My recommendation, absolutely you should get one without even thinking.

I decided to sell the Viltrox and keep the 7artisans. The smaller size does matter to me. The hard stop clicked aperture is more convenient. Sharpness is enough and out of focus works well for my needs.
So really, Viltrox is making serious moves because the only thing budget about this lens is its price. Everything else is premium.
Well, for the $550, I think it's definitely worth it with all the bells and whistles it has.
My big hope is that things like autofocus can be improved with a firmware update. If you're very casual shooter, it's a good lens for a good price. If you're more demanding and even need to do professional work, honestly, I think you should pass.
But from all the 85 mm lenses and the Sony 85 1.8 that I have, I'm definitely selling that and I'm keeping this one, and that's going to be my new favorite lens because of the sharpness… [...]
[I]s this lens worth its price? I would say - totally. I know there are many similar lenses to this one, but I doubt you will find more bang for your buck.
Other than that, I think this little thing is an absolute rockstar for beginners as well as for professionals. It covers both worlds.
When it comes to the price and the value for your money, hands down, I think this is a really, really good deal because honestly, there are not that many lenses to choose from.
If you want a super sharp, compact and well priced F2.8 lens - then Sigma is your choice.
[T]his is exactly where this lens excels - quality and size.
To wrap it - I think this is a pretty cool lens aimed for those who care about the quality and want to take advantage of a compact setup. If you are not someone who must have an f1.2 prime then I think this Sigma 35mm f2 lens could be a really good option.
[T]his is a perfect lens for those who want a high quality, premium zoom lens, with fast aperture, sharp images and most importantly - ridiculously compact size at a very decent price [...]
