This is one very gorgeous lens. As Voigtlanders go this one is extremely nice quality in fit, finish. build and handling. If the sun ever shines again I shall post some samples. |

Very nice! Supposed to be a sweet lens (optically) as well. Definitely looking forward to samples. |

There was some grousing about that knurled focus ring but in use I find it very nice. Instead of searching for a focus tab or wrapping your fingers around a relatively smooth ring your finger hits a detent no matter where on the ring you touch it. A nice feature. It renders just like a Summilux 50. Focusing is smooth and consistent throughout it's range. |

I can see the knurling causing a stir... As long as it's not sharp-edged, I think it's nice. Like you said, it goes all the way around and provides a great grip. It reminds one of the "Steer" by Leicagoodies. Photos look nice; sharp. |

Wow, nice! You can't complain about those results. Sharp, lovely bokeh and CA seems very well handled. I think you've got a keeper. |
