I can confirm what you say about the corner sharpness being an issue with the Viltrox, but also found this applies more to focal lengths of wide to standard, and can mostly be worked around by stopping down to a smaller aperture. I found with 28mm you must stop down to at least 8 (even further is better), at 50mm f5.6, at 135mm f 4, and at 200mm 3.5 is sharp across the frame.

Very cool. It's always fun for me to see what lenses people have managed to make work on these cameras.

With regards to the Viltrox booster, I think your summary echoes my experience too. Lack of corner sharpness is most prominent in shorter focal lengths and wider apertures. Shooting a 35/1.4 wide-open is probably how I use my M6II most of the time, so the incremental improvement offered by the Metabones booster was worth it to me.
