I'm thinking of getting a Leica SL Camera. Wanted to get your feedback on these Voigtlander lenses. How would you you rate these in terms for quality, renderings, colors, etc. ? thank you
Asked by: Jamshed
The following lens has the following good and bad to offer. High resolution and contrast from wide open at center and mid-field. Low distortion. Ultra compact and light. Great build quality with tight tolerance construction. Aperture mechanism provides defined 10-pointed sunstars. No lateral CA. Low axial CA. Outstanding flare resistance. High vignetting. Noticeable field curvature. (Wavy towards infinity) Focus and aperture rings do not rotate independently. Extreme corners never get critically sharp even at small apertures.
