As much as Voigtlander lenses are praised here, they have the worst resale, even worse than cheap plastic lenses from Rokinon/Samyang that are almost always heavily discounted shortly after release. I have 50/1.2 and i am not planning to sell it, but i know i will lose the most money on it.
35 APO is not as high on my list as GM and Sigma and knowing how quickly value on Voigtlander lenses decline, I definitely won't buy it new.
I agree completely that resale on Voigtlander is bad, almost as bad as Loxia. I am really surprised by that especially when lenses like the Sony 20mm f1.8 seem to hold value so well.
Well, I personally think the Loxia line's MSRP is over-priced to begin with, while the Voigtlander' MSPR isn't bad at all for the quality/aperture of their lenses, they just suck big time in resale. I agree with Tim, it may be because of the AF/MF thing, and also the rapidly increasing options from Sony and Sigma, AND from Voigtlander ITSELF.
Anyway, I bought a third party screw-in lens hood for my Sigma 35 f2 after seeing @mystic's with this hood on the A7C, really good looking combo. I like the screw-in hood that allows rotation of the CPL without having to remove the hood every time.
