[Leica] 21mm lens purchase decision Super Angulon vs Color Skopar

[chris williams]

21/4 Skopar color shifts on edges. I would get the 21/1.9 CV.

I’ve shot it all so far with a Voigtlander 15 which is a bit of a pain in the rear because of the color shifting and also it’s often a bit _too_ wide. So I’d been thinking of a Voigtlander color skopar f4, and then a neighbor on my block found a Super Angulon 3.5 at the thrift store and he’s in the market to sell, which make me more in the market to buy. It color shifts like mad on my M9, but hey, if I wanted easy, I wouldn’t be doing this with a digital M. I see that I can pick up a voiglander 21mm f4 for about $450 with a finder.
