Then you didn’t get the full experience of the elevator muzak they must have found in a bin. As far as content… tbh it’s no worse than some of the videos posted by self-proclaimed experts. I actually learned something. Having never had any interest in these lenses I now know what versions have been made. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by my commendation. 👍 Just curious what you find good about it? I personally don't find value in videos that focus a lot on specs and MTF charts, resolution pixel peeps, etc. None of that shows the personality of a lens like some real world photos taken by someone who knows how to compose a picture. If I had the pleasure of those three lenses in my possession for a weekend, I'd go do some real world shooting in not only low light, but daylight, indoors, nature, portraits, to really understand the true nature of the lenses and what would work best for me in my creative pursuits. So many of these "review" videos seem to focus so very little on what the lenses were actually made to do - and I think it is obvious why that is so. It is far easier to reel off specs and show charts and pixel peep than it is to produce a photograph with any artistic merit. Sometimes I wish we lived in a world where all reviewers were required to post links to their own work, so you could have better insight into the merit of their opinions.....which I guess is why I don't make YouTube gear review videos 😆 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go go noctigirl !! …..yeah….the 45 seconds at the end of the video that show actual photographs taken using the lenses of some dude standing in his backyard with a t-shirt on definitely helped me make my mind up on which one of these $$$$$ lenses I would buy 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a youtube channel by "the guam photographer" that does some good real world portrait shoots with lovely models and he has done some noctilux comparisons with similar voigtlander lenses but both types of review have their place in my opinion.
