Interesting. I assume that it is the same camera and the white balance is set manually to the same value - for both images. Is that correct?
See the edit: the Viltrox meters 200k warmer on average by default (1st set). 2nd set of images are completely normalized to each other and the Viltrox still has a yellow tint.

I see the same things you describe. Thank you for clarifying.
A bokeh test, just to see shapes at distance across the frame. Note that the Viltrox devolves into cat eyes rather quickly, though the edges of each shape have far less definition than the Nikon.
In the near ground, the bokeh on the tire rimes is noticeably busier on the Viltrox, though I'm starting to think this is because the Viltrox has less effective bokeh as mentioned before.
Just got back from a trip to Oregon with friends and family where I had the opportunity tu use the 35EVO on the A7CR. Loved the size and ergo, the sharpness and flare resistance, but I struggled with the look of tbe images on the camera screen. So today I went out and shot the x-rite color chart hand held outside at 5PM, the EVO the GM and the CZ 24F1.8
Uploaded to Claude I asked for color profile comparison. Tbe CZ required a lot of changes but to match the GM was surprisingly simple:
Yellow sat -9
Green hue +2
Green sat +3
I also used the lens profile for 35F2.8 and the final images were pretty nice!
Need to shoot morevwith this lens to learn what this lens is best suited for, has potential.
I had a lightbulb moment whilst taking some product shots of the 55, and that is that all 3 EVO lenses have such small front elements that in theory, I should be able to use a step-down adapter to convert the filter thread from 58mm to 52mm without issue.
After some testing, that is confirmed. Nice to unlock my catalog of 52mm filters with an $8 step down adapter.
Stacked a mist and cpl for giggles during testing:
