Still not impressed by the 33/1.4 samples. I'm keeping the XF35/1.4, that's it.
Also - my enthusiasm regarding Viltrox is starting to cool-off. Several reasons:
* They rushed to update the 85/1.8, so I feel a little screwed having acquired this lens recently
* AF on both the 85/1.8 and Viltrox EF-FX1 adapter is far from great. I have bough also the Fringer counterpart, which is faster and generally works better.
* Viltrox's site is bad - no certificate in 2020 means zero security downloading firmware and stuff from there, if you manage to open it at all!
But at this price, the lens will sell, so I doubt they would care about my opinion anyway.
