Voigtlander lens.

[low light]

Just bought an M6 with 50mm Summicron and was thinking of getting a 35mm as

well, as I cannot afford to get the Leica version I was considering the

Voigtlander 35mm F2.5 pancake lens, would any users give their opinions on

this lens? Any example photos would be appreciated!

All of the Voigtlander 35mm lenses, the Pancake, the Ultron and the Nokton are very fine

performers.

I agree with Gene. From my experience with VC all I can say is that VC lenses are fine lenses. In fact, excellent lenses for the money.

I did that as well, its a great little lens. Cheap out on it and save your money for something else, to me the summircon isnt even a priority now. I've been more than pleased with the VC 35mm 2.5

 

make sure you get the lens hood.<div></div>

cheap out, no problem, but consider the 40mm/1.4 VC before you decide.

Very light and handy and inexpensive. One of my favorite lenses.

Hi, Anthony. I own an Ultraon 35/1,7 and Apo Lanthar 90/3,5. Both are excellent lenses, optically and mechanically speaking. Also, the Pankace is very very good.

I don't know why but I personally never felt comfortable with the feel of it - much happier with the (faster) 40mm rokkor. Having said that, the 39mm filter size may be more convenient. Johnny.

I have two Voigtlander lenses, the 25 which is quite good and the 50/2.5 which is fairly poor. IN both the physical build quality seems very nice. I also have the first version Voigtlander meter and it's great. It's a great company and I won't hold the 50/2.5 against them.
