No issues with the tested sample. I have owned and used the lens myself for more than two years.



The lens has been on eBay for several weeks, but finally sold around an hour before the review was published ... I guess afterwards I could have asked for a higher price <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Looks great. If the 150/2.8 OS will be as good I'll seriously consider buying it.

And why did you sell it ? I presume either because you no longer cared for the focal length or you had a better replacement. If a replacement which lens do you now prefer (and why) ?

No, it's just that way too many lenses have accumulated here (for testing). Most of these were never intended to stay here for longer periods or personal use at all.

Is the Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 125mm f/2.5 SL also in the accumulated pile for FF testing? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Unfortunately not, no. The prices which are paid for this lens are just crazy.



I still hope, though, that Cosina someday announces a SL II version of this lens.

Totally agree about the price. But I guess some of us could lend you one for a test.



In the realm of wishes, I hope that Sony would cooperate with Voigtlander like they do with Zeiss.
