Welcome back, Steven. I missed your reviews and your humour. Cheers! //Rick

This is great. I just wish they'd put together an 18mm APSC version. On the smaller camera bodies, this would be so good. Literally entirely pocketable.

[@steve_heise]

That would be awesome! I’d totally use that on my ZV-E10.

GR3 gets competition!

Perfect timing. Always enjoy your videos.

[@HaraldEngels]

Interesting lens. Great review - like always. I missed these over the last months. Thanks for sharing.

[@streetlegends]

Fun fact. You can use the sony apsc 20mm f2.8 pancake lens on full frame. (use active stabilization to minimize vignette)

[@DynamicLearning4u]

I have got mixed feeling about this lens (I pre-ordered it). If I wanted to get F4.5 and fit into my pocket, I should have used my iPhone...

[@gurhangok9761]

Just to be sure, you are using a7c or a7c II ? There is a rumour that a7c is not compatible with the lens. Could you please enlighten me?

[@blehman2382]

I just picked up an a7, this rocks!

new upload. yaaaaay. :)

Color in the beginning of the video is very bad . I knew the Panasonic f 8 lens was a genius move. Many lens manufacturer's will follow. 2.8-22 is senseless when lens is only useful between 5.6 and 11. I wonder how it will perform on a5100.

[@steve_heise]

The beginning of the video was filmed in the rain after sunset. There was no light that day.

@@steve_heise first I thought it had to do with color grading in some kind of log

[@productguru8323]

This lens is bad news for Ricoh GR3! I think I could pair it with a Sony body and have a pocketable setup, yet more fun, with way better video capabilities.

[@steve_heise]

That’s what really surprised me. I joked about this lens and the A7C being pocketable, but then I tried it and it actually fit.

[@cbschrader]

Not bad news at all. I have a Sony a9iii and a Ricoh GRiii. Nothing beats the image quality and pocketability of the Ricoh!

[@productguru8323]

@@cbschrader I'd agree. Ricoh must have some great strenghts other than being truely pocketable.

Warning: The copy they sent me is not functional. Viltrox customer service is basically a bunch of internet trolls!

I'm not a die hard shallow depth of view fans. But f4.5 is just too small for my taste for 28mm

[@The_Hero_Is_Back]

Hey, Steven. Long time, no video. Hope you’ve been okay. Interesting news on that lens, but if it’s not Nikon F-mount, I’ve no interest. F-mount is short on pancakes. This would have been fun.

1 minute??

What’s one minute? Lol
