Does anyone have experience with any of these gorgeous new SL lenses from Voigtlander? For Pentax fit, it seems they currently make a 180/4 APO, 125/2.5 APO, 90/3.5 APO, and a 40/2 ASPH. (A few other of their lenses are either no longer available or only fit certain Nikons.) It is interesting to see new manual focus lenses of high build quality in obscure focal lengths with modest maximum apertures (except in the case of the 125) and modest size.
http://www.cameraquest.com/Voigt%20SL.htm Ive just received the 90mm F/3.5 SL APO-Lanthar (from Stephen Gandy, whose website is above) and build quality is absolutely gorgeous! This is a heavy lens, which I like, but it does make a K1000 front-heavy. ZX-10/-50 are also front heavy but balance OK in my hands with battery grip in place. (This reminds me how I'd like to get a K2 or K2DMD...) Balance is fine on a PZ-1p ...though what an odd sight. I have not tried it out yet so I dont know about the performance. It is tempting to have both these and Pentaxs limited lenses available! Anyone else have experience or interest with these seemingly idiosyncratic lenses? __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.
