Love your work!!! I have an XPRO3 with a 35mm f2 lens. Looking for a very small lens to make the camera more compact and discreet for street shots. Do you think the VL 18 or 27 would be a better companion lens? Both seem the same size (physically) I was leaning to the Fuji 27mm pancake otherwise - but would have gone with a Fuji 18mm if it had been the same size. Not super comfortable with manual focus but willing to learn!
I know they are of different focal length but between this and the 27mm f2 what do you recommend to get as my first manual focus only lens for my XT3? I have the XF33mm f1.4 just to note
I don't own a XF18mm F2 but I did have some time with it. I think the Voigtlander is a sharper lens and also better control optically. Again the XF18mm is a 10 years old lens. If you could live with its a manual lens and it's a F2.8 instead of F2, the Voigtlander is certainly a worthy contender.
@@chiliandsiomaiThis is all subjective. The difference between good and great is just that little bit. To the photographers or professional; this little bit means the world to them.
Finally an 18 mm 🎉
I have the 27mm and love it! Already considering this one.
Its a worthy consideration.
Love the lens. Good examples. Dig the music. Did you play the drums?
Thanks. I don't play the drums. Maybe someday.

It looks so good with the XPRO!
Yes indeed.
Hi, do you see guide lines in the OVF with the X-Pro 3 ? Any parallax correction ? Best regards
$550 Dollars!! Lawd have mercy. Looks extremely good looking though. I wish they would make a 23mm F2.0 that has this same size.
Why not going with the 27mm
Can't wait!
Does the lens have parallax correction when using the hybrid OVF on the X-Pro3 like the other Voigtlander lenses for the X mount?

There we go. Would you have any thoughts about comparing it with the fuji 18/2 in terms of image quality?

@@FujiFanBoys thanks for the reply; would you say the difference in sharpness is quite significant?

@FujiFanBoys How do the two compare with respect to rendering? I here the fuji 18mm is similar to the fuji 35mm 1.4, which I love.
Does the focus stop right at infinity?
yes it does. this is also important to me.
Is it WR?
No its not.
grrrr
I bought the lens. It is great for street photography (which is what I do). I recommend you buy another microphone. This sounds awful.
