 Re: New Cosina Voigtländer 50/1.2 for Fuji X announced for September | |
I have the Mark II version of Mitakon 35mm/0.95...its alright, not bad for its price but it is heavy at 460g , does not have any electronic contacts and is 35mm apsc...this thread is regarding a 50mm apsc CV lens so this is apples to oranges in comparison
Its main point of comparison would be the CV 35mm/0.9 Nokton but even then the Speedmaster has a different optical design so the characteristics are going to be different, the weight is similar however and so yes the price is significantly more but for some people they will be fine with that because they prefer certain characteristics of Voigtlander rendering
As far as I know the 50mm/0.95 is not available in X-mount but if it were it is not that much less expensive than what the CV 50mm/1.2 is going to be, also it does not have electronic contacts, it is still heavier and more massive with the Mitakon @ 720g / 73x84mm vs 290g / 64x49mm for the CV
So although they are alternatives for their respective focal lengths, they do come with some compromises one must determine that they are willing to make but that is all part of gear kit assembly isn't it
