Just posted in my review of the Nikon D800 is an evaluation of the Voigtlander 90mm F/3.5 SL II APO-Lanthar on the Nikon D800.
Anyone looking for a very high performance lens at relatively low price which is compact and lightweight should take a look at the 90/3.5. It is a manual focus lens, but is “chipped” for electronic aperture control.
At about $549, the Voigtlander 90/3.5 offers tremendous value in terms of image quality and compactness and size/weight. It is also available from Stephen Gandy over at CameraQuest.com.
Get one while you can, because it is apparently discontinued.
Given its high performance, this is one lens I’m likely to re-test on the Nikon D800E.
See my list of Nikon gear with in-stock status at B&H Photo.
