Just did a quick and dirty test at the river behind our house.
Gooseander - Zf & Laowa 180mm APO @ f/4.5 and using bird eye detect
I think this image is a brilliant take on impressionism . I took the liberty to make a crop to accentuate the feeling and show what I mean.

What is the second Voigtländer - one of their 50mm lenses?
Hi Hugh, yes it's the Voigtländer 50mm f/2.0 APO

The Laowa 180mm Macro is an attractive lens with good sharpness. The cat picture shows nice foreground and background rendition. The silhouette of the tree shows lateral CA in the branches, in spite of the apo designation, maybe it is best corrected at closer distances?

Thanks Roland - I don't see what you see - you mean in the orange evening sunset pic?

Impressive. And it shows that the word „Schärfentiefe“ (german for: ‘depth of field’) is a euphemism. :) :)
