Both Ultron 28mm and 35mm Type II were discontinue earlier, and most sellers are either ran out of stock for these 2 lens, or raising prices significantly.
This leaves me 2 choice either to wait for Type III or just buy Type II at a premium. Need some advice
Compared to the Voigtlander 40/1.2 Nokton and the Nikkor 40/2.
I don't consider myself to be primarily a collector however I do have 19 cameras (both film and digital) ranging from 4 x 5 to a Perkeo II folder. I saw a Bessa-L which I think looks great for what I think is a good price. I have a Leitz collapsible 50mm Summicron in LTM mount.
I see the Bessa-L has no VF and was originally equipped with WA glass.
I'm not sure what adding this to my pile would do for me as I already can shoot the Summicron on the Barnack iiic. Adding Voigtländer glass pushes the combined total above what I feel like I want to spend.
It seems that the Bessa-L body may not be right for me (my last purchase was a Nikon F2 which works great).
Thoughts (I seem to be trying to calm the G.A.S.)
Picked up the 1.2 because I figured it could serve as a backup portrait in travel. The APO was also attractive, but I think that ends up being an even larger lens. Did run into a weird situation - shooting at F8 would set infinity at the F8 marking for zone. But pixel peeping I still see softening at infinity. Is this because modern 60MP sensors pick those details up? Do I overcompensate next time? This is on the Leica M E-V1 body.
Hello everyone!!
I shoot sony apsc and I love 28mm (40mm equivalent in full frame). I've got the Viltrox 27mm F1.2 and I've decided that I'd like something manual. I've seen there are many 28mm, and I do not know which one to pick.
My priorities are good build quality and not a lot of weight (sub 400 grams at minimum). Decent sharpness would be nice. I do not mind slow apertures.
Anyway, would any of you mind tell me which 28mm to pick and how does Voigtlander's nomenclature work?
Thanks a lot!!
Oh, by the way, I shoot landscapes and portraits. Just in case it helps for the suggestions.
Hello all. Anyone out there adapting voigtlander or other lenses to your SL2 (or 3)? I’m wondering if the sharpness remains the same as it would on an M body considering the L-M adapter brings the rear element a little further from the sensor on the SL2? Or am I not understanding how that all works. Furthermore, I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the field with these lenses (or other brand lenses) compared to Leica lenses. Currently I have the 50mm summicron V4 adapted to SL2-S and I love the portability it offers me while out in the city. I would love to try a 28mm so any recommendations of your favorite lens would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
