[62 mm (Front)] I have three of the other Voigtlander lenses - 10.5, 17.5 and 42.5 f0.95. I like them all for many applications. Wide open, however, they have a slightly diffused quality but stopped down to f1.8 or smaller aperture they sharpen up enormously.

The 60 is entirely different. When I first looked through the lens wide open and focused, it seemed like f2 (even f2.2) on the other lenses - really sharp with lots of pop. The 60mm is more of a telephoto on M4/3 but close focuses for near macro magnification.

It is quite heavy, but manageable, and is very firm and precise in its handling. I can see how someone could not run around with this lens trying to follow fast and changing action. The focus throw is too long and not built for speed. But if you are shooting from a tripod for video, I can see how this lens brings lots to the table.

I am loving it. It is the best optical quality wide open of any lens I have ever owned (including many other brands). Unique lens for unique circumstances - a blast to use for many types of shooting.

[13] Build quality and good quality for the price

[f/0.95] Pros:
1. The good solid build and heavy lens.
2. Bokeh is solid.
3. A good pick-up for the price (Im leaving it in my bag now, over the Sony FE 50mm).

Cons:
Flaring is very noticeable.
That odd F/8-22 jump on the dial

[f/16] Does everything I need. Beautiful wild angles. The quality of the product is amazing, I take it everywhere. Did great in the mountains of Utah in very cold and snowy conditions. All in all perfect for me, and an amazing price!

[Manual Focus] great glass; easy to use; love the aperture; focus ring is very easy to use...great way of teaching me manual focus 101; and finally love the price of this lens; and the brand.

[1.095 lb] It's just great, character, bookeh, sharpness.

Handling alone is a reason to get it, and you just WANT to take it and use it, photography is not just about taking pictures.


It's a prolonging pleasure to use this lens and to look at its results. I'm using it nearly all time wide open, the character - due to razor thin focus length is fantastic. If I had to choose it between the 42.5mm I would keep the 60mm.


Did I mention it also looks stunning? - even better than on pictures.


Once you have it in hands you will not let it go - lens like this is a reason to stick with mft.

[32°] I bought this lens because I’m currently unable to afford first-party Z glass or F glass. It is a great performer at its price point and really fun to use. My only gripe is that it feels a bit too small, but that isn’t much of issue.

[62 mm (Front)] If you are the type of photographer who likes to mount old 35mm film lenses to your digital camera to obtain a unique look, this lens is for you. The Voiglander 60mm is a modern take on that approach. Built indestructible, the images are clean (free of defect) with some softness providing you with that uniqueness you don't achieve with razor sharp lens such as the OMD 45mm F/1.2 Pro. It's close focusing radius also gives it a 'macro like' performance for close ups. If I want a unique photograph that takes outstanding portraits, this is my go-to lens.
