Not even 6hrs since landing in a new country and someone’s already caught me being an idiot in 4k 🤣🤣

Also, ice is a lot harder to slide down than you’d think

Sometimes I think she’s demon spawn

But she lets me rub my face in her belly whenever I feel like it, so it’s a fair trade

Look at her acting all cute as if she didn’t utterly fk my hand up last night 😂

I took 150 images at f/5.6, 8, 12, 16, & 22

10 images with the Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM, 10 with the 300mm + Sony 2x, and 10 with 300mm + Viltrox 2x

There was no discernible difference in image quality, but the Viltrox consistently let in about 1/4 stop more light than the Sony with the same settings

But the Viltrox has zero play in the rear, and tons of play in the front

How the weather sealing compares will need to come in future testing.

No rain forecast this week, so it’ll have to wait, but seems promising so far from lightly splashing sink water at it

Build quality is comparable, but Sony takes the slightest of edges.

Both have similar #cons though -

The Sony has some play in the front and rear mounts

The new #Viltrox 2x TC for Sony E-Mount is here!

1st impressions:

- Comparable image quality & AF speed

- Sony has marginally better build quality

- Viltrox seems to let in 1/4 stop more light
