Pros: General character, construction, very compact dimensions.

Cons: Minimum distance of MAF

Opinion: I use it on Z6II with adapter ring. It's my first voigtlander, I wanted a compact 35mm manual focus for street/travel but Nikon unfortunately doesn't offer anything like it. Compared to the description I have the II MC version After 2 months of use and a few thousand photos I can say that I have made a great purchase: even if it is a bit ungraceful aesthetically on Z6II it is great. Its strength, in addition to the performance, is the compactness and pleasure of the manual MAF, you can shoot a whole day without feeling the weight. All the rings are soft and precise, without play, with that of the diaphragms which, however, is placed in the final part, used to having it near the nozzle in the other lenses at the beginning it was a bit unsettling but still you get used to it quickly. the optical rendering is of a high level, less perfect than the Z lenses, but it wants to express a precise character: the shadows are more open than the native lenses (fantastic in portraits), the colors are more natural and the boken is very large in the focal planes. Its true character, however, emerges in my opinion between f/1.4 and f/2.8, where its small flaws, namely a little softness at the edges (little but evident), poor contrast and reading of colors in warm shadows, give it a magnificent rendering in my opinion, another reason why I took it. From f/2.8 upwards it becomes more similar to modern optics, with extreme resolution over the entire frame (especially between f/4 and f/8 it is a real blade), while maintaining its connotations and its reading of light. It must be taken into account that the minimum distance of MAF is 70cm, but for me it is not a problem in its intended use. Probably on Leica M these features would be further strengthened.

Pros: Weight, dimensions, construction... character!

Cons: Lens not for everyone

Opinion: I own the single coated version II, I love the fact that Voigtlander has managed to almost totally correct those small flaws of the previous version (chromatic aberrations, focus shift and sharpness at full aperture) while maintaining the "character" that distinguished it. Not recommended for those looking for perfection, highly recommended for those who want a different flavor in the photos. In the pros, as far as I'm concerned, I also add the Flare (not the absence but the beauty) and the Bokeh which does not have that annoying cat eye at the edges maintaining a good roundness (personal taste of course).

Pros: Compact, brightness 1.4 , construction materials, excellent contrast, price

Cons: focusing distance. cost of hood.

Opinion: Excellent lens for leica at a low price compared to the Leica lenses of the parent company, I use it on an M8 is from excellent results, it is compact, well solid, with an excellent complexion and excellent contrasts. The only flaw in my opinion, the focusing distance. Recommended for all those looking for a lens at a good price without having to faint excessively.

Pros: Granite construction, tiny, rings, colors, font

Cons: quite soft at wider apertures, Chromatic aberration, slight barrel distortion, fairly marked flare and perhaps the focusing distance

Opinion: Goal of an impeccable construction! Holding it in your hand gives you a feeling of security. Very compact! Using the rings is very pleasant and fun. I used it initially on a fuji xpro3 where its defects were more marked. After that, he mounted it on a Leica MP, for which it was created, and the music changed. Even more compact for the absence of the adapter ring (even if it was very thin) I understood why the focusing distance is 70cm, with the rangefinder you can not frame and focus perfectly at shorter distances ... but you can always use the LV. On the leica the colors and contrasts seemed more beautiful, the blurred and the detachment of the planes more marked gave even more value to this little one. In short, mind you, it is not an exceptional lens but for its weight, size and price it offers so much! At wider openings it is a bit soft and vignettes a lot but for portraits it is more than fine. then it has an excellent three-dimensionality and color representation. You see many photos around, even here on juza, taken with this lens that are of incredible beauty.

Pros: Construction and dials, size and weight, maximum opening, general yield.

Cons: FULL-open AC, yield to corners up to f/5.6, minimum focus distance (70cm)

Opinion: I own the MC version, so with an anti-reflective treatment more suitable, according to the manufacturer, to color photography. I use it 'welded' to my Fuji X-E2, so it gives me a focal point of about 50mm, my favorite. From the point of view of the construction and the dexterity to use it, I can only be enthusiastic. All metal and glass, with the diaphragms' diaphragms ring that allows the click to 1/3 of diaphragm, not hard, neither soft and the dial for the focus well braked, without being too much. Great, for both dials, the finger clasping. The lens is small and light, which on an ML does not mind. From the point of view of optical yield, the large aperture allows you to use low ISO when the light is missing. It also has a pleasant bokeh and the detachment is clearly visible even to closed diaphragms. The overall yield is good, although the angles (despite the asp-c sensor) do not shine at full aperture. You have to close at least to f/2.8 to have them readable. At full opening suffers from a remarkable AC, just close to F2 and disappears. Impossible to use in close ups, having a minimum focus distance of 70cm, too bad. It's still a pleasure to use it. I don't think I'm ever going to sell this optics. I would like to test the yield on FF as well. Currently you can't use it on my 6D. I'll have to wait to buy an R. In the next few years maybe.
