I own a Sony a7cr and looking for a wide angle prime lens for my travel. I do not want to lug my Sony FE 24-70mm GM II around, carry it for a while it is heavy. I own a Sony FE 40mm f/2.5 G & Viltrox AF 55mm f/1.8 evo.
What do you all recommend? Sony FE 24mm f/2.8 G or Viltrox AF 26mm f/2.8 evo. Please explain.
Seriously, Thank you viltrox for this amazing lens

Was browsing Aliexpress for the 35mm F1.8 EVO lens and come across some sellers selling the lens for just under $400 CDN. Are these sellers legit? Feels too good to be true but wanted to ask here.

I almost didn't go for a drive tonight. I almost didn't bring my camera. I'm glad I didn't almost anything because as I was driving around looking for subjects, I spotted this beautiful Dino parked outside gas monkey icehouse and had to stop to take some shots. Sorry if they're repetitive. I didn't know how much time I had and couldn't move it.
It's not unheard of for amazing cars to be parked outside this place if you know it and the owner, Richard. It was unheard of for that to be there alone, during golden hour and nobody else around it. After 5 mins a couple came out and the guy started touching the rear quarter like he saw a scratch. I assumed he was the owner but turns out he was the painter! He was out to dinner with the owner and some friends so I was able to talk cars for a bit while getting these shots. Gave him my card so hopefully he calls me for a real shoot.
With a heat waves hitting most of the Europe, mountains have been my go to place to escape the heat. Viltrox 14mm has been a great for capturing the views when I don't want to bring the heavy telephoto lens with me. Hope you enjoy these shots.

My battery is no longer charging via USB-C. When I bought it, it worked fine, but after a few days it simply stopped charging. It just stays on the red light for hours and doesn't charge. Does anyone know how or if I can fix this?
I have a A7R III and have been using it with both a Viltrox Lab 35mm f1.2 and a Viltrox Lab 135mm f1.8. This is the first time I see this kind of vignetting, the bokeh on some other photos shot at a wider aperture also seem a bit off. I took those pictures during a hike, I switched lenses a couple of times but never noticed anything out of the ordinary while shooting. I have not been able to recreate the issue ever since and other photos with the same settings and framing seem ok.
Edit 1: Most of the affected images are portraits, with some of the 135mm shots having the whole left side clearly darker than the rest of the image.
Edit 2: It seems to be a know issue with the EFCS, here is a link to a forum with a guy who seems to be having the same issue as me: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/threads/a7riv-linear-vignette-issue.4523565/
Hard to believe I paid 100 euro for this lens.
When I received this cake in March, I realized it has just one F stop. By end of summer I decided to snap some with it.
Shot on an A7V mounted to a tripod with the Viltrox 26mm f2.8 EVO.
Single exposure of 25s, 26mm at f2.8, 5000 ISO.
Edited in Adobe Lightroom Classic, bumped up saturation for the oranges/yellows and increased contrast overall.
Really open to feedback, please be critical! My second time with the goal of getting an astro shot, friends wanted to try and see the Perseids so I tagged along. I definitely want to try stacking, as well as deeper sky, although my longest lens is the 70-200gmii. Hope you guys enjoy, definitely an amateur so advice is appreciated ;)
After what felt like a whole summer, the skies finally cleared during recent night with no moon. Plan was to escape the city glow and shoot a Milkyway panorama in which I partially succeeded as light pollution from the city still took over the centre of the frame.

*Yes, I know that Viltrox 27mm f1.2 is an APS-C lens, I'm in the process of selling it and getting an FF equivalent. Recommendations are welcomed.

I love that I can see clearly the Milky Way in the middle of the star trail 🔥
