Not everyone who really enjoys photography is going to also love Voigtlander lenses, after all as you say they are manual focus, big, heavy, and built like a precision built tank. No, not everyone, but I am happy I share your passion for these fabulous lens. I presently have three: the 17.5mm (my favorite and most used), the fabulous 25mm, and a rather small manual focus Voigtlander Helier 75mm f2.5. I should say I came really close to also buying the Voigtlander 42.5mm, but got a case of laziness so wet with the automatic focus Nocticron 42.5mm f1.2 instead (what can I say???).

I do love my Voigtlander's though, and it is a rare time indeed when one of these beautifully made lens isn't on my GH3 or my E-M1. They have helped make photography fun for me.

Thanks for sharing your story and review.

Dale
