Fujiablog (Google translation here) published  the first review of the new Voigtlander 50mm f/2.0 APO Lanthar lens. Specs might not impress but the performance surely does. Here is the google translated conclusion:

If you limit the performance of a lens to things such as resolution, sharpness, and good omission, it is a lens that has a monster-like performance. In this blog, various lenses have been tested, but Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 50mm F2 Aspherical E-mount may be the best performing lens ever.

Chromatic aberration was also corrected well, and purple fringing was rare.

I think that the design is where the taste will be divided (I personally feel that …), but there may be a wolf-like goodness with a sheepskin (especially the hood is just a cylinder) I think it ’s not good).

Reasonable price for the performance is also a merit (50mm ultra high performance lens is often over 300,000 yen), and it is also recommended for users that that manufacturer and that manufacturer are too expensive to buy .

I looked through the viewfinder and focused on it. There is no lens suitable for this combination with SONY α7rIV! I felt that.

The lens is yet not available for preorder outside Japan…

Dpreview published the full Sony A7rIV review:

“Although the a7R IV’s borderline-bonkers 60MP of resolution grabbed most of the headlines upon its release (and understandably so), the real story here is how busy Sony has been working on refinements to the body and the interface. The result is a camera that gets out of your way much more so than any a7-series camera before it, so that you can focus on your photography and really make the most of all those megapixels on tap. For professional wedding photographers, landscape shooters and studio portraitists, the Sony a7R IV is, frankly, the camera to beat right now.”

Now let’s see what Sony will bring on the A7rV in 2/3 years….100 Megapixels?
