My biggest issue with this lens is getting the 65mm focal length into my lens lineup. In some cases it will replace the 135/2 APO which can be a bit too long for candid portraits in confined spaces.
Now, I just need to track down a 125/2.5 to have all the CV APOs.
65/2 APO E
90/3.5 APO SL-II
125/2.5 SL (maybe)
180/4 APO SL
are there/were there anymore APO Lanthars of recent vintage that CV made?
I would pair your CV 65/2 APO with the Batis 135/2.8 APO. They have very similar APO qualities and are sharp from center to edges from wide open! (I posted some crops in other threads)
You can't get better than this. What we are lacking is a native option for the wide-angle that matches this IQ.
I know that's a tall order but the Loxia 21mm and/or Batis 18mm are pretty close, right?
No on center I don't think anything can touch it in native mount. The 65 is that good
