Voigtlander 35mm f/2.5 Skopar Classic (black) | $233.95 | |  |
The 35/2.5 C is a delightful lens, very small, and with a quick focusing lever like the 25/4, because it is built on the 25/4 lens barrel ! Unlike the 25/4, this lens is rangefinder coupled, but without click stopped focus points. Optics betwee
n the "Pancake" and "Compact" 35/2.5's are the same, 7 elements in 5 groups. The Compact focuses very close to just under 2.5 feet, and weighs only 4 1/2 oz. -- roughly half the size and weight of the 35/1.7 Ultron. Unlike the 35/2.5 Pancake versi
on, a sunshade is included with each lens. Note the Leica styled "35" on the lens barrel, to help prevent confusion with the identical sized 25/4. It has a field of view of 63 degrees, and 10 aperture blades. Filters are used by sandwiching the filt
er between the hood and the lens. The 35/2.5 C is slightly smaller and lighter than the 35/2.5 P, and uses 39mm filters instead of 43 mm filters. The 39mm filter size is important if you like to use filters, since 39mm filters are fit the 21/4, 25/4, 3
5/1.7, 75/2.5, 90/3.5, and numerous Leica lenses (if they are also in your camera bag).
