Very nice image Kim. I do notice some dust or oil spots on the image, looks like a sensor cleaning is due.
Thanks Luc. You are probably right about the need of cleaning the sensor.

Got my early-bird offer on the new AF Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 native Z(DX)-mount lens today. I must say the lens surpasses all my expectations, this is really really good, for the rather low price (kickstarter price just a tad above $200, with free shipping included), it must be unbeatable.

On my return from today's visit to my GP, I shot this snap of the Communist Resistance WW2 monument situated down town Oslo. Not only is the lens razor sharp with great colours, it has very low geometric distortion as well, just a vestige of moustache distortion at the very edges. Chromatic nasties seem pretty much gone too, at least when the lens is stopped a bit down.  If my time schedule permits, I'll do a more in-depth test but at present Birna is happy with her new toy for the Z fc.

Actually it does look good, prices have gone up for the viltrox 13 to around 400 and some offerings are over 500 in euros.
I wonder how it compares to the nikkor z 20mm f/1.8s on ff. Looking forward to you further findings, thanks.
