Voigtlander Apo-Lanthar 3.5/90mm SL - try that with a non APO lens...
shit hey, looks like I need to spend more money
lol.
Nice preformance on the 90! It's not my focal length of choice but is prety desireable anyhow! Give me a 75 CV anyday though
Paul, I'm also not the best at the ol' financial plans. Thankfully though (sort of) I have a really limited cash flow so i never aim too high and thus can't fall to far into any holes
Still, I've sold about $2300 of stuff this year and only bought about $1k with that. The rest... who knows where it went!
True "APO Power"! Just a sample shot: VC 125mm, wide open (F2,5) on D300, Lightroom 3.0 Beta, no lens correction. The second image is the 100% top-center crop. Enjoy!
I got my 125/2.5 at a great price and I am not complaining about the price I paid for my 90/3.5 (it is worth the money-I just got in on it late) but I didn't get it at as good of a price as the 125.

wow.
Yep, the performance in that torture test is simply un-f*^#ing-believable, but be careful; people will begin accusing you of being overly dramatic or other unsavory attributes.

The Voigtlander 125/2,5 is a very hard match even for my Leica 90/2 APO-Asph and is, probably, the best glass in my little arsenal.
Great shot, and thats high praise you give the Voigt,

Yes the over dramatics, it can't be all that great I'm sure to many the 135L F2 would do just as good, besides Paul you sold off yours so it can't be all that great. Granted on a recent trip I took the Voigtlander, 135L and 135 SF. Needless to say the Voigtlander was the one that got mounted most of the time. I fact I think I only mounted the 135s once on that 2 week trip. Sorry to hear you had to sell yours off Paul one day it shall return back to you maybe as an SLII.
To think a short while again I foolishly contemplated selling off both the Voigtlander 125 and the Leica 90 APO lens.

Well, I did not post my sample shot to overly-stimulate insane comments about my person or to cause disruptive reactions! I wanted only to demonstrate how un-f*^#ing-believable and absolutely wonderful my uber-beloved "Cosina/Voigtländer-APO-Macro-Lanthar-125mm-F2,5-SL" infact is! And, obviously, I will NOT post another test-image, of course!
Same setup (125/2,5 @2,5, D300, LR 3.0Beta, no lens-correction); the second image is the 100% crop to admire the "true-APO-power" in its full glory! Sun-glasses highly recommended!
Now I know why the member chose "burningheart" as his nick. That is because his shots give me heartburn. He is definitely burningheart, burning my heart, to be specific. Now where is the "hide that lens" button?
when you have a moment, would you comment on these two shots please? the color seems to be more vivid from the lecia. how about sharpness? it may not be fair, but afterall it is a lecia
Techincally, you cropped her off at the ankles. Subjectively, you dedicated more pixels to the regions people WANT to look at (well most people..). Psychologically, you didn't even remember she had feet.
Lol yes, my 17 year old cousin. I have 79 other shots of her taken with the 90mm apo, but given that it was mostly swimsuit stuff I probably should refrain
Nice shots Klaus.
