This is wide open at 1.7 on the Nikon Z50; looks like a pretty decent separation between the subject and the background shooting wide open at f/1.7, and that's why you get a fast lens, either for low light or for separation, and this lens can do both.
I really was not expecting this little $99 lens to be sharp, but it turns out it is, and it's light as a feather and very discreet, so check it out if you're interested in an inexpensive pancake lens for your Sony and possibly Nikon mirrorless camera.
If it didn't say Viltrox on the side of it, I would think I was shooting—other than the metal construction—I would think I was shooting with a Nikon lens because it has perfect optical performance as best I could tell.
Great lens, great, great lens. I recommend you get one, especially now because they're so inexpensive and it works so well with the FTZ adapter.
