Greeting All. I have always been the type to try maintain the same brand when setting up a particular lens kit. Generally I find that a lens line share a character to them so I try to achieve a consistency through the focal lengths for that kit. But there is always that one lens that isnt offered for whatever reason, maybe that focal length isnt offered, you want something smaller or matching a filter thread size or maybe just on price, so you look to an alternate brand for that focal length. It may even be age difference such as those who love the 40mm Summicron from the 70's using it with a set of modern ASPH Leica lenses. I have had to do this for my Nikon RF kit in that the Voigtlander 21mm was the best option in a range of classic Nikon lenses. I also had to do the same for my Leica kit to get 39mm filters across the board and I have seen many argent Leica users with a special Biogon-C 21 in the kit to replace the larger Leica offerings. So I thought it would be nice to hear from those how that odd lens fits in with the rest of their lens range. Do you see any character difference in your images? Do you cover the difference in post processing? Does that lens simply blend in flawlessly? I think quite a few people have second thoughts about that odd lens when in the market so I thought we could discuss those successes and those that just didnt work for you? Lets Chat.
