voigtlander_28_f2apo_lanthar Voigtlander Apo-Lanthar VM 28mm f/2 Aspherical

Pros: nothing in my specimen

Cons: problems in my specimen

Opinion: I state that I took this lens from a large chain of used material at a strangely affordable price compared to the average price, to be used on a Minolta film body, to test it I tried it on Panasonic S1 with novoflex adapter, or rather two different novoflex adapters, (which is the official manufacturer of the original Leica adapters) my sample did not focus infinitely, a building at 150 meters with the image magnification was in focus but the reference on the lens was about three mm before the infinity stop, this with both adapters, then looking at the images on the computer they held up to 100% magnification beyond they were very undefined and the focus did not correspond to the distance, this even closing at 2.8 and 4 made the same shots with the zeiss batis 25 which is a good lens but not exceptional, this was better, probably my sample was defective, I think, the fact is that it did not convince me and I returned it. I would like to try another one to make the comparison with the shots I already have. the front cover made in a painful way always comes off leaving the lens uncovered, a protective filter is recommended. the focus ring very smooth, excellent, the distances on the barrel very close compared to other 28 mm.

fujifilm_27_f2-8 Fujifilm XF 27mm f/2.8

Pros: sharpness, weight, street optics almost invisible when mounted on small bodies, type A1/M1/E1/E2

Cons: high price for this focal length, lack of hood, enters dust and hair everywhere, difficult to focus in manual, af to understand in combination with the body, brightness f 2.8, buy all filters because the thread is from 39.

Opinion: taken new, I had seen 5 used before but all full of dust and hair, it looks like a vacuum cleaner from so much dirt I saw inside, after not long even in mine there was a point of dust. then you buy the hood because they do not give it supplied and original costs expensive, should be taken at least the Polarizer if you want to make landscapes, the 39 thread is not compatible with anything else of the lenses that one already has. Look at the lens and it is just over 1 cm wide you do not understand why they did not make an F2, for the size of the glasses, the price is very high compared to the 23 F2. And at its real value, the quality is good does not disappoint, not having made exasperated backlight I can not speak of defects in this sense, as mentioned by others, same for fringing, not having taken photos to take care of particularly for exposure or other but only "tourist" photography and not even portrait set that can be the other use of this lens. In the end after using it relatively little I also thought of selling it, it did not excite me at all unlike other lenses. Not used for video.
