Published in DAP is a new comparison on the Canon 5D Mark III of the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Pancake Lens to the Voigtlander 40mm f/2 SL II.

Both lenses have admirable optical qualities, and I deem the about $199 Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM a no-brainer for every Canon user. There are reasons to prefer the Voigtlander 40mm f/2 Ultron SL II, particularly for video users.
