I barely touched the surface with this lens even if I used it for 4 intensive days on a photo trip.
The lens options in my bag certainly did not help, since that did not force me to exploring more angles and possibilities with the 12mm FOV.
I am left wondering if I can totally cope if 12mm is my widest lens and the next focal length is a 28mm or 35mm. (in a 12mm; 35mm; 85mm combi for example)
Still lots to explore, so little time.....
Lens wise, I think the Voigtlander 12/5.6 is a gem.
A lens designed with a purpose.
No macho f2; f2.8 f-stop that makes the lens big and heavy.
A travel companion, certainly.
Perhaps its no wonder that such a lens has to come from a smaller player like Voigtlander.
The big boys of the industry are too busy with more mainstream stuff.
f5.6 on a lens can be suicidal these days when buyers pull out the spec sheets and marks down the lens without even really trying it.
I'm just glad that there are still lens makers out there who give us some variety like this 12/5.6.
First, thanks for the thread! Been silently camping a lot and it's hard to keep typing "great photo!" if every upload is so good!
Also, just wondering, what did you travel with then? I am considering bringing this VC 12, FE28 and maybe something around 80-100mm on my a7 that is small/light as I hike/camp on backpack. Believe that will cover for most landscapes! Any recommendations?
I've tried just 12mm + 50mm before but found myself missing a few shots/having to stitch, as the 12mm is quite hard to frame at times
