Viltrox 40mm F/2.5 - Amazon - Z Mount

The Viltrox 40mm f/2.5 is the sharpness winner in my side-by-side shots—portraits and landscapes both came out a smidge cleaner, especially wide open. It’s also a bit more convenient for firmware updates since the USB-C port is right on the back of the lens, not the rear cap.

Pros

+Slightly sharper than the TTArtisan across the frame in my tests
+A bit less distortion than the TTArtisan
+USB-C port on the lens (more convenient for updates)
+Can focus a bit closer than the TTArtisan

Cons

-f/2.5 lets in less light than f/2
-Plastic build compared to the TTArtisan’s metal build
-No aperture ring
-No weather sealing
