Voigtlander 25mm Snapshot-Skopar f/4 35mm Primes 

DESCRIPTION

The Skopar, a radical lens also once desired by many camera enthusiasts, is making a return as a dedicated quick-focus lens. It has a built-in focus click-stop mechanism, which is a powerful feature in snapshot photography. Simply checking the position of the lever at one of the focus click-stop positions of 3m, 1.5m, or 1.0m can set the focus.

Strength:

Very sharp even to the edges,good contrast and color saturation.Very light and small.Well made.

Weakness:

Slow but if it was faster it would be more expensive and be much larger.

For the money you can't touch this lens. From my experience and from what I've read as good as any but the very latest Leica lenses made in the last few years. After I got used to the lens not rangefinder coupled I find I can shoot faster than ever. The only problem is the viewfinder is very low standard. Plastic and flimsey. I had to put a piece of tape about 10-15 % of the way down from the top because I found myself cutting off the tops of the subjects I was shooting.
