Photozone has fallen in love with the new Sony NEX camera :)
They reviewed 4 third-party manual focus lenses in few days. And Photozone will not stop here: “We’ll test most of the Voigtlander lineup plus a few [shoplink 3255]Zeiss ZMs[/shoplink] & Leica Ms.”
Read the following four reviews:
1) [shoplink 3987]Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5[/shoplink] on Sony NEX (click here to read the review).
Photozone writes: “its execution is next to perfect and you can feel that it was made with passion” and “In optical terms it is certainly an impressive lens“.

2) [shoplink 3990]Voigtlander Heliar 50mm f/3.5[/shoplink] on Sony NEX (click here to read the review) .
Photozone writes: “In technical terms it is still a very good performer and roughly comparable to the Zeiss and Leica 50mm lenses“.

3) [shoplink 3991]Voigtlander Ultra-Wide Heliar 12mm f/5.6[/shoplink] Aspherical II on Sony NEX (click here to read the review).
Photozone writes: “The lens is extremely sharp in the image center and still good in the image borders/corners.” and ” The primary weakness of the Heliar is the heavy amount of light fall-off combined with a slight color shift in the image corners.”

4) [shoplink 3992]Zeiss Planar ZM T* 50mm f/2[/shoplink] on Sony NEX (click here to read the review).
Photozone writes: “The center resolution is on a very high level at large aperture settings and the borders are pretty good here.”
