I bought this to use with my new OM-D E5 to get one of those beautiful low light photos one can find all over the internet. It does perform very well. Very sharp at F1.4 softer at wider aperture but gives very shallow depth of field. I use it for some creative baby photographs. Will try it outside when the spring comes. I found it easy to focus without any special techniques even looking on the screen of OM-D. Need a few shots however to capture a moving child. I cannot compare it to anything else since this is the only 25mm lens I have. This is very robust product and can last for long time.
The Voigtlander 25mm f0.95 is the best lens I have used for all around photography. It is excellent for Toy Photography as it focuses fairly close at about 4 inches. It also has a good wide view and works well for most landscape shots. I first purchased this lens used from my brother who had accidentally dropped it on the asphalt outside. I sold it a year or so later to move up to a full frame camera system. I could never quite reach the quality of image on my full frame camera as I didn’t have this lens... I saw it for a bargain and jumped on it right away. I bought it again before I realized I didn’t even have a micro four thirds camera anymore. I had given it to my son. So I traded straight up my APs-C camera to my son for the m43 back. Worth it. I’ve missed shooting this lens and I am already really satisfied with the results. This thing is built like a tank and is so worth the new price. If you can find a beat up one on eBay for less than $300 go for it. Even in lousy condition it performs better than most of my full-frame lenses.Read full review

For some reason, when you buy a used lens, the original caps are replaced with a cheap generic cap. So glad I found some on eBay. It makes the lens feel new again, and thank you for selling the original caps at a decent price too!

Bought this for my 3/4 mount Blackmagic Cinema camera. Heavy little lens but solid and beautiful. Easy to use, sturdy mount. Love this for low lighting. It feels strange paying so much for something so small... but it does do exactly what you want and the quality is high enough to where I don't feel ripped off or anything. It feels much more solid than standard canon lenses.
A great lens, it's my only one so I figured I'd get a nice one to start with! Being unable to auto-focus has made taking still rather difficult but i am primarily using it for filming and the smooth action of it's focusing is great, coupled with a stirdy build and amazkingly low apature!
