Not bad, but inferior to Viltrox 13mm F1.4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens shines for it's compact form factor, portability, and native Sony auto focus. However, the Viltrox 13mm F1.4 is sharper, has superior bokek and shallower depth of field, almost as fast auto focus. The 13mm has less distortion, looks more natural than 11mm. Above all the Viltrox provides that superior picture and video quality at a lower price of around $360. It is a bigger and heavier lens with excellent all metal build quality, and feels more premium than the mostly plastic Sony 11mm. I returned the Sony after receiving fhe Viltrox and comparing them side by side. I also own the full frame Sony 20mm F1.8 G lens (w Sony A7 III, and the Viltrox (w Sony zv-e10 II) trades blows with it despite being a much cheaper APSC lens on a much cheaper APSC camera.
