Yates Mill (Part 3 of 4)




Next in line is the Voigtlander 35mm/2.5 Color-Skopar. Of the lenses I took I have had this the longest. I got it with my Bessa R film range-finder. I should mention that all these lenses will have afield of view less wide on the M8 then on a film camera because the sensor is smaller then a piece of 35mm film (the ratio is about 1:1.33 if you care), so this becomes almost a 50mm equivalent. I prefer the slightly wider 35mm over the 50mm, but what can you do? the 28 becomes a 35mm equivalent, the 15mm a 21mm equivalent, etc. It is a boon with telephoto lenses because it makes then longer, but it costs yo on the wides, and man, I love those wides!

Anyway, enjoy!
