Opinion:I bought this lens after researching it and I must say that I have never regretted it, it is always in my backpack or on my Sony a7rIII. Super sharp, classic of the Voigtlander, excellent microchronograph super light. it is a lens that can be mounted on manual focus screw filters, but I do not consider it a defect, on the contrary it gives it character that this lens has to sell. I recommend having it in support
Opinion: Bought used at a price of 500 euros with sony attachment, as soon as I tried it I was amazed by the sharpness and colors very similar to the old Zeiss.No problem for manual adjustment because the image is enlarged to facilitate focusing. Already very good at 4.5 it does not make you regret greater openings. I highly recommend it, given the size we can comfortably always keep it with us, finally the value for money is very high.
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.
