I think the Viltrox 25mm f/1.7 is a great budget lens. I compared it with the Sigma 30mm f/1.4, and I’ve got to say—optically, it’s just as sharp, if not sharper, than the Sigma. While it’s not as solid in terms of build quality, it doesn’t feel cheap either. Its lightweight design actually makes it a great travel lens. It would be nice if it had some weather sealing, but for the price, I can’t be too picky.There is some noticeable vignetting from around f/1.7 through f/2.8, but it’s easily fixable in post. One thing I’ve really appreciated is how well it focuses on subjects—eye tracking works reliably, at least on the Sony A6700.Another big plus: when shooting video, there’s very little focus breathing. In fact, it performs better than the Sigma 30mm in this regard, which shows more visible breathing. It does exhibit a bit of focus pulsing, but that disappears if you set the in-camera AF Transition Speed to 3. Anything higher than that, and you might notice it pulsing—briefly shifting focus away before locking back onto the subject.On a crop sensor like the A6700, the 25mm gives you a full-frame equivalent of about 37.5mm (often rounded to 37mm in EXIF data). When shooting video and with Active SteadyShot enabled, the crop increases slightly—bringing the effective focal length to around 41–42mm. When shooting in 4K 120p, the crop tightens even more, giving an equivalent of roughly 46–48mm, depending on your settings.Overall, this is a solid budget-friendly lens that performs really well for both photography and video.

Very happy with this purchase! Well made lens with all metal shell; that includes the lens hood. Low light performance is excellent and that makes this a very good buy at this price point.
