Sony SAL 135mm f/2.8 (T4.5) STF This is one of the lenses that Sony inherited from Minolta, re-branded and kept selling. I am not sure how long will Sony keep this lens in production, because I doubt they have a big sales, and the profitability might be questionable too. Is it a bad lens? No.…

Voigtlander Nokton Aspherical 35mm f/1.2 II This is very special lens, but ISO chart is certainly not its best friend. I don't have time right now to write about all my findings and thoughts, so don't make any conclusion based on the crops bellow. I need to keep same methodology, but this lens should be…
