Voigtlander Color-Skopar 20mm f/3.5 SL ASPH

Just arrived, the new Voigtlander Color-Skopar 20mm f/3.5 SL ASPH, courtesy of a reader who traded a loan of 3 weeks for my subscription offerings—a win-win for both of us

I’ll be reporting on the 20/3.5 in DAP as well as here. I’ve already done some shooting and comparisons, results to follow within a few days.

My initial impressions: what a gem! Build quality like the Zeiss ZF line, and it’s diminutive, about 1/3 the size of the Zeiss ZF 21/2.8 Distagon, and I like that a lot—it makes me want to carry it, just like the Voigtlander 40mm f/2 Ultron ASPH.

Optically, I can’t say just yet, but I will soon figure that out, and it should prove interesting next to both the Zeiss ZF 21/2.8 Distagon and the old Nikon 20/3.5 AI-S.
