How do you like the Viltrox?
Thanks so much

I have been raving about how awesome the Viltrox 16mm f1.8mm is. It's my best WA lens. It's sharp, it works great. But the #1 reason I love that lens, is that it as a display on the lens itself, that shows your focus distance. With the advent of Mirrorless cameras and focusing by wire, the one thing we lost that has been so valuable to us as photographers, was the focus distance scale.
Especially for me with photographing at night. With my DSLR cameras, for years I knew exactly where to turn my lens to on the Focus Scale to have everything in focus, the ground and the sky. I didn't even have to check a photo to know it would be in focus since I had tested it. I lost that feature going to mirrorless, it made my life a real pain in the butt, since I would have to focus and check and focus and double check every night I used my Z8, Z6II. What a pain..... But with the Viltrox 16mm f1.8, I can turn the Focus Ring to where the distance tells me it's focused at 19.9 feet, and everything in my image will be in focus. I don't have to double check. It makes it awesome since I like to start my timelapses during the sunset before any stars are even visible. If you don't know what the focus distance is on the lens, you can't prefocus on something you can't see. In this case, the stars. But with the Viltrox you can.
So yes, I have 2 lenses that you can't pry from my hands. The first is the Nikon 24-200mm, the 2nd is the Viltrox 16mm f1.8.
