I want to discuss a recent experience with customer service. I had a really good experience…and a really not so good experience! Never expected it from a certain manufacturer…

I recently reviewed Voigtlander’s new 75mm F/1.8 Heliar lens on a Leica M8. I examined quality of rendering and really took a hard look at focusing and depth of field range. Keep reading for photos and my experience with this lens… What is going on in the world of cameras!!! “Touch me focus” and “poke your favorite white balance!” Panasonic!?!?!?! Have you gone mad! …
