jtk Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Bad things? My 25/4 isn't a 21: That's about the worst I can say. It's amazingly sharp, not romantic. It vignettes on 35 (who cares)? It could use a bigger shade than it comes with, but everything else does too. It's f4 instead of 2.8. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronald_moravec1 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 25 is a fine lens only bettered by the latest offerings from Leica and Zeiss. I bought mine to replace 21 and 28 Leica lenses for hiking etc where weight is important. Still have them though. 21 should be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivek iyer Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Sus from Praha, I have a 21mm lens. It isn't getting used now. I may want to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Sus, I used the Skopar 25mm briefly. I only sold it because I didn't use it very much and more importantly felt I didn't use it very well! But as regards construction and so forth, I thought it a lovely little lens. It may well be that the new versions of the coupled 21mm and 24mm lenses from Voigtlander are slightly better ergonomically, though. The old 24mm and 21mm have the little focusing lever attachments; I think the new pancake versions of the 21mm and 24mm have the integrated focusing tab -- which I personally find more comfortable to use. But these are relatively minor points of personal preference, really. I still think the great advantage of the Voigt lenses is that they are fantastic value -- so if, like me, you want to try and get better at wide-angle photography, you can buy decent WA lenses without spending too much. regards alun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene_e._mccluney Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The 25mm Snapshot Skopar is not coupled to the rangefinder..it is estimate focus. The 21mm Voigtlander lens IS coupled to the rangefinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtk Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 By comparison, I find an slr with 24/2.8 very hard to focus in many lighting conditions but 25/4 is easy to zone focus in every lighting condition because of the lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sus_pendme Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Thank you for kind messages. I have lot to read. Vivek-- I am interested. How do I contact you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_neuthaler Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Love the 25 VC; it's almost always on my IIIF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsimmons Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I have the 25mm, and it is a very good lens. Build quality is very good, ergonomics very good. I do wish it had cam focussing, but for the price I'm happy with zone focussing. If I had any objection, it would be that it's a tad contrasty. Color saturation is outstanding.

vivek iyer Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Sus-buddy, Click on my name and get the email address from p.net if you already do not have it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincenzo_maielli Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hi dear friend. Those lenses are both wonderful. The 25 mm f/ 4 allow only the hyperfocal focusing, because don't is coupled with the rangefinder. The 21 mm f/ 4 is coupled with the rangefinder. My brother own the 21 mm f/ 4 and we find this lens very superb, mechanically and optically. Ciao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
