next PZ lens test report: Voigtlander Ultron 40mm f/2 SL II - Klaus - 01-28-2012 Good but not stellar ...

I know, 35mm is not 40mm but it's very close. The 35/2 is cheaper, and while not as small as the Ultron, both are already very small compared to the body. Is the MF of it that nice? next PZ lens test report: Voigtlander Ultron 40mm f/2 SL II - dave9t5 - 01-29-2012 [quote name='Klaus' timestamp='1327794742' post='15277'] Good but not stellar ...

The next one is a wide- angle lens. next PZ lens test report: Voigtlander Ultron 40mm f/2 SL II - dave9t5 - 01-29-2012 [quote name='Klaus' timestamp='1327831822' post='15281'] Depends on what you consider to be related.

[/quote] PZ is like a box-of-candies - you never know what you gonna get ... ;-) next PZ lens test report: Voigtlander Ultron 40mm f/2 SL II - Rover - 01-30-2012 I'm slightly confused by the rather invective start of the verdict ("The Voigtlander Ultron 40mm f/2 SL II is certainly a cute lens and such pancake lenses are generally "hip" at the moment. It does stop here though.") that doesn't match either the performance figures or the rating (3* to 3½* for optics is a great result for a pancake, a fullframe one at that). So what's the problem? The very tame max. magnification? (sure, this lens is probably more useful for low-light street photography than the WA closeup shallow DOF work - especially since it's not really wide - but that kind of stuff is also popular) Or the boken issue? Sure it's not stellar but it's a harsh example in testing conditions, and I'm not sure it's going to matter much given the true intended application of this lens (see above). With the max. magnification of 1:7 you're not likely to be using this lens for isolating small-ish subjects with lots of background blown out of focus... It may just be that my nerd self has reared up its head again tho. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> |
