Voigtländer 21mm f/3.5 FE review by Marc Alhadeff: “very good wide angle lens”

Share

Voigtlander Color Skopar 21mm f/3.5 E-mount lens at Amazon and BHphoto. In Europe at PCHstore.

Marc Alhadeff tested the new Voigtländer 21mm f/3.5 FE lens:

The Voigltänder 21mm F3.5 Color Skopar (750 Euros) is a very good wide angle lens

Pros

  • Compact and light (very discrete)
  • Very good  build construction like all Voigtländer,
  • Sharpness: very good to excellent
  • Low CA , very good resistance to flare
  • Reasonable distorsion
  • Good Color rendition
  • Very good sunstars effect when closed down

Cons

  • Heavy lens fall off wide open that never completely disappear
  • Background blur can be somewhat nervous depending of the subject
  • A little bit lower contrast and sharpness than the excellent Zeiss Loxia 21mm F2.8

MIRRORLESS WARS II: Canon vs Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Panasonic!

Share

Tony and Chelsea write:

The first round of the mirrorless wars are over – Canon released the EOS R, Nikon released the Z7 (and announced the Z6), Panasonic announced the S1 and S1R, and Fuji launched the X-T3. We were there at the events as the camera companies battled to win back the full-frame market from Sony. We think some of the camera companies did a great job, while others made some serious mistakes.
