Lens Test at Monknash Beach - ZEISS LOXIA 21mm F2.8 DISTAGON vs VOIGTLANDER 21mm F3.5 COLOR-SKOPAR

In this video I spend an afternoon at Monknash Beach of the Glamorgan coastline in Wales and I try to decide which UWA lens I prefer better, the Zeiss Loxia 21mm F2.8 Distagon or the Voigtlander 21mm F3.5 Color-Skopar

    Zeiss glass are just better and the coulours are warmer. 🙏 Thank you for the video.

    I have the Loxia 21 and the 35, and I love using both. Particularly these are both excellent at creating aperture stars at middle apertures without losing too much light by stopping to tiny apertures. I owned and then sold the Voigtlander 50mm f2 Apo-Lanthar. It was a nice handling and performing lens, but the lack of a gasket exposed my cameras to damage unless I taped over the lens mount when in use. Thus the Voigtlander never traveled with me. Lenses that stay at home are not of value to me.

    p.s. I also use the Think Tank Rotation 22, and it always travels with me, easily sliding under airline seats while my small roll bag is in the overhead bin.

    True, lenses staying home have no value. Thanks for taking the time to comment, really appreciated.

    I had the Loxia 21 and sold it like you when I acquired the Voigtlander 21. I missed the Loxia very much and repurchased the Loxia 21. I’ve decided to keep both as they both are great lenses that produce amazing results and each has their strengths and weaknesses. Maybe reconsider selling the Voigtlander? You might at times miss the small size and weight. Regardless I enjoyed your video!

    Hi Marcell, That's a beautiful location you chose for this comparison. The shot at 15:06 looks wonderful. I believe you've made the right decision. I've read that this Voigtländer has poor midframe performance. Maybe if you get a chance, you could test out the Voigtländer 21mm F/1.4. I've read some say that it is better then the Loxia.
