Opinion:I had been looking for a 35mm lens for my Nikon Z7 II for a while and I was not fully convinced by the shots of the Nikon Z lens. The lens is compact (a bit heavy) and is totally manual (focus and aperture). I don't consider it a problem, in fact I remembered when I was shooting with the Samyang 14mm manual. The movement of the focus is fluid, not too "soft" and precise. Ditto the ring for the setting of the Diaphragm. Mounting on the machine also fluid that confirms the excellent construction workmanship of the lens. Distortion practically absent (however, after manual selection the correction of the profile in Camera Raw / Lightroom). The only drawback is the absence of tropicalization, and the weight (for its small size, however, it is a nice brick). Excellent flare resistance. Before writing this review I took it with me on three different trips, with three different types of backpack: (Ibiza: Village; Sweden: Fly and Drive with Family; Trekking in the Dolomites). It never let me down. Absolutely highly recommended. ATTENTION TO THE FRONT DIAMETER FILTERS: for Nikon Z it is 52mm (not 49 mm as indicated in this Juza sheet). Always check the specifications on the dealer's website before purchasing filters/adapters and/or polarizers
Pros:sharpness even in extreme corners already from F2, excellent construction, it is one of the most optically correct and performing lenses I have ever seen and owned
Cons:For the Leica M standard is relatively large
Opinion:Really perforating and well made optics, I owned and used many other fixed lenses, 35 mm in particular, but this from direct comparisons made by me to the same subject and in the same light condition is always superior. It has a little bit of aberrations in critical situations but really nothing serious. Compared to any other full frame system it is a very small and light lens, for the demanding leica m standard it is a bit large, long in particular, especially considering that it is a 35. However, if you have used Canon L-series systems or the corresponding nikon in the past, it will seem small and light as a feather by comparison. For landscapers like me who sometimes print at large sizes is a perspective to be recommended absolutely. Those who want something less visible, more discreet let's say, have many other alternatives, the same voigtlander has other 35 mm very valid and small as the 35 f2 summicron aspherical of leica. I personally do not really like too small lenses, I find them uncomfortable to use in focusing. This lens instead has a nice ring relatively large, with the right resistance, pleasant to use and precise.
Pros:Construction materials, fluidity of rings, image quality, APO treatment, sharpness already at TA, price
Cons:Not really "pocketable", impact on vision through the viewfinder, that's all.
Opinion:I was always hesitant and skeptical until I tried it on the Leica M10 and M11 and I was afraid that the comparison with the Summicron 35mm, did not hold up in the slightest. They are obviously different goals and the Leica look for heaven's sake, is not discussed (especially for the colors), but ... try it once and then you will tell me! Fantastic from several points of view. Meanwhile, the materials used and the construction. Soft rings, especially that of the diaphragm, perfect mechanisms, without a minimum of play or uncertainty. Metal and glass, that's all. A bit cumbersome, that you (it is actually lunghetto) and you can easily see it at the bottom right looking through the viewfinder, but then you get used to it. Truly amazing optical quality. Sharpness and incisiveness already at f2, but at f4... f5.6.... perfection. Decisive, with its own character and the APO treatment makes it unique. No aberrations and distortions. I would like to point out that I am not biased because I have had for a long time also several Leica optics and I did not give up, but I assure you that the latest Voigtlander, including this and the 50mm (also APO Lanthar Asferico) are absolutely to have! They really won me over and the price also entices a lot! Rating 10
