Advertisement Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 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!
LarsHP Posted January 25, 2022 Share #22 Posted January 25, 2022 Thanks Mefty! I have downloaded your DNG file, edited it a bit, and cropped the interesting part of the image (below). As far as I can see, the roof on the house behind the branch in focus (on the left side of the crop) is definitely more blurred than the one at the border of the image even though that building is slightly further away. One more odd thing that makes my point is LoCA. In roof in the center, we see the usual green LoCA, but the LoCA on the roof at the border of the house is purple! This could suggest that the plane of focus is behind the building ... but I don't think that's the case. The good things: 1) The f/1 Nokton is just as sharp as we could hope for in the center, wide open. 2) Vignetting is very moderate - particularly for an f/1 lens. 3) Transition zone in the central area looks smooth.

robb Posted January 25, 2022 Share #23 Posted January 25, 2022 Congrats on picking up this lens. I have one in order for the US. It’s expected to get to me in March. Thanks for posting images. If you get a chance to shoot some portraits wide open, those would be great to see. Robb 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorsk81 Posted January 26, 2022 Share #24 Posted January 26, 2022 Got mine yesterday, don't had time to test it yet. It's in stock in Brussels Belgium. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanw5000 Posted January 26, 2022 Share #25 Posted January 26, 2022 Here in the UK it looks like they have just been delivered to the shops, The Classic camera shop in London got 3. I was a bit surprised when then told me they still had one in stock as I thought they would be sold out everywhere for a while as the releases are quite small, so I nabbed it. Get it in a few days. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Unfortunately the tack sharp focus (on the front eye) is not very good visible here. But to be honest I don't think this lens or better say f1.0 is the best for portraits anyway. The f1.0 will shine when the object is more far away....at least this is the way I prefer these kind of lenses.

Eyes look sharp enough to me, while the background is smooth, including bokeh balls. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrobuoy Posted January 26, 2022 Share #34 Posted January 26, 2022 Lovely! I can't tell if I'm seeing field curvature, or if my eyes are just misreading the plane of focus, but it looks almost like the front of the sleeve at the bottom of the frame is sharper than the blue hoodie, and that the ends of the hair on the shoulder is sharper than the hair farther back. The focus transition away from the eye is very nice and smooth though, and less nervous than I might have expected Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The focus transition away from the eye is very nice and smooth though, and less nervous than I might have expected Since the camera is tilted down, the plane of focus is at an angle, so the shoulder/sleeve should be sharper than the hood. I think that explains what you are seeing. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disneyland prices leica charge for their flag ship lenses are quite vulgar to me and not related in any way to performance but that is a different subject altogether. I do own a voigtlander 21mm f1.4 and summicrom 50mm V5 which are both very expensive lenses so maybe i should shut up?🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted January 27, 2022 Share #39 Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Please: More cat photos - we cannot properly discern the performance of the lens without them. 😅 Edited January 27, 2022 by Herr Barnack 3 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
