Re: Voigtländer 50mm f2 apo VS Zeiss Loxia 50mm f2
I'm not sure I processed these exact shots, but I wanted to do a little processing on these as possible, so I just grabbed JPEGs from the RAWs via PhotoMechanic. When I did process shots from this trip, I found I did less work on the Loxia shots, and I tried to make the CV shots look like the Loxia shots. I'm happy with the CV 35 & 50, but if people say the prefer the color with the Loxias, I'm not sure you can completely discount that they have that preference. I can easily pick out the CV 35 & 50 as they look very similar. The Loxia 25 shot to me does look different. They all can produce great results.
A lot can be done via post processing, but you start with what a lens/camera gives you. Would I have tried to make the CV's look more like the Loxia shot if I hadn't shot the Loxia? Probably not. Would I have been happy with the CV 35/50 shots if I just processed them along, yes. Some of this maybe be subtle, but there may be reasons why some people say they like the Zeiss colors. Just my humble opinion.
