Washington Posted August 12, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I found this interesting…. and the photos can easily be enlarged for further comparison. My take was the ''inexpensive’’ Voigtlander Nokton f1.1 is quite the lens! All sizes | M9-50mm-Comparison | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted August 12, 2011 errrr, what league are you speaking of? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted August 12, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 12, 2011 ..... errrr...maybe..... but it also shows the 0.95 to be in a different league completely..... Maybe I'm looking at the examples wrong, but as soon as the lenses get to f4 the Nokton seems to hold its own extremely well. Wide open the f0.95 is a bit better (maybe), yet the Nokton beats the old Noctilux. I wouldn't say that puts the f0.95 in a different league, it may be top, but not seven times better if you want to bring price into it (where it does win the league).

photoart Posted August 12, 2011 Share #5 Posted August 12, 2011 Wow, the 0.95 noctilux is so much better, especiality at the center above f4 and the bokeh is so soft wide open...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washington Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted August 12, 2011 Steve, You bet! For all practical purposes the CV will make a print the equal to Leica. Yes, the ‘’league’’ is the I spent 10 grand league. Which doesn’t have a bunch to do with picture making! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve In the value for money league the Nokton I agree it wins hands down...... On my monitor with the centre images at full size the 0.95 stays well ahead, particularly in rendering the shadow detail till f16...... Surprisingly, the peripheral performance of the old 1.0 actually looks better than the 0.95 at wider apertures.... Anyway it's all hairsplitting when it comes down to it.... I can't see anyone being unhappy with the performance on any of these lenses in real life photography....... ..... only people checking lenses take pictures of brick walls after all......

Washington Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share #9 Posted August 12, 2011 Thighslapper, You got the point! Sure, viewing at 100% magnification on a monitor is one thing but viewing a print at 10 feet distance is another. I am fair…. and I think if you want a Leica lens that’s just fine….. but, on the same score I am not going to deny the qualities of another brand. I like all kinds of goofy lenses and the graphic/clinical details do not matter to me one bit. The end result on paper does! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoart Posted August 12, 2011 Share #10 Posted August 12, 2011 With the noctilux you have a lot more reserves for cropping and enlargement, that counts for me......not the money.......peanuts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All sizes | M9-50mm-Comparison | Flickr - Photo Sharing! This "comparision" is very poor... I wouldn't take out on the basis of any conclusions. Here's my comparison and some samples and conclusions.

Yes, the ‘’league’’ is the I spent 10 grand league. Which doesn’t have a bunch to do with picture making! would definitely agree with this. The nokton is great. I have one and love it. Cannot imagine speding the extra money to get the lux. The CV performance: value ratio is really great and I am glad that this brand and lens are out there. YMMV.
