I guess y’all really don’t find it to be much of a detriment that the e-mount version has no EXIF data, or is not seen as native by the Sony camera?
Not having exif data is one thing but not being able to use the magnification method to focus is what made me give up this actually wonderful lens... Although it is wide angle lens alright but accurate focusing is still necessary, especially at large aperture settings.

It’s only slightly inconvenient. I have ibis set to 28mm when the lens is mounted and I shoot it wide open or at f2 most of the time so knowing what the aperture was is not a big deal.

Joshua - I’m not sure what you are talking about. Yes, this lens does not allow auto magnification, but I never use that feature even when using native e-mount Voigtlander lenses. I have a custom button that I hit when I want to magnify for precise focus. It’s much more useful to me than auto magnification. Do you not do that? If not, you should try it. Focusing this Thypoch lens is no different than any other.

Hi Eric, thanks for your reply. No, I didn't do that and I mis-focused a fair amount to a point that I didn't bother anymore. I gave up and sold that lens to Jay T already.

Lately I've abandoned the 28mm and prefer the 21 and 25... Today I took only the 28 for a walk.
I only got one shot
On August 14th we turned 28. 28 years of marriage. 28 years together. The magic number...28

Your call, of course. But my hope is that you would give up your current scam, and move to Paris for a few years with that Thypoch. Your "Red-coated Lady of Temple Street" is just beautful!

Thanks for posting.

Thanks, Jacques! 😂. I might actually do that since I retired a year ago. 🙂. Thank you for saying that. It’s always nice getting feedback like yours. 👊👊
The road crews building the new high roads in the Indian Himalaya are such good people, most are from the poorest states in India: Bihar and Jharkand. The Indian Government entrusts them with these massive machines, and they sure deliver.
always time for horseplay
accidents happen but your mates support you
the guy in charge of the pitch machine
one of the my favourite images, close to straight OOC

Philip, the second-to-last picture, the one that's a favorite of yours, is a great example of (in this case, sensor stack-induced) field curvature enhancing the impression given by the image. This was a big part of the magic formula in the old Zeiss 28mm "Hollywood" and it's successor in the Classic series.

Wow! Numbers 1, 4, and 5 are fantastic. I think the 28/1.4 excels at this type of “person in the landscape” image. Especially wide open or at f2 or f2.8. These images are beautiful. Keep posting!
It's a shame the industry did not provide fast 28s of this quality until recently. The bokeh is not something you can easily produce any other way at the close subject-camera distances I like to use. The stone walls here were a stern test, it's very reassuring to have such a competent lens. Two women from Nako township, in the wilds of Spiti (in Himachal Pradesh).
