My new Voigtlander 25/4p

[chrishayton]

Bought this lens on saturday (traded in my canon eos 3) from Real Camera Co. in Manchester.
Awesome lens, and ideal FOV for street photography. Bit more discreet than the 35mm f1.2 (my only other lens)

Would be nice to see other peoples experience and photos with this lens

edit images should now work.

I agree, the Skopar 25mm 1:4 is a great lens, it has just big depth of field, and just very good to take snapshots. I really like it. I took it with a Minolta CLE. Also is very compact, can put into any pocket. It is just a lovely small lens like the Summicron-C 40 MM. Mr. House

Which viewfinder are you using? Just curious.

I don't take an extern Viewfinder, just use the viewfinder of the Minolta CLE, it fits almost the focal length.

 

[chrishayton]

Not currently using one. Just estimating using the edges of the finder (and a little looking around). Gonna try and pick up a voigtlander one when I can afford it though

It's a lens I find very useful, especially for travel and street photography. I actually had two of them, one LTM and the other M mount. I just put the LTM one on sale at Mainline here in Sydney, but I kept the CV viewfinder as I sometimes swop the lens onto my R3A which doesn't have framelines for it.
