Voigtlaender 90mm APO-Lanthar SLII Test - dave9t5 - 05-07-2012 Hi Klaus, re: http://forum.photozone.de/index.php?/topic/1922-next-pz-lens-test-report-voigtlander-ultron-40mm-f2-sl-ii/page__view__findpost__p__15284 Any update on this test? Voigtlaender 90mm APO-Lanthar SLII Test - mst - 05-07-2012 The lens has since been discontinued, that's why you'll only see a FX review, but not also one on the 5D Mark II. -- Markus Voigtlaender 90mm APO-Lanthar SLII Test - dave9t5 - 05-07-2012 [quote name='mst' timestamp='1336406763' post='18057'] The lens has since been discontinued, that's why you'll only see a FX review, but not also one on the 5D Mark II. -- Markus [/quote] Oh snap! I didn't know that happened!

[/quote] Interesting, where did you find the 28/2.8? The 75/1.8 is overdue, I think, that was first mentioned ages ago. -- Markus Voigtlaender 90mm APO-Lanthar SLII Test - goran h - 05-07-2012 [quote name='mst' timestamp='1336406763' post='18057'] The lens has since been discontinued, that's why you'll only see a FX review, but not also one on the 5D Mark II. -- Markus [/quote] Strange, look here: http://www.voigtlaender.de/cms/voigtlaender/voigtlaender_cms.nsf/id/pa_skor796kzp.html Göran Voigtlaender 90mm APO-Lanthar SLII Test - mst - 05-07-2012 Yes, the German site still lists it as current, but Cosina (the main site in Japan) as discontinued: http://www.cosina.co.jp/seihin/voigt/english/dispo.html -- Markus Voigtlaender 90mm APO-Lanthar SLII Test - dave9t5 - 05-07-2012 [quote name='mst' timestamp='1336409204' post='18060'] Interesting, where did you find the 28/2.8?

Here is the SLII page: http://cameraquest.com/Voigt_SL2.htm Highlights (news to me): - The 20mm, 40mm and 58mm lenses are getting revised (SLII N) with metal focusing barrels similar to the M-mount lenses and yellow distance scale numbers(IMHO, ugly compared to the silver knurled SL or the black rubber SLII barrels), compare: Probably Zeiss complained that the SLII lenses looked to similar to their ZK lenses. - 28mm lens mentioned (between the 20mm and 40mm lenses). - 75mm f/1.8 lens - 90mm f/3.5 discontinued <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Also, I didn't know about this mFT, maybe it's old news: http://www.cameraquest.com/voigt_m43_17.htm Voigtlaender 90mm APO-Lanthar SLII Test - soborodin - 06-21-2012 What a wonderful lens!
