Pros:Construction, fluidity of mechanical and sharpness from f / 2 up
Cons:difficult to tame! At f / 1.2 and 'crisp under a meter away, then ...... Hood not included, you buy separately and costs almost $ 150 !!
Opinion:I state that I own version II Aspherical. A lens that I loved from a distance and coveted for a long time. I read everything I could read about this lens on every website! Found used but in conditions indistinguishable from new on Ebay for $ 750 I decided to give it to me. The first impression you and pulling it out of the box 'to have in hand a piece of solid iron! Heavy and solid as a rock. The collars run smoother and to the right point and 'a pleasure to play. Then once mounted on the machine, things have changed. At first I had problems with the adapters. I said "GLI" because I have two of two different brands but the lens could not close tightly (hook to the bottom) with none of due.rnRimaneva not hooked for very little, maybe a couple of millimeters and the maneuver was still tough . As if the bayonet had come a bit too long due. However after deliberately assembled and disassembled from the adapter hundreds of times in a row and finally 'made his home and now is able to engage the closure mechanical adapter. Regarding the sharpzza af / 1.2 (what vaunted anywhere on the web) I must say that there is' but only if you take within five feet away. After that the sharpness decreases substantially. Closing af / 1.4 things do not change much but already af / 2 becomes a whole other music !!! Razor sharp with nice color rendering and a charm all its own. I must also say that to focus at f / 1.2 with my X-E2 I remain a bit difficult even using Facus peaking. Whereas with the X-T1 that has a magnification viewfinder greater than the X-E2 things go much better. Remains a lens a little difficult to tame, a little wild !! Ironically I had a lot less trouble to acclimate and get familiar with his older brother, the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f / 1.1. This and 'a lens very scrambled on various websites, and instead gave me an immediate feeling and a yield above expectations. The 35mm instead to be honest I was a little 'disappointed. I repeat, from f / 2 onwards and 'gorgeous ...... but to shoot well from f / 2 on do not need to take a Voigtlander manual focus !!! The 35mm homeFuji and 'wonderful already at f / 1.4 and it costs much less than Nokton.rnDunque finally, the 35 home Voigtlander fascinates me and I like it but not as I thought and therefore are undecided whether to keep it or sell it. Advice to all those who are interested in this lens a little wild to find a way to test it before you buy it. To understand if and 'what we try or not. However, I can advise you to heart the older brother, the 50mm f / 1,1.rnMax
Cons:a little soft at maximum aperture, not exactly compact
Opinion:Using this perspective on Sony A7R. What can I say, I was really impressed. Mechanically flawless, has a ring of MAF really fluid so that focuse is really a pleasure. The selection of the diaphragms is equally gorgeous with that beautiful feeling of well-lubricated metal sound and easy one step and another. F/1.2 RNA gives its best when used on close subjects (between the minimum distance of 2m and maf ) while on the golf course long lost sharpness and contrast while still providing performance accettabili.rnDa f/1.4 the lens is very sharp as f / 2 up is really exceptional. Blurred very pleasant to be a 35mm.
