I absolutely love these little firecrackers of joy.

As much as i love 40mm as a 21th century proposal to be the new normal normal… i was disappointed, like most here, about the odd close gaping. Would have made sense to have 24/35/50 sure.

Today, i had an epiphany… the 3 lenses are perfect in their focal length, it just needs to be a quartett 🥰

Introducing a forth 28mm counterpart would be just perfect for me.

The 24 is more of a 22-23 so taking it out as a pair with the 50 never worked for me. Taking all three is odd, because i kinda struggle with the closeness of the 40 and 50 in the field.

Having a quartett, that is actuall more like two pairs, would be amazing.

Some would choose 24/40, others 28/50. For me the latter would currently my dream mini kit.

What do you think?

It goes without saying that a sensational 1.4/28 GM is overdue forever. My most anticipated GM for quite some time 🥰

I'm planning to buy 24mm for my a7c - did anyone bought it? How good is it?

The 24mm isn't my most used lens but I'm glad I have it. It's small and light enough to just add to the photo bag for the day without worry of a weight penalty.

I went with 24/40, but kind of wish I had the 50.
But also in my bag is 90.

My original kit was 20 1.8 doubled to 40 2.5 doubled+some to the 90.
I think the 50 would have been a better fit, but you live and learn.

I liked the form of the 40 so I picked up the 24... so now the 20 stays on the shelf - but I will be using it for astro and low light.

I had the 24G for my A7C, and while a nice lens, my copy wasn’t as sharp the 40G I know so well and love. Nice, but ultimately I ended up selling it.

I find my 40G lens very sharp with a nice contrast. Amazing and small.
Same 24G. I dont have 50G, but looks like whole small G series are performing similar - nice contrasty and sharp lens, very compact, small and very light. Any Voigtlander mounted on my a7c is heavier than these.

I'm late to the party but I love to handle these tiny lenses. Have not been tempted to reach for manual focus lenses recently.
