Look, I love pancake lenses, but I’ll pass on this one.
If you have the budget, then I still recommend the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR, which has an aperture ring, is weather sealed, faster aperture, better ergonomics, still extremely compact, optically fantastic and capable of resolving 40MP… and the list of loves for this lens could actually go on forever.
Sure, it costs about $300 more than the Viltrox AF 28mm f/4.5, but it’s worth every penny if you ask me.
The problem? Good luck finding on in stock.
At BHphoto it’s out of stock, on Amazon you can find some second hand units (often overpriced), Adorama says they should have stock end of February, it’s on backorder at Moment and good luck finding it anywhere else.
And all of this a humble 4 year after announcement ;).
