The new Voigtlander 35mm f/1.2 SE Lens for Sony is now in Stock at Amazon!

The brand new Voigtlander 35mm f/1.2 SE lens is now in Stock at Amazon US.

The series is named after “SE” (Still Edition), which specializes in still photography. It features a smaller size and lighter weight by removing the declick mechanism for movies, and a price that is lower than the normal model due to a review of the internal structure. There are changes in the appearance of the lens barrel, such as the use of parallel knurls. The Japanese site Fujiablog has posted a review with a couple of image samples.
