Re: FM Review: Voigtlander 90mm f/2.8 APO-Skopar


Thanks for your comment. I would be interested to see your photos from the 90, and a comparison with the 180. Shortly before the 90 Skopar was announced I bought a nice Loxia 85 for a good price to fill a hole in my prime lineup of Voigtlanders: 21/1.4, 40/1.2, and 180/4 APO. Initially was a little disappointed that I had missed the new Voigtlander. But I now see the Loxia for what it is: an excellent short zoom, but a little heavier than I would prefer. I am also a fan of the slower Sigma lenses.
If the Voigtlander 90 Skopar stands up at middle distances I am in for a dilema. Obviously I like Voigtlanders in general, and the 90 is smaller and lighter than the Loxia.
There was a lot of interest in the Skopar at its announcement, and some mixed reviews at its introduction, but very little since. Thus my post from earlier today. There has been almost no follow up since December. Having a suitable lens in the Loxia I am not about to invest in a pretty much unknown lens without reason.
