I had the Loxia 21 and sold it like you when I acquired the Voigtlander 21. I missed the Loxia very much and repurchased the Loxia 21. I’ve decided to keep both as they both are great lenses that produce amazing results and each has their strengths and weaknesses. Maybe reconsider selling the Voigtlander? You might at times miss the small size and weight. Regardless I enjoyed your video!
I have the Loxia 21 and the 35, and I love using both. Particularly these are both excellent at creating aperture stars at middle apertures without losing too much light by stopping to tiny apertures. I owned and then sold the Voigtlander 50mm f2 Apo-Lanthar. It was a nice handling and performing lens, but the lack of a gasket exposed my cameras to damage unless I taped over the lens mount when in use. Thus the Voigtlander never traveled with me. Lenses that stay at home are not of value to me.
p.s. I also use the Think Tank Rotation 22, and it always travels with me, easily sliding under airline seats while my small roll bag is in the overhead bin.
Hi Marcell, That's a beautiful location you chose for this comparison. The shot at 15:06 looks wonderful. I believe you've made the right decision. I've read that this Voigtländer has poor midframe performance. Maybe if you get a chance, you could test out the Voigtländer 21mm F/1.4. I've read some say that it is better then the Loxia.
Nice video ! Funny thing is both these lenses are made by the same company in Japan (Cosina) so it's interesting to see the differences. I am enjoying my Loxia 21, 35 and 50 - biggest issue for me is the one you identified - mounting and removing the lenses, but it's worth the hassle for the joy of using them and image quality

Oh no, you are now the second commenting I should keep both... 😂
Zeiss glass are just better and the coulours are warmer. 🙏 Thank you for the video.
Yes they are warmer.

True, lenses staying home have no value. Thanks for taking the time to comment, really appreciated.
Exactly the video I was looking for! Thanks for the detailed comparison. And yes, you should keep both. 😂

I wonder whether the development team is the same for both brands. :)
Thanks for commenting, I really appreciate it.
Keep both 😂😂😂😂 I love legacy lenses. 🎉🎉🎉
