The Voigtlander 40/2 is a great lens, probably with better performance than the
40/2 Zuiko. The Zuiko's allure is it's size, not it's performance. The
Voigtlander isn't svelt.
IMO, The Zuiko 40/2 is so far over-rated as to be ridiculous. Except for the
size, my two copies never had anything to offer that was worth what I got for
them on Ebay.
