The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Cons:as I use it (overview and architecture), no cons.
Opinion:I use it on Leica M11, manually re-encoded at 6bit to make it recognized by the machine. I often use it with the perspective control of the M11: FANTASTIC. Excellent resolution and distortion. Small and compact. It's part of my basic kit because with the crops of the machine (1.3x and 1.8x) it gives me a perfect 15-20-27. The brightness of 4.5 is not a problem given the ISO tightness of the Leica. Like all the Voigtlander lenses I have (10, 15, 28, 50, 90) it is a jewel, much cheaper than other brands, but not inferior in quality.
Pros:Sharpness, "Voigtlander" rendering, i.e. similar to Zeiss rendering: good microcontrast and appreciable macrocontrast or three-dimensionality
Cons:Nothing in particular if you appreciate manual focus
Opinion:Recently bought, I will refine the opinion later, after a few tests well done, but I specify that in the E version for Sony THE MINIMUM DISTANCE is 30cm and not 50! Also there is de-click function of the aperture welcome in video. For the rest, from the beginning, only with a few shots and shots, the optical figure of the Voigtlanders emerges, which fortunately produces manual optics with the characteristics indicated above: microcontrast (fabulous in the 65 macro), macrocontrast (fabulous in the 35 APO) and in any case present in substantial doses also in this 15
Pros:Sharpness and the pleasure of using optics that tastes of other times. Price
Cons:None, since I also found a way to mount the Kase slab filters with the holder of the 100 series
Opinion:Great optics, I can not find a flaw. Indeed, if I really have to, the star effect sometimes I would not want it to occur. A light, compact and sturdy optics that must not be missing in the bag of a landscaper. High flare resistance. I bought it because the 18 Batis sometimes has a not enough angle of view for my kind of shots.
Pros:Accurate construction, good sharpness, flare resistance
Cons:Vignetting
Opinion:That's a good goal. I often use it on M7 with bn film and provides notable results. Maybe at the full opening it cartoons a little. Filters I can't fit. But, even in relation to the price, I find it absolutely advisable. A question for the Leicists: on M10 (or M9) with that coding you use it, Tri-Elmar or 21 f2.8 preasph.? Or without coding? Does anyone know if it is possible to mount a codoified bayonet (and by whom)? Thank you
Pros:Dimensions, detail definition, mechanics, ability to use screw filters.
Cons:Vignette, hard to get bokeh,
Opinion:I've been using it for six months now, with great satisfaction. Compact, robust and precise mechanical lens without electronics. Beautiful feeling of control in the regular fire, very precise the diaphragm diaphragm (which works in increments of 1/2 stop) Immense depth of field, which allows you to have everything in focus almost to any diaphragm. The counteraltar is that if you want to blend the background, unless you use a helicoid, you go crazy. Very saturated colors and excellent contrast, even in situations with heavy backlight. At the moment I have never felt particularly need to use a polarizer. Convenient and effective the built-in lampshade, but not being possible to remove it, you can not use slab filters. However, the front lens that does not protrude allows you to use screw ones. Superb sharpness from TA to the center. I find it very good even at the edges, at least my specimen. Excellent across the frame from f5.6 onwards. I didn't notice any particular distortions. You have to take care to keep the lenses very clean. Given the high detail and the wide range of focus, small points of dirt, which on other lenses would disappear, are clearly visible on the frame even at TA. Marked the vignette, even with closed diaphragm. However, it can be corrected in post-production.
