Voigtlander 90mm f/2.8 SLIIs Apo-Skopar Reviews

Not what I’d have expected from Voigtlander.

By Marty

I have seven (modern Cosina built) Voigtlander lenses and love them all. The three APO Lanthars are brutally sharp wide open, all the way into the far corners. FAR sharper and better corrected than any Summicron, Summilux, Distagon or Planar that I have ever used. I’m not exaggerating. The Ultron, Heliars and color Scopars are not that well corrected, but easily comparable to other modern high end lenses. That being said, this 90mm was a disappointment. It vignettes quite a bit wide open. It doesn’t impress with gorgeous bokeh, hold critical focus across the field, or exhibit the kind of snap and sparkle one might expect from modern lenses. Overall, it was little better corrected than my sixty year old Non Ai Nikkor H, about comparable to my forty seven year old Canon SSC, and not as good as my thirty year old Nikon D autofocus. Aside from top notch build quality, nice handling, gorgeous fit/finish, and compact form factor there’s little to brag about its optical performance.  Optically, it’s middling at best. I returned mine for a refund. The only Voigtlander lens I’ve seen that was so disappointing.

Very close to perfection

Excellent image quality, even at f/2.8, used on a Fuji X-T3. Very high mechanical quality, the rings are very nice to use. Light weight despite being all metal and glass. Only possible improvement would be a shorter minimum focusing distance.
