Al404 Posted August 5, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 5, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm still using my Sony A7C but I would like to migrate some of my lens to M mount because I'm waiting to find a deal on M240 I can probably buy an used Voigtlander 28mm f2 v1 for about half the price of v2 and I was wondering if I should just get straight to the latest and greatest from what I can see online v2 seems sharper especial on mid and and border but I could not find a side by side comparison Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 Hi Al404, Take a look here Voigtlander 28mm f2 v2 vs v1. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Boojay Posted August 6, 2021 Share #2 Posted August 6, 2021 I tried to find a side by side comparison but other than a couple of you tubers videos, (who only verbalised their opinion on improvements) there is the smaller size and weight, closer minimum focus distance and improved aspherical elements as quoted on the CV website. I recently bought version 2 and can only add that I'm very happy with it's performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq7z9kcHWlM 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al404 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted August 6, 2021 I did watch a lot of YouTube video and Benj Haisch did reported on his video that v1 is great on film but on M240, especially in corners, it was possible to see some smear and aromatic aberration Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of an aha moment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al404 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted August 6, 2021 I saw that too 😃 but I don't know how Summicron V2 is VS Voigtlander V1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldwino Posted August 6, 2021 Share #6 Posted August 6, 2021 I had the V1 Voigtlander 28/2 and I didn't care for it at all. I remember some focus shift, and that it wasn't particularly good at close distances. I think (hope) the V2 has fixed these issues. It is getting good reviews, and is a lens I am looking at purchasing in the near future. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abram Posted August 6, 2021 Share #7 Posted August 6, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am totally happy with the 28mm V2. I have tried the 28mm V1 but I never particularly cared for it. as Oldwino mentioned above, it definitely had focus shift issues, and to be blunt I just didn’t like the rendering or the build/handling of the lens. The V2 is more of a spiritual successor to the older 28mm f/1.9 Ultron (the LTM version) which personally I was a great fan of years back. This new V2 is built beautifully and focuses smoothly. I’m still in the early days of getting to know it but I am absolutely pleased with it for the price. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
