Zitate

Ein Zitat aus dem Test in opticallimits.com:

"The center is always sharp at the mainstream settings and the outer image region is relatively decent at f/1.8, good at f/2.8 and very good between f/4 and f/8. However, field curvature is a major issue at large apertures so in the real life the results are less convincing here - at least in our sample which wasn't really well centered. Typical for the three initial Prominar lenses, both the distortion as well as the lateral CAs are low which is good because image auto-correction isn't possible. The amount of vignetting is generally on the high side though."...."The mechanical quality of the Kowa lens is, again, impressive. It feels like a lens from the good ol' days - in a positive way. The lens body is made of metal and the controls are smooth as silk. However, a weather sealing is missing. As aspect that is probably going to be less popular is the lack of AF and an electronically couple aperture. However, thanks to its unique Dual Link Iris, the aperture ring can be changed to a movie-friendly mode (smooth settings rather than clicks) so this can make some sense."

Ein Zitat aus dem Review bei ephotozine.com:

"The Kowa Prominar 12mm f/1.8 is a classy looking lens. It's beautifully made and the results are excellent. AF could be a useful addition, but on the other hand we have an easy to focus lens here that presents none of the focusing difficulties of its 8.5mm sibling."...."It's expensive perhaps compared to some, but looks excellent value against the Voigtlander 10.5mm f/0.95, unless that extra bit of speed is needed."...."It's a very compelling lens to use, very much the traditional 24mm (in full frame terms) with all its inherent versatility."
