Also have a Voigtlander 1.2 50mm, compared to this. From f2.5 actually after enough no difference. just a perfect lens to take with you, nice light, options super. Voigt feels much nicer, better aperture click and all, but also much, much heavier. So a good balance between build quality and weight, everything you hold feels good.
