its supply and demand. Seriously, this lens is so beautiful that I get orgasm just looking at it. Not many lens give you that hi feeling. I wouldn't part with it even if you pay me 3k.
I am going to gaffer it with this . It is going to be so pretty that it BOOMZ!
I just got it so have not really started using it. This is a test shot that I took close up (not macro). The focus is on the eyes of teddy. Taken at f2.5. This lens is just so smooth. turning the focus ring is smooth, the colour rendered is so smooth, the transition between shadow and highlight is so smooth, the bokeh is so smooth. This lens is a smooth operator.
The lens is calling out to you now, " hush, hush, hurry, hurry come to me. You got to take me home "
There was only one other lens that gave me a similar feel good when I touched and used it - the Contax Carl Zeiss 85mm 1.4, but the Voight is vastly superior is so many ways.
