Re: Pre-order: Voigtlander 110/2.5 Macro APO for $1,099
Is Stephen including a filter with the lens as he normally does with Voigtlander lenses?
I am not too enamoured with the apearance and the focusing ring of the lens. I much preferthe appearance of my Leica 100mm f2.8 Apo-Macro-Elmarit and its focusing ring. Additionally, I am not too happy that the aperture ring of the Voigtlander of the lens operates in the opposite direction of all of my Leica lenses.
How smooth is the focus of the lens? My Leica R 100mm f2.8 Apo-Macro-Elmarit focus is like butter. But several years ago Leica USA performed a CLA on the lens and it was reported as being a particularly good performing specimen. Additionally, though I have the substantially smaller and lighter SK 120mm f5.6 Makro Symmar HM lens which I can mount on my Cambo Actus (and performs about equally with my Leica 100mm Apo-Macro-Elmarit), the Leica can also be used with and mounted to the same Leica R lens plate as the SK Makro lens to the Cambo Actus and it offers a substantial image circle. The Voigtlander 110mm f2.5 Apo Lanthar can at least at this time not be mounted to the Cambo Actus since there are no E mount lens plates available. But, perhaps someone will make one in the future. Additionally, I am not sure of the image circle of the new Voigtlander for rise/fall, tilt, and swing.
