The pricing has been announced ... 999EUR

 

I'm tempted nonetheless ...

For testing or private stock?

[Klaus]

Not sure yet. So far I still consider myself to be a MFT user (privately).

Sony E has yet to come up with a decent, compact standard zoom lens.

 

Although I have to admit that the Batis lenses and the STF are pretty awesome ;-)

I hope it's of good optical quality.

The design aesthetic looks great.

Talking of MFT, there is 10.5mm from the same brand which PZ left out.

[Klaus]

We will not test everything. Not based on the current revenue situation.

I was only wandering.

Where to, borisbg?

From DPR:

"Everything about how the 65mm handles screams precision and quality, from the all-metal housing to the drool-worthy matte black finish."

 

The images on their gallery look very good.

The Voigtlander Macro 65mm F2 APO-Lanthar shows excellent sharpness from f/2 across the frame. It also does the APO-label justice since its CA correction is close to perfect. Neither is there any distortion. Bokeh is smooth most of the time but cat-eyes can be a bit distracting as can be the straight aperture blades. Only vignetting is on the higher side but that is a small price to pay for this exceptional performance. In my eyes it is optically the best E-mount lens at the moment, together with the Batis 2.8/135.
