In review of the excellent reviews of the new Voigtlander APO lenses available for the M, is the Leica APO 50/2.0 worth seven times the price in today's world in terms of IQ?
Many lenses of today offer excellent image quality rarely seen 8-10 years ago when Leica M lenses had the reputation of being the best. The best at what today? Old reputations? High prices?
I have never shyed away from spending plenty on truly excellent lenses as I have owned 3 of the Leica APO 50/2.0 M lenses over the years. But I just wonder if a side by side test on an M10 variant body will show why spending over $8k on the APO Leica is worth it instead of spending just over $1k on the APO Voigtlander.
Can anyone who OWNS BOTH LENSES please chime in. Thanks.
