Sigma 35mm 1.2 Art – Voigtländer VM 35mm 1.2 III – Voigtländer VM 35mm 1.7 + 5m PCX Vignetting light falloff Most parts seem to be made from metal and all markings are engraved and filled with paint.įrom the Voigtlander E-mount lenses we are used that there is a metal hood in the package, this is usually not the case with the M-mount lenses and the 35mm 1.2 III is no exception.Ĭonsidering the specifications we are dealing with a very small lens here, this becomes very obvious when we compare the Voigtlander VM 35mm 1.2 III to the Sigma 35mm 1.2 Art.īut the new VM 35mm 1.2 III even compares favourably to the Voigtlander VM 35mm 1.7, having the same length and being only a bit bigger in diameter and 95g more in terms of weight. It travels about 120° from f/1.2 to f/22. The aperture ring has 1/2 stop click stops which I think is a good compromise. The focus ring has perfect resistance and travels ~130° from the minimum focus distance (0.5 m) to infinity. So far none of the Voigtlander lenses disappointed in this category and this holds true for this new 35mm 1.2 III as well. Handling / Build Quality Voigtlander VM 35mm 1.2 III
