Popular Post Mefty Posted January 24, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Just today I received a Nokton 50 mm F1.0 VM (https://www.voigtlaender.de/objektive/vm/50-mm-11-nokton/) for testing. The standard non meaningful testshots at home are looking very promising to me. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Hi Mefty, Take a look here Voigtländer Nokton 50 mm F1.0 asph. VM. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Danner Posted January 24, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Glad to see this thread. I was looking at the VM offerings the other night, and this lens is very interesting. Your pictures look very good too. Edited January 24, 2022 by Danner Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lens is still not available on the Internet. ETA is first week in Feb. It'll be interesting to compare the Noctilux f1 with the Nokton. A review would be very nice..👏 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huss Posted January 24, 2022 Share #9 Posted January 24, 2022 Hello! Can you post a pic through the viewfinder to show how much it blocks the view? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
proteneer Posted January 25, 2022 Share #10 Posted January 25, 2022 That looks surprisingly compact - how is the viewfinder blockage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanD Posted January 25, 2022 Share #12 Posted January 25, 2022 Congrats on getting one of the first ones out there! Looks impressive. I can see why it is backordered to April in the US. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy Posted January 25, 2022 Share #13 Posted January 25, 2022 Nice! Please post more samples. A more humble and accessible fast fifty to us mere mortals than the the noctilux 50mm F1.2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mefty Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share #14 Posted January 25, 2022 As I just realized, there are not a lot of these out there right now. I have plans for a short trip the next days/weeks were this lens and (hopefully) a M11 joins me. So the following pictures are actually nothing I use to post because they are results of just playing around at home and getting a feeling for the lens for the more (to me) important pictures when out and about. Please bear this in mind when looking at the two pictures here. 🙈 Both taken at f1.0 just little corrections in LR and a little bit of sharpening. No presets are anything like this.

markhout Posted January 25, 2022 Share #15 Posted January 25, 2022 Thanks for posting Mefty - I'm sure that you have quite a number of readers looking forward to your reports and images. Can you comment on rangefinder focusing wide open as well please? From your images, it looks like focusing works fine, i.e. the rangefinder is precise enough to deal with 1.0 wide open.

Mefty Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share #16 Posted January 25, 2022 Focusing works surprisingly good. I am nailing it almost on every shot. To be honest I have not expecting this. The focus ring is stiffer (on my copy) then on my other Voigtländer glasses. First I didn‘t liked it, then I realized that it is actually quite helpful. 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarsHP Posted January 25, 2022 Share #17 Posted January 25, 2022 Thanks for posting! I love the B&W image with the girl writing. The last image, with tree branches in the foreground and houses in the background, looks odd to me. It looks as if the plane of focus is bending a bit away from the camera in the sides. I say this based on the following observation: the branch in focus, which is close to the center of the image, is much closer than the houses, right? The house behind the focus point is clearly blurred. However, when checking both the left and right edge of the image, the houses in both sides are almost in focus. If my observations are correct, then this lens has a bit of reverse* field curvature. * reverse as in opposite normal field curvature, where the plane of focus moves closer to the camera in the sides and corners. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy Posted January 25, 2022 Share #18 Posted January 25, 2022 Any sooc raw of this lens by any chance. Would be nice to see the the rendering this lens delivers sooc. I.e saturation/ tonality/ contrast How would you describe its falloff from in and out of focus areas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can download the image here: (link deleted) and look on your own device. I checked your observation and I think this is due to the resizing and the compression here. Please check the image and let me know if you still think your observation is right. Edited January 25, 2022 by Mefty 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
