Hello Everyone.
I have been researching 35mm lenses to add to my kit. The only 35 mm I have is an Olympus M 35 mm f/2.8. It is good but the weakest of my Olympus lenses. I do not want to spend $1000 or more for a lens.
I have settled in on two Voigtlander lenses the, Nokton Classic 35 mm f/1.4 for $560 and the Color-Skopar 35mm f/2.5 for $409. These meet my goal of staying close to $500. Looking at the images between the two I have found online, I have developed a bit of a preference but not an overwhelming feeling of this one is better than that. Partially because of the difficulty of sorting out images that have been taken with a full frame. I use an A6000 and an A7II. I use them both, so the chosen lens will be used on both. My pictures are an eclectic collection of people, Family gatherings, outdoors anywhere candids, and museums and still life.
I realize this is a personal opinion I am asking for on these lenses. But, I have looked at everyones images and have a great appreciation for your abilities and skills with a camera. Therefore your opinions count with me.
Which have you used and your thoughts about the lens? If you had one and sold it... Would you buy another of the same or the other?
Thanks for reading this far. It is appreciated.
