Anyone compared these 2 lenses and which one do you prefer. Very hard to chose between the 2. Both great build quality. Like the focus nub on the Zeiss. Voight is also very smooth and can see he benefit of no focus tab/nobb. Seems like will help with prefocusing and developing muscle memory. Both aperture ringes smooth. Zeiss is 1.4 vs Voigt 2.0. Zeiss 2x$. ($2,390 vs $1,149), Resale value? Dont know which will be better and not a huge decision criteria. Voigtlander being an APO lens, is it supposed to be better? Like the Zeiss pop, Vightlander slightly warmer. Thanks for any feedback from users. Seems like both great lenses. -
I am having a difficult time with zone focussing for street photography. I am using SL with Zeiss 35mm f1.4 ZM. Initially I tried with f1.4 and changing focus for each shot. While it did give good results, but not fast enough to capture the scene. Next, I tried f8 and f11 at 1/125s and 1/250s with zone focussing...with 1.2m set on the left side (closest distance in focus), which gave me an in-focus distance between 1.2~2.5 m @ f8 and 1.2~3.0 @ f11. Also, tried electronic shutter always on and always off (not much difference to the image, but silent shutter is useful). Then I tried setting infinity scale on the right side @ f8 & f11, but the min focus distance is more than 2.5m. I have two issues: (a) images are not sharp even at 1/250s; and ( how to switch quickly between shallow dof and wide dof quickly? I would appreciate any inputs on what settings seems to work for you. I am new to street photography, and have no experience with RF cameras and quite slow with MF lenses. Finally, will optical VF attachment help for street photography with SL?
