John, did you eventually get the Voigtländer 35 mm f/2 apo Lanthar? If so, were you able to compare it to the Leica M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH FLE (version 1)?

Lovely lens. Thank you for the video sir

What a lovely and FUN father/daughter moment! She is werking it! Yes, with an “e”, she might appreciate the difference..lol I’m getting my M11 in a couple of weeks and though I am tempted to get the Leica 50 Lux (not the official APO one), but I I keep hearing and seeing over and over the many praises for the VM. I too own the R5/RF50 1.2 combo, so the fact that the VM 50 APO offers the same (if not better) results speaks volumes!

Is there a 65 mm f2 sigma lens for canon r5 ?

I am planning on renting the 50mm APO soon. For 35mm I love the Ultron f2. It has a Helios like rendering to the bokeh at f2 but stopped down its just sharp like a modern lens.

@67tagada

Жыл бұрын

I had Ultron II, but resold for APO 35mm, much better, especially if you do landscape and architecture.

Sweet perfection!

Love this lens as well. I use it for landscape and architecture, and the rendering is out of this world. I previously owned their 65 APO and 110 APO lenses as well, which are pure perfection, especially for close-ups, but I wanted something smaller, so I went for their 50 APO, and added the Leica 135 Elmar as well. I hope they do a small 135 or longer one day. The Elmar is a bit long and have some noticeable aberrations. I will probably get their 35 as well, which I previously tried and also enjoyed. If you are in to architecture and landscape, you should take a look at their small wide-angle primes; 10, 12, 15 and 21 f/3.5. I purchased the Laowa 9mm f/5.6, but I might get the Voigtländer 10 instead, as the Laowa colours and casts are very hard to edit. It's an interesting lens, though, and I also use some Laowa macro lenses. I then got the Zeiss Loxia 21, but the Voigtländer 21mm f/3.5 is even smaller, but it has a more curved field. Might give the 90 a try as well, but I don't want too many lenses, aha. I would love to try a Leica one day with these lenses. The mechanics inspire me. I use the lenses on a Sony currently. I put all my GM primes and zoom lenses for sale. I just don't enjoy using them near as much, and I don't want to photograph sports, weddings, et cetera. It's a passion for me, but I always went for the absolute fastest and most feature rich lenses, but I'm throwing that idea out of the window. Just love doing this as a passion, and maybe I will try product photography or so one day. I'm much more relieved. For now, I will study to become a lab technician.

The 35 APO is outstanding and I do love the 90mm (really small for a 90) I have the older 21 f/4 and it’s good but not near the level as the others.

I decided to skip 50mm all together. The Sigma 65mm f2 is amazing. Kind of in between 50 and 85. Those I Series lenses are built so well. Looks like Fuji lenses for full frame.

I'm selling my Zeiss lenses and switching to Voigts. So far I own the 35mm APO and 110 APO. Undecided if I'll get the 65mm or 50mm?

What is the remote transmitter you have on your M11? That looks like a Profoto Connect Wireless transmitter. AFAIK, Profoto makes these only for Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm and Olympus. Does one of these (Olympus?) work on the Leica M11?
