Hallo!
There are two new Voigtländer lenses - SL Series II 40/2 & 58/1,4.
Anyone having tested any of those and if so what´s your opinion.... any reason to go for a new Voightländer lens instead of for example a Nikon 50mm AIS lens ??
/Jon

Hi Jon, I haven't tried either but the 58/1.4 interests me. It's a very similar design to the Noct-Nikkor 58/1.2 minus the aspherical element, so
supposedly renders the OOF areas very smoothly like the Noct-Nikkor, and more smoothly than any of the Nikkor 50mm lenses.

Jon,
Yes the 58 looks interesting - I guess we just have to wait for some reviews unless the "gas" becomes to big !?! It is also interesting, I think, to see that Cosina creates those new prime lenses for Nikon incl meetering possibilities. The next natural step I guess could be a Series III incl AFS functionality which could attract an even bigger market. /jon |
