The camera can&#8217;t change the aperture so S- and P-mode will not work as with native lenses.<\/p>\n<p>It has electronic contacts to communicate with the camera though. That provides correct <strong>EXIF<\/strong>-data, the OSS in all Sony cameras with IBIS will automatically know the correct focal length and the focus magnification can be automatically activated when the focus ring gets turned. Unlike Loxia lenses the Voigtlander has a distance encoder so the camera will show a pretty much useless digital distance scale and stabilization might be a bit more effective.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19570\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19570\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19570 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmF14_Review-03240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmF14_Review-03240.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmF14_Review-03240-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmF14_Review-03240-768x641.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19570\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Voigtlander Nokton 21mm F1.4 on Sony a7II<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h1>Build quality<\/h1>\n<p>The Voigtlander 21mm F1.4 <strong>feels really solid<\/strong>.\u00a0The lens hull is made from nothing but metal and tolerances are very low.

This is not an issue with the Voigtlander since you can easily grab it by its base which is textured for better grip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus Ring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>focus ring\u00a0<\/strong>travels around 110 degrees from 25 cm to 1 m and a further 20 degrees to infinity. I think that is a very reasonable transmission and I had no issues to focus precisely at longer distances. The ring itself is well textured and the <strong>resistance is about perfect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Aperture ring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The aperture ring situated at the front is <strong>a joy to use<\/strong>. It is made from metal with distinctive stops and a very pleasant resistance. I would have preferred 1\/2 or even full stops but 1\/3 stops work ok. The Voigtlander stops down to f\/16.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hood<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"twentytwenty\" class=\"twentytwenty-container\" style=\"display: none; max-width: 100%; width: 645px; height: 800px\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmF14_Review-03232.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmF14_Review-03230.jpg\"\/><\/div>\n<p>The Voigtlander 1.4\/21 has a medium sized hood which locks into place very well and adds 26mm mm to the length of the camera. It can also be mounted in revers for storage. It is made from metal and weights 27g but it feels a little delicate to me, so I wouldn&#8217;t store camera and lens on it like I would with a more solid feeling and rubberized lens hood as found on Sony GM lenses.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Size and Weight<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Voigtlander 1.4\/21 is a medium sized lens. At 539g, it is about 70g heavier than the Sony GM 1.4\/24 but less than 50g heavier than the 1 stop slower Tokina Firin 2\/20.<\/p>\n<h2>Close Focus<\/h2>\n<p>The Voigtlander focuses down to 25cm which can give an interesting perspective emphasizing a subject while including the background.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19616 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Tokina_FiRIN_100mmf28_Macro_Review-03903.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Tokina_FiRIN_100mmf28_Macro_Review-03903.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Tokina_FiRIN_100mmf28_Macro_Review-03903-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Tokina_FiRIN_100mmf28_Macro_Review-03903-768x539.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It also maintains sharpness very well at close distances.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19489\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19489\" style=\"width: 787px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19489 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/closeup_f1p4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"787\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/closeup_f1p4.jpg 787w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/closeup_f1p4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/closeup_f1p4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LR default setting | crop from center | f(1.4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h1><span style=\"font-size: 26px; font-weight: bold;\">Optical performance<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>These results are based on the use with a Sony Alpha 7II.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Flare Resistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As always evaluating flare is a complex matter since you can get any lens to look bad if you push it hard enough and a slight change of scenario will affect results a lot.<\/p>\n<p>I think the Voigtlander <strong>compares well to other lenses<\/strong>, especially in regards to <strong>veiling flare. <\/strong>There is a small purple ghost in many more demanding images though.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19711 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmf1p4_Review-03989.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmf1p4_Review-03989.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmf1p4_Review-03989-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmf1p4_Review-03989-768x539.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19712 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmf1p4_Review-03993.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmf1p4_Review-03993.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmf1p4_Review-03993-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmf1p4_Review-03993-768x539.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"twentytwenty\" class=\"twentytwenty-container\" style=\"display: none; max-width: 100%; width: 789px; height: 1200px\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmf1p4_Review-03988.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Voigtlander_21mmf1p4_Review-03987.jpg\"\/><\/div>\n<h2>Sunstars<\/h2>\n<p>Voigtlander lenses are known for their very defined sunstars.

For a super wideangle this is an outstanding performance.<\/p>\n<h1>Alternatives<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Sony GM 1.4\/24<\/strong>: If you are into reportage style photography the Sony is probably the better alternative since it offers AF, smoother bokeh and a little better across the frame sharpness at f\/1.4 and f\/2. It also comes out ahead for astro photography with less coma and vignetting. As a landscape lens I would certainly prefer the Voigtlander with better across the frame sharpness stopped down and also nicer sunstars and manual focus. The Gm is 100g lighter and weather sealed but also a little more expensive.

Overall though both are very close in sharpness. In regard to flare both seem to be different but both deliver a good performance and I don&#8217;t see one as clearly better. The Loxia is of course 140g lighter and available used for less money than the Voigtlander. Handling for me is a clear win for the Voigtlander. If landscape is your only use for a 21mm then I would go for the Loxia but the Voigtlander can match it&#8217;s performance and because of it&#8217;s two stop advantage it is more versatile so the added weight and bulk might be worth it.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/rolling-review-zeiss-loxia-distagon-2-821mm-t\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">review<\/a>\u00a0| 394 g \u00a0| $1499<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tokina Firin 2\/20: <\/strong>The 1 stop slower Tokina is more affordable and I think it has better coma-correction at f\/2 while the Voigtlander handles backlit scenes better, has better flare resistance and nicer sunstars as well as nicer handling.

It sets the standard in sharpness for a wideangle lens, controls CA well and while the bokeh has some shortcomings I would rate it as an overall positive as well. Good flare resistance and well defined sunstars also add to it&#8217;s appeal as a landscape lens. While the coma correction isn&#8217;t bad you wouldn&#8217;t want to use it at f\/1.4 which would have been a big appeal for the Voigtlander. The only real negative I could find is the very strong vignetting. As expected from a Voigtlander lens handling is best in class and the lens feels very solid.\u00a0The Voigtlander is larger than some E-mount lenses, most of them slower, but for it&#8217;s overall performance it is relatively small.<\/p>\n<p>There isn&#8217;t really any category where I would rate the 1.4\/21 best in class: For reportage or astro the Sony GM 1.4\/24 is an even stronger competitor but it isn&#8217;t as good a landscape lens. For landscapes the 2 stops slower Loxia 2.8\/21 isn&#8217;t any better but it is as good and smaller and lighter. Overall though the combination of speed, handling and performance make it the most versatile and appealing wideangle lens in the system only rivaled by the GM 1.4\/24. For the offered performance the price is very competitive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Voigtlander 21mm F1.4 Nokton packs class leading sharpness and speed into a relatively small lens which is a joy to handle and relatively affordable for what it does. Highly recommended to those who enjoy manual focus and are in need of a very versatile wideangle.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Voigtlander 1.4\/21 sells for <b>$1199 <\/b>at <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.cameraquest.com\/voigtlander_emount\">CameraQuest <\/a>| <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2X9fyI6\">Amazon.com<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/search?N=0&amp;InitialSearch=yes&amp;Ntt=voigtlander%2021%201.4&amp;BI=19619&amp;KBID=12129&amp;KWID=EZ\">B&amp;H<\/a>. 1399\u20ac at <a href=\"http:\/\/rover.ebay.com\/rover\/1\/707-53477-19255-0\/1?icep_ff3=9&amp;pub=5575076376&amp;toolid=10001&amp;campid=5338559205&amp;customid=&amp;icep_uq=voigtl%C3%A4nder+21mm+1.4&amp;icep_sellerId=&amp;icep_ex_kw=&amp;icep_sortBy=12&amp;icep_catId=3323&amp;icep_minPrice=&amp;icep_maxPrice=&amp;ipn=psmain&amp;icep_vectorid=229487&amp;kwid=902099&amp;mtid=824&amp;kw=lg\">ebay.de<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/rover.ebay.com\/rover\/1\/710-53481-19255-0\/1?icep_ff3=9&amp;pub=5575076376&amp;toolid=10001&amp;campid=5338559205&amp;customid=&amp;icep_uq=voigtl%C3%A4nder+21mm+1.4&amp;icep_sellerId=&amp;icep_ex_kw=&amp;icep_sortBy=12&amp;icep_catId=&amp;icep_minPrice=&amp;icep_maxPrice=&amp;ipn=psmain&amp;icep_vectorid=229508&amp;kwid=902099&amp;mtid=824&amp;kw=lg\">ebay.co.uk<\/a> (affiliate links).<br \/>\n<\/em><em>If this review was helpful to you, please consider using one of my affiliate links.
