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?
Yes, I would consider the Loxia 21 in the same group. It's not as well corrected but it's also excellent for an ultra wide.
So we have Loxia 21, CV 65 and Batis 135. We need a 28 or 35 now.
Gearing up for fall colors in Yosemite.....
I just took delivery of the CV 65mm lens and and the expression that I could come up with upon reviewing the fist images is "holy smoke"! The IQ of the lens is as good or even better than I expected and I raised my expectation based on this and similar thread. Stephen (luvwine), you helped me spend my money . Now, I have two out the 3 listed you listed for the trip, Fred. But I have been resisting to get the Batis 135mm and I will take an alternative that covers the long end. There are 2 choices I am considering and I will have to decide before too long. And I am still working on the 35mm....
