p.3 #1 · Voigtlander 125 vs Zeiss ZF 100

I know I've mentioned it earlier, but I'd love to see the Sigma 150 in there too. It's one of the absolute sharpest lenses I've ever used, beautiful bokeh, absolutely zero CA, and it's just got quality in spades.

One of my favorite shots for explaining the 150's image quality:

Really sharp lens. What aperture is that? How does the bokeh of the lens look?

The prize of the CV125 is the creamy bokeh:

That's at f/5.6.

The bokeh is quite good on the Sigma 150. Perhaps not quite as nice as the CV125, but pretty nice.

Here are two macro examples, and (though it doesn't show a lot OOF because it's so tight) a portrait example at f/2.8:
