Eye Manual Focus – 5
I replaced my heavy Leica 90mm f/2 APO Summicron-M lens with the lighter, less expensive and equally sharp, and eminently more usable Voigtlander 90mm f/2.8 Apo Skopar a couple of years ago. The max aperture of f/2.8 is obviously the one thing lacking in this lens, but that is the price to pay for compactness and less weight. Apart from that, this is a world-class lens.
Fortunately, my copy of the CV 90 lens works very well with the rangefinder coupling in my M11 camera. For critical focusing, especially in low light, the EVF certainly helps. But most of the time I can focus with just the rangefinder, which is how I try to use this lens as much as possible.
