The lens contentment stage

@onsplekkie

I think in some ways it having enough money to buy new lenses, but not enough to get exactly what you want, is the hardest place to be in. If you've got no budget you just stick with what you've got.

If you can get the ones you want first time, it's easier.

It's when you have to try out lots of different options that it becomes tricky. There's always some compromise. And that leads to some desire to try out something new.

Everything Voigtlander does with their APO-Lanthar lenses is exceptionally good. I expect that the 35mm will be no exception. I await your review after you succumb and buy one...(agree with your 15/4.5 review also. If you shoot at f8-11, which is a common landscape setting, it's sharp across the frame, but at wider apertures the corners are noticeably softer)

(Personally I think I'll stick with the Zeiss Loxia 35/2. The weather sealing and the 52mm filter thread matter for me).

I'll be doomed though if they ever come out with a 135mm or similar, that is of reasonable size...
