I’m using a Fujifilm X-H2S, and I already own the XF 33mm f/1.4 and XF 50mm f/1.0.

Lately I’ve been really curious about the Voigtländer 35mm f/0.9. I know it’s manual focus, and I’m not too worried about that part. What I’m trying to understand is the rendering, character, and overall feeling of using the lens.

For those who own it, do you truly love it? Does it give you something emotionally or visually different from Fuji’s own lenses, or is most of the “magic” coming from lighting, editing, and recipes?

I’ve seen some sample photos that honestly made it harder for me to resist this lens 😂 but I’d love to hear from people who have actually used it for a while.

Would you buy it again?

For those who actually own the Voigtländer 35mm f/0.9, what makes it special enough to justify the price?

Is the rendering and character really that different from Fujinon lenses?

And how was the transition to manual focus?
