Great video!
Obviously, the F1.8 aperture is the reason why this lens is so big for what it is! scientifically I don’t know how they could get this lens much smaller? I’m pretty sure the newly announced Sigma 15 F1.4 is even bigger!

[@robertgarica]

Thank you @letthelightintv. I saw the reply to my comment in the other video. That's interesting. Would you say the Viltrox 16mm F1.8 has a sharper/cleaner image than the Viltrox 13mm F1.4 even in low light? Would it work on an apsc camera like the zv-e10 ?

[@letthelightintv]

Yes it will work on the zv-e10.
Overall I found the 16mm to be very good optically. If you want an in depth break down for clarity and corner to corner sharpness check out Dustin Abbotts review of both lenses.
