It is not a 75/1,4 and it does not try to be a "super" lens, but it is one of the truly outstanding "pocketable" long normals that I have found. In the latest LHSA Viewfinder there are several shots taken with the 75/2,5 inside the Cosina glassplant and Voigtlander assembly line and I could have shot at 1/125 instead of 1/30 but the DOF would have been too shallow and I would have had to drag the 75/1,4 almost 8000 miles for one set of shots! My 75/2,5 is a very early one and the black finich does chip a bit, but that is also due to the fact that i usually carry it in my pocket together with an old Zippo lighter,small change and whatever else is dumped in that particular vestpocket.
