Hi everyone,
I have the opportunity to pick up either of the two 28mm M-mount lenses for roughly the same price.
As I understand it, the Zeiss is going to be the sharper of the two, but to be frank, I'm not sure if I love the clinical sharp look. It has a focus nub, which is a benefit for zone focusing (?). Have only heard great things about this lens!
The Konica M-Hexanon came up randomly and I dug a lot into it. It sounds promising, with some people calling it a clone of the pre-ASPH v3 Elmarit. My only issue is there is no focusing nub or tab.
Can someone who has owned both at some point comment on their pros and cons? I won't be considering the CV line because they're more expensive (or rather, the deals I've stumbled upon are way cheaper than any of the 28mm options from Voigtlander, new or used).
Thanks in advance!
