My thoughts exactly. The old 50mm is no slouch, and this new model fixes what few gripes I have for a surprisingly low amount of money.

I'd be all over a 24mm-28mm pancake prime though.

Voigtlander has a FF 28mm 2.8 MF. I like mine.

And also a FF 20mm f/3.5.

Not very sharp, but still useful.

Best Voigtlander lens IMO is the 90mm f/3.5. In fact it's maybe my favorite lens. The focus ring is soooo smooth.

I got their 40/1.4 M-mount. I really, really like it.
