At the moment they made this announcement, they announced as well that they are joining the 4/3 consortium. Nokton 25mm f0.95 anyone? They are selling like hot cakes.

Cosina manufactured both Voigtlander and Zeiss K-mount lenses. No wonder that when one stopped, the other followed...

There is nothing like them at a good price. Even if I don't really like the 180.Something more like the Voigtlander APO Lanthars (but not the 90mm, it doesn't match the other two imo).
A former Voigt 125 user told me the Sigma 180 (or 150?? I am not sure) is as good as the 125.

Apparently this one is a true one:

CA is easy to eliminate via software these days. My Vivitar Series 1 28-90 really suffers from it, but otherwise is a great lens. I have a lightroom preset that zaps the CA in milliseconds.Anvh wrote:
I know you said Pentax but what about the Voigtlander SL 125mm f/2.5 APO-Lanthar?

The lens is discontinued but the new price was around 600€/US$, I think you probably end up paying that now for secondhand though.
Don't know if you had that in mind ^^;
You would end up paying 1000+$ for this lens today...if you can find one. I know you said Pentax but what about the Voigtlander SL 125mm f/2.5 APO-Lanthar?

To answer Stefan question: the Zeiss is supposed to be better wide open in the extreme corners on 24x36. On the other hand, the Zeiss is "only" a 1:2 macro lens while the Voigtlander is a 1:1. Color rendition seems to be different as well.

When situations are tricky, I tend to expose to the right and post process.
If I have time, I modify my settings to get the most appropriate (according to what I have in mind) exposure.

Thank you Peter and i-Berg.
Yep, I should have gone a little closer to the fern! You're right!

I just have a film of Lucky SHD 100 processed by the Darkroom UK.
I have to say I am a bit disappointed by the quality of the scans. I was expecting more considering their reputation. :/ Anyway, let's enjoy those shoots
A fern at Mafate
The Terre Sainte lighthouse
Facing the Ocean
Yes, the weather was bad at the time!

Hello fellow londonians!
As I said in my presentation, I just moved to London and I am currently looking for a place for processing, scanning and printing film!
I am not looking for the best (and most expensive) place but rather for the best value for money. Of course, I don't want to have scratches on my film or anything else like this!
So... where can I go? Thanks!
