 Re: FM Review: Voigtlander 90mm f/2.8 APO-Skopar | |
I was able to get out yesterday to the Trexler Nature Preserve and ran some quick tests comparing both my new Voigtlander 90mm f2.8 Apo-Skopar VM and my Zeiss 85mm f4 Tele-Tesar ZM lenses. Unfortunately, I do not have a location similar to that used by Fred so that I can angle my camera. I have done the best that I could for something that I could think of close by.
Also, due to what was photographed, infinity focus was deep into the images and high in the photos and as a result, there is a lot of shallow depth of field in the foreground of the images and I did not prepare a centered image of the work at 100%.
So, I am not sure how much value can be assessed from these photos. Additionally you can definitely see the difference in the focal length of the 85mm Zeiss and the 90mm Voigtlander lenses. Both lenses appear to be centered based upon my indoor tests viewing a wall hanging. Images taken with my tripod mounted A1 and each of the lenses. First set of photos taken with the Voigtlander and second set taken with the Zeiss. Images were taken between 3:37 and 3:50 PM.
All Images are SOC using LR defaults.
The results will be posted one atop of the other and not side by side and will be posted in a number of postings. Additionally, for the testing I shot 2 sets of photos, one focused at infinity at the infinity stop of the lens and the second set with the lenses focused somewhat closer.
Photos were taken near the top of the Trexler Nature Preserve looking across a field, fenced 4 Acre American Chestnut test Grove, and across the preserve into the distance.
The first set of photos are taken with the Voigtlander 90mm f2.8 Apo Skopar lens alone as the lens has an aperture of f2.8 while the Zeiss maximum aperture is f4.
