Voigtlander Ultron 35mm F2 Aspherical Images

Does anyone experience focus shift with this lens? I would consider this lens to replace my cron 35mm asph with which I experience focus shift for distance below one meter. Thanks

I haven't noticed any in normal use, but also haven't tried testing properly with a tape measure and tripod...

I think it's worth noting that the lens maintains it's tonal characteristics even when stopped way down. As I've said before, really reminds of the ZM Biogon f/2 (favoring dark mid-tones)...but muuch smaller.

This is so wonderful. I feel like you're a few minutes away from getting absolutely drenched.

Thanks Jim, I think I was already drenched when I took that photo during a break in the rain. Here is another view of the ominous clouds, looking toward Mt. Lemmon near Tuscon, AZ.

It's petty sharp and I like its unique bokeh rendering, but actually I don't like using it very much as it's so small and light it's fidgety. It doesn't balance well on the camera.
