Pros: Simply a Voigtlander

Cons: Don't own it

Opinion: I borrow this lens from my trusted shop to be able to test it in the three days of the end of the year in Rome, in the end it is the third Voigtlander that I have. It has manual focus, but I took about 500 shots, without even a photo out of focus. The sharpness and weight is the classic one of the Voigtlander P.S. I tested it the other week on the Pordoi for a star trail with excellent results even if it is an F.3.5 If you want you can find the photo on my profile Reato not have it

Pros: Well built, small and light, great optical quality, 10-blade diaphragm.

Cons: If you want to look for the nitty-gritty, it's not autofocus.

Opinion: Purchased new in 2019, together with other Voigtlander lenses, to have a line of small and handy lenses to complement the heavy and bulky autofocus ones, and to be used on a full-frame Sony body. The presence of electrical contacts helps in precision manual focusing and allows the transmission of shooting data. The diaphragm is set exclusively by means of a ring, fluid and precise, in steps of a third of a stop and there is a scale of focus distances that allows me to use it very often in hyperfocal. Both operations are very quick to execute, allowing for great operational speed. It conveys great feeling in use, for its handling and for the impression of using an analog system that I still regret. Optical quality, effectiveness in backlighting, absence of doing, magical 10-blade star on the light points already at relatively open diaphragms are the other distinctive elements of this lens. It is one of the few lenses purchased, together with the 10mm and the 50mm Apo Lanthar by Voigtlander, which has never led me into the temptation of the change.

Pros: Sharpness from center to edge, color rendering, lightness, compactness, optical and construction quality, resistance to reflection and for me also aesthetics.

Cons: no one as long as they don't want the impossible

Opinion: Purchased used but as new at half the list price, it brought me closer to wide-angle photography a little more pushed than the 24 which has been so far the widest angle lens I had ever used. With the Sony a7s it has an exceptional rendering for colors and sharpness, you want to go to enlarge beyond the physical limits given by the resolution of the sensor to observe the details even at the edges. F 3.5 is fine given the price and compactness and with the A7s not afraid of high iso is not a limitation at all. Excellent the minimum focusing distance and to be a wide-angle even the blurred is great. It is worth everything it costs, even at the price of the new. The color rendering is warm and rightly saturated and the 10-point star light effect is really pleasant. It has a remarkable resistance to reflection against light. Manual focus is fast and precise thanks to the focal length, focus peaking and magnification of the viewfinder or monitor of the A7s also thanks to the contacts for Sony, the aperture used and the other exif data of the shot are recorded. Worth a full 10.

Pros: Sharpness, Colors, Light Weight, Small Size, Precious Materials

Cons: Manual lens, no automation and no autofocus

Opinion: This lens, like any Voigtlander lens, is synonymous with a very high quality, both of construction and therefore of used materials and of final rendering in the image. Surely the peculiarity of this lens is its beautiful 10-pointed star on the lights, due to the typical Voigtlander diaphragm. Incredible and sharp ness to all diaphragms, these lenses seem not to know what diffraction is!! No flare problem and chromatic aberration!! A "negative" note is that they are all generally dark lenses f/4-5.6 and completely manual both as diaphragms (you have to turn the dial) and as focus, however we have an electronic connection with the machine and then the parameters are read in the exif data and it is stored to what diaphragm we were working on. The prices of these lenses in my opinion are quite low for the very high quality they give. Today 2 March 2020 I own 3 Voigtlander lenses with great satisfaction!

Pros: Light, compact, optical quality and general construction, minimum focus distance, not "stretch" edges

Cons: LENS cap Unbearable!

Opinion: Purchased to match it to the Zeiss 35/2.8 to have the maximum lightness and compactness to keep in your pocket during "light photographic trips" or during mountain excursions. The lack of autofocus is not a problem even in low ambient light thanks to the magnification in the viewfinder and the pleasant smoothness of the focus ring. Sharp at the center already at TA, improves at the edges by closing a couple of diaphragms. Slightly more "knead" than the Zeiss 16/35 F4 a TA, closing the diaphragm the difference is attenuated almost to cancel. Always compared to the aforementioned zoom-which I own-has more saturated colors, greater resistance to internal reflexes and less lateral chromatic aberration. In my opinion it is a particularly advisable lens for those who prefer light and compact fixed optics to use during travel and/or excursion, street and reportage. According to the reviews on the net The Loxia 21 2.8 is better for landscape use, however at a price and with a double weight. Rated 9
