11 months ago |I LOVE Voigtlander! I only have 3 lenses; the Voigtlander 20,40,&90. They are beautifully made and render a beautiful image. I’m excited that Voigtlander keeps putting out these quality lenses for Canon EF. Unfortunately this isn’t a focal length that interests me. My next Voigtlander purchase will be the 58mm 1.4 when it finally comes for EF mount! This is exciting none the less.

11 months ago |Bob. Yep, the EF mount lenses DO have focus confirmation! It’s really made my not miss autofocus at all, I can focus quite fast with these and feel very confident I nailed it as soon as the focus confirmation beeps. Super easy, plus the manual focusing is a dream compared to normal Canon/nikon lenses. All in my opinion of course. But you can see most people agree. Oh, just saw you have the Zeiss 21, this will work essentially the same. Focus confirmation, Exif data, Aperture is controlled by the camera and not by a manual dial on the lens for the EF version. Hope that helps!

11 months ago |As for the size this looks like about the same as the 40mm, which is super small. I love the small size! Even the 90 is small for a medium telephoto. I know the Zeiss lenses for Canon are incredible, but they’re also have the size and weight to go along with that. That’s fine sometimes, but I love traveling light. And the Voigtlanders help me do that. Anyway if you’re intrigued by the size, you should try it! It’s addicting.

11 months ago |Thanks for all of your input Jeff. it is swaying me to consider this lens. The reviews on ALL 28mm lenses for FF Canon Cameras are nothing to write home about. Seems all manufacturers concentrate their quality optics more on the 35mm & 24mm focal lengths. Cosidering the Voigtlander’s small size in the equation, I think I may take one of these lenses for a spin when it’s available and see what I think….

11 months ago |Frank….any reviews or third party info regarding this lens…I am WAY more interested in this lens than the Canon 40 mm pancake….I need to read someone’s take on the lens. Thanks.

11 months ago |Pretty expensive for a manual focus lens that’s no faster than f/2.8. I’m sure we’ll hear how it has great microcontrast and a “look” that rivals Zeiss… meh…

Cheers!
