Hallo,
I'm getting ready to put stuff up for sale and considering what I really like to work with in my M-mount kit. What I've found is that the Voigtländer Color-Skopars (21/4, 28/3.5, 35/2.5, and 50/2.5) have all proven themselves to be lovely with the M4-2 on film and work great with the Ricoh GXR-M, but only the 35 and 50 work without color shifting and other problems on the M9. I really like this medium speed set of lenses for their build quality and imaging character.
One thought experiment would be to sell the M9 and some of the other excess gear to fund an M240 body. Upon revisiting the latest M at the camera shop a couple of weeks ago, I was pleasantly reminded of how much more to my liking it was compared to the M9 ... the responsiveness is key. So I'm wondering what others' who might have experimented with these Color-Skopars on the M240 thought of how well they perform together.
I doubt that I'll actually do it any time soon, if at all, but I like these lenses a lot on film. They do work reasonably well on the Sony A7 body albeit with some color shifting problems, so I usually don't shoot anything intended for color with them. I'm curious as to how the new sensor in the M240 handles them.
thanks in advance!
