6 Conclusion (English)

The Viltrox 14mm F4 (199$ / 229 euros) is a little gem : excellent sharpness globally (very good corners) , very light, compact, cheap, very good color rendition , super short min focusing distance, good resistance to flare, low CA, low distortion, very low coma, very good AF, accepting standard filers

Only minor points are the ergonomics reduced to the minimum , the sunstars that could be better defined, the background blur that is quite busy

I personally own the Sony 14mm F1.8 GM, but I don’t always take it with me with the Sony 20-70mm F4 for day to day due to the size, with this Viltrox 14mm F4 , I won’t hesitate to take it with me so I will keep it for day to day use , an only use the GM for 14mm focused work

Highly recommended

6 Conclusion (Français)

Le Viltrox 14mm F4 (199$ / 229 euros) est une perle rare : excellent piqué globalement et très bon dans les coins, compact et léger, bon marché, très bon rendu des couleurs, très courte distance min de mise au point , faible distortion , faible AC , bonne resistance au flare, très bon AF , très faible coma, compatible avec des filtres standards

Les seuls points mineurs d’améliorations sont : l’ergonomie simpliste, les effets d’étoiles qui pourraient être mieux définis , le flou d’arrière plan assez nerveux

Je possède le Sony 14mm F1.8 GM, mais je ne leprends pas souvent en complement de mon Sony 20-70mm F4 vu sa taille. Avec le Viltrox 14mm F4, pas d’hésitation, il tient dans un recoin du sac à dos. Donc je garder le Viltrox 14mm F4 pour tous les jours et ne sortir le GM que dans des cas précis où je dois l’utiliser principalement

Hautement recommandé

    Encore une fois merci pour vos tests et conseils. Ayant déjà acquis le 20-70 (dont je suis très content), je vais plus que probablement constituer, comme vous, le même combo avec ce 14mm dès qu’il sera disponible. … Cela méritait bien le petit café 😉

    ATTENTION : le lien fourni point vers le Viltrox 9mm f2.8, pas le 14mm f1.4

    Merci pour le test, commandé dès le 19 Septembre pour compléter le Sony 20-70 également, car je n’emporte quasiment plus jamais mon Sony 16-35 F4 PZ depuis que j’ai le 20-70 (et c’était pourtant une de mes optiques préférées…)

    Bonsoir Marc,
    Superbe review, ça semble prometteur ! Que recommanderais-tu entre ce 14mm et le nouveau 12mm de Laowa ? C’est essentiellement pour de l’architecture, notamment dans de petits appartements.

        Je viens de le recevoir. Très léger, excellent rapport qualité/prix mais je suis très surpris, l’angle de vue semble à peine plus large que le Sony 16-25mm 2.8G. Je m’attendais à une différence un peu plus forte. Ou alors le 16-25 est déjà plus large qu’un 16mm.

      Bonjour Benji
      Je viens de comparer les angles de vue du Viltrox 14mm et du Sony 14mm : différence négligeable entre les deux (avec ou sans compensation de la distorsion dans les réglages de l’appareil)… et angle de vue bien plus large que sur le Viltrox 16mm et le Sony 16-35GM @16mm… donc on a bien un 14mm 🙂
      Je ne dispose pas du Sony 16-25mm mais, comme sa distorsion à 16mm est très importante, il est possible que, sans correction, il soit plus proche de 14/15mm et qu’il ne soit vraiment à 16mm qu’avec compensation de la distorsion.

    Merci pour ce test… J’ai commandé en utilisant le lien fourni… petite précision non indiquée par Marc : réduction de 10€ en utilisant ce lien… “y’a pas de petites économies” comme disait ma chère grand mère 😉

    Reçu. 14mm quand on l’utilise pour la première, wahou, par rapport au 16-35, ça change;-).
    Par contre le pare soleil est extrêmement dur à visser et dévisser, vraiment pas agréable du tout et force inutilement sur l’objectif et la monture.
    C’est uniquement le mien ?

      Bonjour Pierre.
      Sur ma copie, le pare-soleil est parfait : pas dur à visser/dévisser tout en tenant parfaitement en place.
