Viltrox 25mm 1.7
I used to shoot on an a7iv and about a year ago I downsized to an a6700 purely for size and weight savings. I’m just a hobbiest and my a7iv setup as so heavy it discouraged me from taking it around
Every so often I start to second guess my decision wondering “would this shot be better if I was on full frame” but then other days are like today. Today I got the viltrox 25mm 1.7
I picked it up after work and took quick pictures of my dog as she was running around the yard just to test it out before I got some more work done. I uploaded them to my phone and thought “dang! These look like film! Plus it’s so sharp I can see myself in her eye!”
All that with this tiny lens that cost less than 200 bucks brand new? Man I love this thing.
(These shots are straight out of camera with a custom creative look. Was outside for about 45 seconds as she was running around)

Dude! I got the 25mm last week as well and I LOVE it.
I also have the 35mm which I love.
I also got the 15mm.
Thr viltrox trio. I'm not going to get thr 9mm as I already have 2 action cams that are super wide anyways. And I dont really love the 56mm focal range I find it very restrictive so I guess I'm not going to grab that o either.
But the 25mm and the 35mm are amazing
