Voigtlander 21mm f/4

[wjlapier]

Anyone using the Voigtlander 21mm f/4? Are you happy with the sharpness? Any other comments about the lens? If you have any scans I'd love to see them. I just bought a S2 and really like 20mm on full frame.

Thanx--

I use the CV 21 on my S3, and am very happy with the photos I get with it. If you check out my gallery, all three of the shots posted were taken with that lens.

It's an excellent lens. You get a little bit of vignetting wide open, but it disappears quickly when stopped down a bit, and its sharper and less distorted in the corners than my now sold Nikkor AIS 20mm f2.8 was.

21 mm CV give always sharp images even if the focusing is not accurate and forgives many mistakes scene too😉 .

Filters For the 21

Filters For the 21

OK, I received my CV21 last week. I haven't taken it out yet, but have a question about filters. I want to put together a kit for B+W photography. I was condering a 43-52mm step-up for my 50 1.4 and 105 2.5, but I don't think the step-up ring will work with the 21. Anyone putting filters on the hood, and if so, what is the diameter? Has anyone put a filter on the 21 lens--looks tight in there. Thanx!

One focal question for those who alredy experienced my doubts:
I have recently got a beatiful RF NIKON S2 to side my digital equipment, and renew the fun to take pictures the way we use to in the 60's. Side by side with the 50mm, 35mm and 135mm lens equipment I should need a wide angle lens for my architectural shots. Would some of you suggest me the best choice available on the market? Of course in terms of technical value end cost! I own also a 21/4 Color Skopar (screw mount on a Bessa L), do you know if it's possible to get an adapter ring for my NIKON S2? Thanks for answer.
