Advertisement Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Hi Raid Amin, Take a look here Voigtlander 50mm f/1 VM. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Raid Amin Posted March 17, 2022 Share #142 Posted March 17, 2022 When CV comes out with the CV 50/1 after having produced a 50/1.1 and also a 50/1.2, the new lens better be special somehow. I own a CV 50/1.1 but not the 50/1.2. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raid Amin Posted March 17, 2022 Share #145 Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) While this lens is meant to be used wide open, it is also an excellent general purpose lens at smaller apertures. The pelican images were mostly taken at F 8. Edited March 17, 2022 by Raid Amin Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raid Amin Posted March 18, 2022 Share #147 Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) The lens itself is heavy but I find it to be manageable on the M10. It is big but not too big. This may be the best lens that CV has ever created. Edited March 18, 2022 by Raid Amin 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stout_trapdoor9 Posted March 20, 2022 Share #148 Posted March 20, 2022 Received mine yesterday. Way too early for detailed initial thoughts, but will be testing it out as cherry blossom arrives shortly here in DC. It is of exceptional quality, the focus ring is nicely dampened. I am only a recent Leica buyer but I have the following lenses to compare it to: Voigtlander APO Lanthar 35/2 Voigtlander APO Lanthar 50/2 Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40/1.4 Voigtlander Nokton 75/1.5 Zeiss Biogon 28/2.8 I have used but don't own the Leica Summilux 35. The Voigtlander lenses give me the same feeling as the Zeiss lenses I used to use with my Nikon setup before I switched to Leica. Well dampened and precise focus. This shot was done with a Leica M10M, Voigtlander 50/1, shot at f1 1/60s, ISO 250. Processed lightly to taste. There was not a lot of light in the kitchen, but what there was, was vacuumed up by the lens. Welcome, dear visitor!

robb Posted April 3, 2022 Share #156 Posted April 3, 2022 My copy arrived a couple of weeks ago but I was away with many projects in Florida and the Caribbean. So it was stuck at the post office til now… initial thoughts are that the packaging And included metal hood are very nice. Lens construction is very solid, smooth and tight. I’ll get out this week using it for some photos. I believe this lens will likely always be in my bag surrounded by my 24-90 and 90-280 SL2 or my 35 and 75 SL summicrons. Can’t wait to shoot portraits with this lens. Robb Welcome, dear visitor!

Leica M11 Voigtlander Nokton 50/1 ISO 6400 1/60s f5.6 The sunstars are OK but I didn't expect amazing results from a 12 blade aperture. It's nice and sharp stopped down. Welcome, dear visitor!

When you shoot wide open the sunstars get smudgy and the chromatic aberration is pretty strong, you can see it pretty much everywhere on the water on the cars. Welcome, dear visitor!

robb Posted April 22, 2022 Share #159 Posted April 22, 2022 Finally got a chance to shoot a bit with the 1.0 Nokton. Hard to nail focus for me even with the SL2 viewfinder and zooming in. Seemed easier to use than the SL Summilux 50 though for some reason. Maybe because the Nokton weighed less, was more compact, and had the right throw. I'll have to use it more So I can get the kinks out of my eyes... If the light is there, I'd probably grab an SL Summicron which would be easier to use quickly. A little CA is there in the Nokton but seems easy to fix. Bokeh seemed great to me.

robb Posted April 22, 2022 Share #160 Posted April 22, 2022 I also tried the Nokton wide open with some non-portraits. Highlight bokeh seemed good - I liked the out of focus shapes on the water.
