Hi , Morris Garages (which I misspelt due to being new to commenting) was the name of a car Co.that later shortened their name to MG .At one part of the video there appears to be an MG TC classic car . They are lovely old cars if you like classic design, much-loved by the British pilots during WW11 . The MG TF original is even prettier and is driven by Mike Hammer in Kiss Me Deadly. He gets it on loan after starting the film with an MG MGA . The TC is very similar to earlier MG s but it looks like a TC to me . Regards Jake E.

I'm sold!!! I've been looking at this lens for a while. After viewing your review, I think I'm going to get a Black one for my Leica M1. Thanks for the review. :)

Very clear & informative video about the Voigtlander 50mm Nokton lens. Images here look very good. I have this lens on my Leica M3 and find it works so well with Ilford FP4 film. The Leica M camera and Voigtlander lens work very well, and you don't have to pay the very high prices for the older Leitz lenses. There seems to be more videos on Voigtlander lens models, which I find a bit confusing. If you have a good lens and get good results, it becomes almost academic what other models of Voigtlander are supposed to give. Nice you did this review and shared these lovely images.

Thanks for your calm and informative videos. I’ve enjoyed both your Minolta and Leica series. Since I recently used most of my cash for a Leica M3, I bought this lens instead of the Sumicron 50mm f 2.0 (for the time being?). I’m glad to see how beautifully this little lens does portraits!

Great video and amazing photos.

Awesome lens awesome review thank you!

I have been borrowing my friends Voigtlander Nokton 50mm F/1.1 (Leica M) lens and I think the world of it! At it's widest I get the soft look and easy bokeh that you would expect at F/1.1 shooting what ever you feel shooting at that aperture. Specially nearing "Golden Hours" and low light. I just can't say enough about it and would not say anything other bad about it. I use it primarily on me Sony a7R and manually focusing with the assist of the 14 power (critical focus) to assist my maximum details on the subject. I know... Over kill, but I wanted to see how sharp the lens really was and it is mind blowing sharp (pixel peeping). Great job again my friend. Cheers!

fotosbylang I completely agree. It is a fantastic lens. Glad to hear you enjoy it so much as well. :)

Late to the party, bought this lens about 1 1/2 year ago. It is indeed not a Summilux but close, It is around 1/3 stop slower. My copy is excellent and as you stated this is indeed the poor man's Summilux. For the price this lens is a steal. It is fairly compact for the large aperture and extremely well made. It will last you a lifetime if taken proper care. Focussing was fairly stiff in the beginning but some massaging while watching TV did a great job. Regarding focus accuracy I have no complaints at all. Perfect focus on my M6TTL(.85) and on my digital Leica bodies. At f/1.5 prone to CA on digital but easily removed in post. I have the same problem with the 35 Summicron. The only thing I am not found of is the knurled focussing ring. It is indeed a great lens at the price point. I think Cosina made an excellent design choice.

Well done review of this great lens. I use this lens on a Fujifilm X-Pro2 which works really well. In this case it works more like an in between of a standard and telephoto lens witch works great with portraits. I've also used on a M 262 at a Leica Store and that worked also really great. This as an additional info to your review. Would hope to see more videos of this format in the future.

Makes me happy to hear that. :) I've read the same about the Voigtländer 58mm f/1.4 lens but since I don't have a Nikon body, I am not really interested in getting it. Unfortunately (but for good reasons), this lens does not exist for the Leica M mount. So if you're just starting out, a good Nikon film body (e.g. FM2 or F3) and this particular lens might be worth taking a look at. At least on my Minolta, I sometimes appreciate the extra 8mm focal length of the 58mm lens since it turns it more into a portrait lens without limiting you too much.

Max, good to see a video from you about a Voigtländer lens with this quality of photos. Thanks for sharing your insights and thoughts. I would love to own two or three Voigtländer lenses: the 58mm 1.4, 28mm 2.8 and perhaps the 40, too. Apart from the old-fashioned build quality, I've heard that as well as optical sharpness, the micro-contrast giving perceived depth, as well as the colour saturation, is really there: A Zeiss-esque "pop". Your usual high quality videography, too. :)

At 4:21 that's a great portrait!!

I would have liked some comments of the physical handling of the lens, how tight or loose the focussing ring is, the focus throw, does the aperture ring offer full, half or one-third stops, how many blades are there in the aperture, how big or small the lens is, its weight, whether a hood is supplied with it, etc.

It would be nice to see the difference between the SC and MC versions

I have wondered for awhile and nothing I have found seems clear about it at all is whether the newer lenses are the same lens formulas as the vintage German made lenses or whether the current company just bought the names much like they did the Voightlander name and are just tacking classic lens names onto completely different designs.

Would you do any vid about how you develop your negative with xtol? I have the same lens but develop with Ilfotec HC the result was far form this. Would be good to see how you do it perhaps it's worthy changing to xtol. Great pictures BTW!

Thanks for your comment. Please note that my lab developed and scanned these images (as noted in the video description). So I cannot take credit for the quality, I just happen to know which developer they use. Of course, xtol makes perfect sense for such a large operation like a professional lab. But I believe their Noritsu and Frontier scanners have the bigger impact on the final results in this case. ;) Hope this helps. And sorry to disappoint you. Nevertheless, there will be a video on developing black and white film (with Acurol) at some point.

Your photos are very good..what do you suggest to achieve this creamy bokeh with the newer lens in price range 100-350$ because the problem those lenses is that shipping cost alot to where i live.thank you

Thanks for your comment. I have a Summicron v4 and can therefore comment to some extent on your question. The Nokton is a bit larger (due to the wider aperture). The quality of the bokeh is significantly better than that of the 35mm f/1.4 sc (I own the 40mm f/1.4 sc and therefore think I know what you are referring to). In comparison to the Summicron, the Nokton has a much more modern rendering in my opinion. I personally love my Summicron and would always buy it again. But I also appreciate the Nokton and the kind of creamy and special look it creates. Have you considered the Carl Zeiss Sonnar? Hamish Gill over at www.35mmc.com is very fond of this lens design and has all sorts of review on his site that you might want to take a look at.

If you can swing it the summicron is smaller I think, has the focusing tab and has less CA than the voightlander. Other than that, CA is the only difference between the two in terms of image quality...

Just remember: crop factor 2x! So you'll have the equivalent of a 100mm lens, which has limited usefulness IMO. Consider the Voigtländer 35mm 1.5, which would give you a 70mm equivalent on your Lumix.

I have this one and the F1.4 summilux, and compared it to a f2.0 summicron (Non APO). F 2.8 and above it has BETTER bokeh than the f1.4 Leicas. Bokeh at F2.0 to match the summicron widest F2.0 is almost Identical. Only CA is different. Its worst crime is chromatic aberration wide open. Some can be corrected in LR. In B&W chromatic aberration shows up as a haze. Like the author says, its mostly in digital. I think on film its minimized or less. Its a very nice lens, great price too.

M JP Bin kein Profi, nutze aber selbst eine spiegellose Leica T mit diversen Vintage-Optiken (Leica, Voigtländer, Minolta) mit Adapter. Das ist meine einzige Digitalkamera. Die digitale Leica M hingegen is natürlich ein Messsucher und damit nur bedingt vergleichbar. Ganz anderes Gefühl, das ich persönlich für Streetshots und teilweise sogar Porträts sehr schätze. Eine M erzeugt eine besondere Stimmung beim Fotografieren und verlangt bewusste Entscheidungen. Ich persönlich habe durch meine M6 erst so richtig das Fotografieren gelernt. Die Sony Alpha 7 Kameras sind natürlich technisch herausragend, erzeugen aber nicht annähernd eine solche Stimmung. Es sind kleine Computer mit zahlreichen (belegbaren) Knöpfen, Features und sogar Apps zur Erweiterung des Funktionsumfangs. Wer eigentlich nur fotografieren möchte und sich weniger für modernste Features begeistern kann, ist mit einer schlichteren Kamera besser bedient. Aber das ist letztlich Geschmackssache.

Catherine Manne Thanks for your comment, Catherine. Unfortunately, I can't really respond to that. In my opinion, this Nokton is a surprisingly good and solid lens that plays a special role in the Voigtländer lineup.

But then you probably have considered that. :)
