Kirk, Thank you, I have been looking at that 35mm 1.2 tempting, but then I still think that both Leica and Voigtlander should make a official 35mm noct as a direct replacement for the 50mm noct for those of us living with the 1.3 crop factor infliction.
Paul, Thank you sir. Yes I kind of like Stuart's version also, just wanted to show the low contrast of the lens.
Thank you vdb, yes it is a new lens for me, I have been avoiding the Noct but could not resist this one at the price. so far it is playing nicer than I had expected.
Thank you Caryl, I have not compared to the Noct yet, but I suspect it compares somewhat to the older versions, Im sure the newer ones have more exotic lens coating and glass resulting in less flare.
William, thank you.
Marie-Louise, thank you, this is a favorite spontaneous spot of mine. no reservation required.
Wednesday was my first day with the new 50mm, I have been putting a few thoughts about it on my website at
BoPhoto.com: Voigtlander 50mm 1.1 - ITS HERE...!
