Re: Voigtlander 90mm f/3.5 APO


I used to have the 90/3.5 LTM version but I eventually sold it since I prefer the Konica M-Hexanon 90/2.8 especially when it came to close-ups and bokeh. I found the close up bokeh rendering on the CV to be somewhat harsh sometimes, although it was better than Konica in infinity shots.

The LTM version is 260g and has MFD of 1m while the SL v1 version is 390g and has MFD of 0.5m. There is also SL v2 that was lighter than v1 at 320g and had a close-up lens option, and Nikon S-mount version (85/3.5). The optical designs look same.

SL2 was introduced in 2010, 8-9 years later than LTM and SL v1 versions so there might have been some additional improvements that are not visible in the specsheets.

2nd hand prices for SL2 versions seem to be noticeably higher (in Japan) than LTM and SL1 and I think SL2 availability is more limited.

The LTM version is 260g and has MFD of 1m while the SLR version is 390g and has MFD of 0.5m, the optical designs look identical and the original prices were the same based on Cosina's archives:
