Really missed your lens review! Glad you are back.

Hey, thanks!

I decided against the Voigtländer f/1 and went with the f/1.2 which is a bit smaller and lighter, renders the same image quality - and most importantly, the f/1.2 version allows you to focus closer by 20cm, which makes a huge difference when shooting portraits. The f/1 only focuses down to 90cm, the f/1.2 allows to get up to 70cm to your subject. This will also render the background more out of focus with more bokeh than using the f/1 at 90cm. Also, the f/1.2 is almost half the price of the f/1. Go with the f/1.2.

Nice to see you do a camera review, Steve. Although, I do enjoy your audiophile vids too!

Well, the audio reviews are much more popular but I will do these every so often. I have another Voigtlander lens I am using now ; )

happy to see photographic review from you. Love them, thanks.

Thank you for showing some camera gear again, hope you will show more. I have 3 Voigtländer Lenses, some of the very best Lenses you can get !

Miss the lens reveiws brother

Great review, thank you! I do a lot of wildlife/sports photography with my Z8 where I need that snappy auto focus but this lens looks like exactly what I need to slow it down and try to focus (pun intended) on the artistic side of photography. I’m curious on your Z8 did you try out and see if the “focus peeking” works with this lens? I could see that being useful with using this manual focus lens. Thanks again.

As ALWAYS …GREAT HONEST REVIEW. THANKS STEVE

I‘m also Fromm Germany. And I think with pronouncing the „i“ it sounds much better. I like it;-)

Love mine .Use mine on my 246 and my SL2s .

Great review. I have a Voightlander 50mm f/2 APO, and that is a great lens. I also have their 35mm f/1.2 ASPH, which is a very nice lens, too. I adapt to a Leica SL body. Great setup. :)

I‘m curious if you prefer the Noct Nikkor 58 f/1.2 over this one. Can‘t decide which one. The Leica m adapter is way shorter than the nikon on the sl2-s.

Your reviews are still the best in the camera world.

Thanks!

After being a fan of first party lenses for whatever system I was using I realized that nothing will give you the character and inspiration a nice german lens like Voigtlander, Zeiss or Leica give you.

I love mine! Bought it for my Z9 in Z-mount, although I also use Leica.

I'm debating between M and Z mount myself.

I remember that review!

A great review. I’ve the 50mm f1.2 which I love… I am tempted by the F1… perfect bar the size. It would be interesting if Voigtlander introduced the floating elements into a version 2 of their 50mm F1.2 to create a true Summilux killer.

@lensman5762

Stick to F1.2. a much better lens. There are always compromises with super fast lenses, and more so with the F1, unless you dish out $10000 for a Leica for better correction and flat field.

Hi, I brought mine home, just now. Saw your YT afterward and can only confirm what you're saying (I bought the one which is natively made for Z mount, it works great with my Z8 and my Zf. :-)

Love that your back to camera gear! Most passionate guy I know when it comes to reviewing cameras/ lenses. What would you choose if you had to choose between this f1 from voigtlander or the 1.5 heliar classic? I know you love both and Im having a hard time deciding! Both different beasts but both amazing! 😂

@HiFiHuff

Жыл бұрын

Today I would choose the F/1 because it's so close to the Noctilux. It would be like the choice between a Noctilux and a Summilux really : ) Both are fantastic yet different.

@yakattac78

@@HiFiHuff noted! Will definately play with both and make a decision but leaning to the F1 now! Thanks for making the choice a little easier haha.

A very viable alternative and probably a much better choice is the F1.2 version of this lens form Voigtlander. A lot of the ills of this lens are just not there with the F1.2, unless you absolutely need F1.0 for any particular reason.

Chromatic aberration is easilty removed in photohop! I know because I have edited files from this lens. Stop worrying about it.

I bought one on launch. I have to say it doesn’t work that well pairing with my M9P, color fringing is insane on that CCD sensor. But when adapted on my Z7II and Hasselblad X2D, the performance is incredible. I would even say it is better than Noctilux 0.95 with 1/4 the price of Leica.

Heavy.

It’s a ton sharper and better than the Leica noctilux f0.95 and f1. They don’t even come close to this lens. They are massive and soft with tons of CA.

What about adapting it to a GFX though?

Yeah, Z 8 is an amazing camera. Great lens, too. But please pronounce Voigtländer without the " i ", like fogtlander. Greetings from Germany

But if .... you did not have a Leica DR Summicron 50mm F2 ....would you buy this lens first ? I am looking at the 50mm DR as I have the 50mm F1.1 Voightlander already. I like the 50mm 1.1 , but it is a different beast.

I always keep multiple 50s around, so I say go for it. For my Canons, I have both Zeiss 50 f2 and Milvus 1.4. I have a 50 Lux and don’t love it on my M10r. So I bought a VM Apo Lanthar 50 and it rocks. I’m using the lux on a M10m now, and considering this as well.
