Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm f4 P Lens First Impressions

Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm f4 P Lens First Impressions:

When I’m looking for a wide angle lens, I generally want something small because I use wide angles for street, architecture, and even on vacations.  Therefore, I want something that is easy to carry around, and I don’t mind sacrificing a larger maximum aperture for it, especially since most cameras these days have great high ISO capability.  Plus, I stop down my wide angles generally anyway.  With all that said, I’ve been wanting to try the Color-Skopar 21mm f4 P by Voigtlander for quite a while, and now that I finally got one in to review, here are my first impressions of it.

Fujifilm X-T4 Mirrorless Camera First Impressions:

Quarantine caused by the corona virus pandemic here in New York City has eased up a bit, and I’m beginning to go out for more walks again.  I’m still taking a lot of precautions, and shooting is definitely not like it used to be, and I don’t go out for as long as I used to but with that said, I am also beginning to start reviewing new gear again.  One piece of gear that’s been on my list for a while now is the new Fujifilm X-T4.  I recently received one, and here’s my first impressions of it.
