Still classic
This is the classic Zeiss Sonnar lens and if you want the "Sonnar" look, this is the way to get it. Superbly high quality build and worth the money.

Heck of a nice classic lens
This is a wonderful historical lens, extremely well-built, operates beautifully, a joy to use on modern Leica cameras, if you are looking for a classic Tessar design

80% of the quality of the Noctilux, assuming it's properly adjusted, and you like collecting butterflies.
1 of 2 found this helpful According to independent MTF charts published by Roger Cicala, who is in a position to know, this lens is about 80% as good as the Leica F0.96 Noctilux, which I have also used. The Noctilux is an amazing lens, creamy and beautiful wide open. The Voigtlander is good too, but has a couple of shortcomings:
First, it is great for butterfly collectors, because you will see new species of butterflies all over the perimeter. They are coma. The Noctilux, on the other hand is great for mushroom collectors, because its coma takes the form of mushrooms, though they are smaller and less evident.
Second, the focus adjustment is sometimes off. I had to send my copy out to a lens repairman to be adjusted. Use the focus peaking rather than the rangefinder, if you want to be sure.
Other than that, the Voigtlander is an excellent lens, well-made and amazingly good quality considering the low cost compared with the Noctilux. Once the focus is adjusted I expect to get a lot of use out it. May shoot it with an EVF to be sure I see what I get.
