Game Changer - for manual focu

If you like manual focus keep reading. Wow, I read all the reviews and was still amazed at my experience. “Will be stuck to my lens…”. Really? Sure enough, true for me as well. Sharper wide open in real use vs tests in the lab. And sharper wide open than my 50mm f1.2 Voigtlander. Why? Is it the feel, or the images or some kind of manufacturing alchemy? I don’t know but despite my doubts this lens will be my go to/stuck on choice! I couldn’t buy it from BH because I am in Canada (no shipping allowed by Voigtlander) but I wanted to add my most enthusiastic two thumbs up so others would consider this manual focus work of Art! Expensive? Yup! Worth it? Up to you. For me, two big thumbs up!!
