Where's my burger? - a photo on Flickriver

Where's my burger?

            Galway

This is the first time I've used the Viltrox 28mm, f/4.5 pancake on my A7. I'm not a big user of 28mm lenses on FF cameras, preferring a narrower angle of view most of the time. However, I figured I would try it out and see what I got since the lens is marketed as a FF lens and not APS-C as I have been using it since day one.

This is a weird little lens. My particular 28mm, f/4.5 lens is stuck in firmware 1.01 because Viltrox's update app doesn't want to recognize the lens. I've tried it half a dozen different ways and there's been no success. Currently, Viltrox is on firmware version 1.06 for this lens. I suspect that some - but not all - of the weirdness I have encountered with it will be remedied when I finally succeed in updating the firmware.

The jury is definitely out on this one. I'm experiencing way too many oddities electronically and optically to feel comfortable trusting this lens even though I have some great pics from it. (I have a lot of them that are not so great and It's not me that was the problem!)
