Comments about Voigtlander 28mm f/2.8 Color Skopar SL II Lens for Canon:
I bought Canon's 40mm pancake for use with my 5DII a while ago on a hiking trip - turns out I love it's size/weight so much that I've rarely removed it from my camera since then. I'm a believer in pancake lenses for general walk-around use. The 40 is great, but I wanted something wider and found this Voigtlander 28mm pancake. What I love (besides the obvious size/weight):- Build quality is really strong. It's all metal and feels like it could take a beating. Much better than the 40, better than some of my L glass, and nearly on par with Zeiss ZE lenses.- For me, the focus ring resistance and throw length is perfect. It's a lot more free and quick than Zeiss ZE lenses, and more solid and smooth than Canon's focus rings. - The images look great. There's really no sacrifice here regarding IQ. Colors and contrast are excellent, and it's super sharp everywhere except extreme corners when wide open. - It's size makes it easy to hand hold at relatively slow shutter speeds.- Didn't notice any CA problems.- The price is right.But:- I wish it were autofocus- I wish for f2.0.- I wish the corners didn't get ugly wide open, but it's really not that bad.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
