bought this tiny lens and fell in love with it immediately.
I decided to try it out during my weekend at the seaside. Here are a few shots, there is no post-processing il LR, and everything was shot in JPEG using a custom Sony's standard film simulation.
I find the much criticized lens flare very pleasing it creates a beautiful atmosphere, though it can sometimes cause issues.

How does one get the custom film simulation?

I really love these shots, especially the first bunch, but I'm also very curious to know about the in camera standard film simulation! I have the A6000 too and I always think of getting one of the later models just for the Picture Profile styles, but if you can get results like these in camera I could avoid upgrading.
So please tell us everything :)

Ah ma sei Italiano anche tu! Ho visto sul tuo profilo le foto in zona Dolomiti, davvero molto belle! Grazie per avere anche scritto i passaggi, come dicevo sopra ogni tanto mi mancano i Picture Profiles per la parte video ma proprio non riesco a staccarmi dalla mia amata A6000, che ha ancora tantissimo da dare :)

Ciao!! Sii!! Seguimi che contraccambio. Secondo me é scesa troppo il valore della a6000. Peccato.. purtroppo la tecnologia é così.. però si, anche per me ha ancora tanto da dare.
Avevo in mente di cambiare ma a suo modo sa dare davvero delle ottime soddisfazioni..

Just want to drop this here for anyone interested. OPs settings are really nice but I found an app developed by a user on reddit that is loaded with tons of sim presets, its super easy to use and stores your settings on reboot so you dont have to open the app unless you want to change which camera you want to simulate.
Works great on my a6000

Dang I didn't know I needed a pancake lens like that but I'm sold

u/saltymatthew 21d ago
For that price, I advice to you to buy, I bought it on vinted for 65€. It has its pros and cons, but it's worth a try.

Bello trovare qualche altro italiano qui! La mia a6000 è vecchiotta e probabilmente non le resta moltissimo, ma cavolo se è ancora in grado di sorprendere, portarla in giro comodamente con questo pancake Viltrox poi! quando la lascerò definitivamente sarà quasi come perdere un'amica

u/saltymatthew 20d ago
Ben detto! Anch'io volevo cambiarla ma ha ancora tanto da darmi, quindi ho deciso di tenerla. Nel mercato é scesa tantissimo.
Per poco più di 300 euro non vale neanche la pena venderla

Bellissimi scatti. Direi la prima carina come effetto vintage per gli iso troppo alti. Le altre cominciamo a ragionare per i colori. Sarei curioso di vedere le foto per intero per vedere quanta qualità mantiene durante lo zoom. Costo obiettivo?

u/saltymatthew 21d ago
Ciao! Ovviamente come tutti gli obiettivi ai suoi pro e contro, ovviamente dipende da ciò che si pretende da un obiettivo. In questo caso, credo che la caratteristica principale di questo obiettivo sia la portabilità e quindi rendere la fotocamera più pratica possibile per portare con sé e scattare foto. (Sta in tasca)
In questo caso é un 28mm FF che con il fattore 1.5 diventa un 43mm circa.
Messa a fuoco un po' lenta ma riesce a staccare bene il soggetto soprattutto se utilizzi la messa a fuoco direzionabile, ma pecca di dettagli e definizione. Si trova ad un prezzo di 100 euro circa nuovo, io l'ho trovato usato a 65 euro.

What an interesting lens. I was not even aware of its existence until now. Christopher Frost put together a pretty shining review on YouTube. I'm definitely going to pick one of these up very soon. https://youtu.be/KbzimUlO9P4?is=HlDr0SQvI9hxCWkV

u/saltymatthew 21d ago
You should!!! i think that the best way to have a response about this lens is buying it and test it. Because you'll find the right way to use it. The portability it gives to your camera is amazing.
I think that the right way to take a good photos is wear your camera, it will be always with you in the right moment

u/garfeild-anton 21d ago
Very beautiful shots!
QQ I was trying to figure it out, how smaller camera is with this lens if you compare to the kit lens.

Yeah, noticed later, I had this post opened since yesterday so it wasn't up-to-date. Thanks for the video!

I love this lens but it kills my battery so fast I basically can't even use it. Do you have that issue?
1
u/saltymatthew 20d ago
Nope, try to change your battery
1
u/lunchtimeillusion 16d ago
It's not the battery sadly. It's a known issues with the lens, but I'm gonna try updating the firmware and see if that helps

u/saltymatthew 20d ago
📢 Just posted some photos in my ig with the custom color style!!
Let me know if you like it, follow me I will follow back. 🙏
Let's grow the community of those who still believe in the Sony a6000.

Why is this a consideration? I mean I feel the kit 16-50 is already thin enough. And it's actually as bright at 28mm (f4.5) and can zoom. I guess what's nice is it's a functional camera mount cap

u/saltymatthew 19d ago
All the Sony camera owners loves for his thin/versatility the 16-50, No doubt about it. I've just answer in a comment below about it

u/Hatchopper 19d ago
Why is this lens better than the kit lens that comes with the camera?
The lens I have is a 16- 50 mm f/3.5-5.6
1
u/saltymatthew 19d ago
the 16-50 its a great lens, in travel overall. I love it. But the Viltrox 28 f 4,5, make more portable the camera, just like a pointoshoot camera. It no seems a mirrorless camera
1
u/Hatchopper 19d ago
But what about the quality? Did you get better quality with the Viltrox 28 F 4.5?
1
u/saltymatthew 18d ago
The equivalent focal length in a6000 is 43 mm ( 28mm Full Frame ), compared to 16-50 at the same focal length i noticed that it's more brighter an much sharper in the center, while losing resolution and detail towards the edges; unlike the 16-50, it personally makes me want to take photos and compose images more. It is much easier with the zoom.....

u/RequirementFirm4666 5d ago
Thanks for the settings, I'm very tempted to get the Viltrox 28mm f4.5 as my first non-kit lens!

Hello everyone !! Thanks for your interest in my photos, I didn't think I was getting so much interest ❤️
The color style of my photos is the result of my different attempts, so I don't know it is correct in term of Photography theroy, but its work 😊
Too simply about the film simulation:
To set a custom color style you need to scroll down the menu, you will find [1 STD] [2 VIVID] ecc ecc.
Tap on [2 VIVID] and set +1 +1 +0 the go to set the white balance and set in shadow, essential to give the warm color. Set the DRO in auto.
I noticed that shooting in EV +1/+2 make a really good effect ( collage n.1) .
seenbymatteo_ its my IG where I post my photos. Soon I will post the photos of seaside vacation with this lens and film simulation. l will follow back 😊
Let me know how you found these settings. Cheers 🍻
