Diglloyd is testing the new Voigtlander 21mm f/1.4 lens and writes:
“Yes, you want this lens, right now! This is the best 21mm f/1.4 I have ever seen. Well, probably the best 21mm lens of any speed (DSLR or mirrorless) that I have seen.”
Fred Miranda also tested the new lens and concludes:
Is the new Voigtlander 21/1.4 Nokton the new king of the hill at 21mm?
In terms of resolution and contrast, the Voigtlander 21/1.4 Nokton performs very similar if not better than the Zeiss Loxia 21/2.8 which is something no other E-mount lens was able to achieve until now. It’s taller and 166g heavier than the Loxia but in exchange, it’s capable of gathering 4 times more light and field curvature is super low.
Compared to the Sony FE 24/1.4 GM, the CV 21/1.4 is sharper at the center at wider apertures and is capable of higher contrast but can’t compete with the FE 24/1.4 GM’s smooth rendering, especially at mid-distance. Wide open, It’s also not as sharp away from center compared to the GM.
Marc Alhadeff writes:
The Voigtländer 21mm F1.4 Nokton (1400 euros) is one of the best wide angle lens of its category (20-21mm) , one that is a pleasure to use and with results that will always positively surprise you when viewed on a big screen.
Sounds super! Want to get my hands on it too :)
The new Voigtlander Nokton 21mm f/1.4 FE lens is in Stock at Amazon, BHphoto and Adorama.

Both the manual focus and autofocus versions of the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 FE lens got a new firmware update:
And Marc Alhadeff tested the autofocus version of the lens:
The Viltrox 85mm F1.8 PFU RMBH STM (379 euros) is an very good AF lens for portraits for which it will give superb results :
For a first AF lens , AF performances are good (like Sigma or First Samyang lenses) without being as reliable as a Sony or latest Samyang
Performances are globally excellent (same as Viltrox 85mm F1.8 PFU RMBH MF) and as you have seen in the samples provided, very close to the Sony FE85mm F1.4 GMPros
Very good to Excellent sharpness
Beautiful color rendition
Very pleasing and soft blurry background ,
Very good bokeh,
Good price
Very good build quality,
EXIF transmitted to the body,
Fast and silent AF
Strong vignetting but corrected via the Lightroom Zeiss Batis 85mm profile
Good resistance to flareMedium
AF reliable in 80% of the case @F1.8 : good but not as excellent as the Sony or Samyang 85mm
Moderate CA when facing sunFor 379 euros against 630 euros for the Sony 85mm F1.8 , the Viltrox will give you a better blurry background and bokeh but with a less good AF
Up to you to see which criteria from Price, AF, Bokeh are the most important for you
An excellent optics considering its price and a brand to follow up !
You get this Tamron 28-75mm lens for 704 Euro only if you use the checkout code “PREISOPT6”. The seller is a trusted German store!
