Pros: Compactness, lightness, sharpness and quality

Cons: Manual focus

Opinion: Exceptional lens, incredibly sharp at all openings, very well resistant to flares, with all-metal structure, which gives an excellent feeling during use. On Sony you need to have the Close Focus VM-E adapter (preferably the original). The lens is completely manual and accurate focusing is always necessary to have the highest possible sharpness, also the aperture ring has no shots and you have to be careful every time. I must say that shooting with this lens gives a fantastic feeling, which normally we are no longer used to with all possible automatisms.

Pros: image quality, sharp sharpness, small and light

Cons: has no contact with the machine so it's completely a manual optics

Opinion: An exceptional leic attack (vm) lens from true connoisseurs, perfect sharpness even in the edges, does not suffer from flare or in general some defects. it's a really pocket-sized, comfortable and lightweight optics. On Sony e-mount sits, but through an adapter called "Adatt Ring. bai-M (VM) to Sony E close focus." The typical voigtlander 10 tips of these lenses are very unique in the world!! an opticthat that can certainly not be missing in the backpack.

Pros: Very small, surgical, after the first click you wonder how it is possible.

Cons: You have to pay attention to the diaphragm declicked, could turn inadvertently.

Opinion: Bought used almost for game I can say it has incredible. Excellent for the B/W, typical colors of the latest generation Voigt so it must please. Cold to the right point. The mechanical construction is perfect, a cylinder easily extractable, with the knurls to increase the grip, to be collapsed manually. Two lens hoods, of which a microscopic one. The definition is very high up to the edges already at full aperture. It necessarily needs the adapter with the helicoid which is no longer an exclusive Voigtlander (with the Commlite comix you save 200 euros while some Chinese adapters cost even 35 euros). Portability and definition are the prerogative of current fashion. That satisfies you in full. If you want the automatisms leave it alone. Here we return back 60 years... but what satisfaction!!!
