For Voigtlander, I think I may start ordering three copies of a lens and only keeping the best one. They don't have sealed packaging of any kind, so not really a bad faith thing to do I don't think. Can't do that with Leica, though, since they are sealed and restocking fees apply should they all be good copies. For Leica, it makes me want to start buying used and then send them straight away for a CLA. If you're in a position to do that then you're in luck. Leica doesn't sell any product sealed in South Africa. It's just a box, without the paper outer box. Hardly any stock of anything M related, and any order that isn't in stock takes 6 weeks or more to arrive. I'm so over Leica's horrid quality control. My latest order over Christmas of the APO 50mm was the last straw; That copy was seriously disappointing. Voigtlander for me needs to be ordered from UK or BHPhoto, and I can't return any faulty item since shipping from here is stupendously pricey making it uneconomical. But Voigtlander QC has far exceeded that of Leica products from my experience. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ru2far2c Posted February 2, 2023 Share #349 Posted February 2, 2023 I hope it is a touch better than my Nocitlux 50mm ƒ1.0 E 58. I have the 75mm ƒ1.5 Voigtlander in silver, and the focus ring does not have much resistance. I like the lens and the way it renders. The VM 50mm ƒ1.0 look nice. @M Street PhotographerBesides it may be 3-4 months before I'm anywhere close to a store that may have them in stock.

Adam Bonn Posted February 6, 2023 Share #353 Posted February 6, 2023 OK I'm going to post far too many images (sorry, but it felt like spring today and I had a time budget so I went a bit snap happy) and I'm back home now, so more light and colours!! These are all shot with the M9 and AFAIK all wide open... I used a 2stop ND filter, which wasn't always enough (with the M10R you can nearly use no ND at all and trust in the exposure latitude, no such luck with the M9, but then it vignettes less than the 10R, so -as ever- win some/lose some when we compared two things that do the same job Welcome, dear visitor!
