Depending on when you’re reading this, I’m legally blind. In fact, for 14 years, I’ve been so. That means that the Editor in Chief of one of the largest online photography-magazines doesn’t have perfect vision. It’s why I’ve always said that we can’t remove the human experience from photography and why this site was founded to get camera testing out of the labs. No bride wants to see her pores in your photos. But most importantly, our images don’t need to be so incredibly alike. With that in mind, I didn’t have many expectations from the Viltrox 28mm f4.5 lens. But this little thing doesn’t just have character — it has a soul that’s been majorly missing from the optics of so many Japanese lens manufacturers. Like the Contax 35mm f2 lens, it has characteristics that let me make images the way that I see them.
