On the single coat I can’t wait to see how it renders once we get real use images The 1.5 is one of the best lenses Voigtlander has ever made, at least from a rendering standpoint. And the 0.7m MFD is actually a pretty good magnification already. But since I mostly shot the 1.5 between f/1.5 and f/2, I'm hoping this new 75 can come close to that look. At that f-stop, the 75 1.5 didn't loose any of its character, but it sharpened up considerably. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kostona Posted January 25, 2023 Share #43 Posted January 25, 2023 Just noticed that the MC version has a Matt black finish and the SC version has a black paint finish. I want the MC version but prefer the black paint finish to match the MP … tough choice Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have this lens and wish to share impressions, thanks. Fred Miranda has received both SC and MC versions and will be posting test results soon. Look for a new review thread to pop up there over the weekend. Currently he is reporting the following good news about the lens: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1791205/10#16202149 My MC version arrives tomorrow, and I'll post some shots in this thread.

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! the SC lens won't be available in Australia for a few more weeks, so i pulled the trigger and bought a demo version of the MC lens (20% off). due to a shipping cockup, i didnt get it on friday so couldn't test this weekend. i'll circle back when i have some images Quote Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! the SC lens won't be available in Australia for a few more weeks, so i pulled the trigger and bought a demo version of the MC lens (20% off). due to a shipping cockup, i didnt get it on friday so couldn't test this weekend. i'll circle back when i have some images ' data-webShareUrl='https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/361820-voigtlander-ultron-75mm-f19/?do=findComment&comment=4741614'>More sharing options...
Punkrockemo Posted April 2, 2023 Share #51 Posted April 2, 2023 Focus shift and sensitive focusing seem like a awkward combination, otherwise it looks quite good. I was thinking this might be a nice portrait lens. Does any one know if the 75 1.5 also suffers focus shift? Will be intersted to hear your thoughts when you get your copy.

I have the Nokton 75/1.5 and it's a lovely lens. No focus shift at all. However, the short focus throw is extremely frustrating. The smallest adjustment on the focusing ring makes a big difference As an example, a subject is 12 meters away from me, the lens focus ring indicates it's still on the left edge of the infinity symbol. Since this lens is sharp with very good subject isolation, this makes focusing on anything further than 3 meters away quite tricky. It's the only reason why I don't really use this lens much. The new Ultron 75/1.9 looks to be a great lens, but the focus throw is in my opinion the real achilles heel of it and the Nokton 75/1.5. Welcome, dear visitor!

elmars Posted April 2, 2023 Share #53 Posted April 2, 2023 Focus shift is a problem for near distance photography wide open. So it is a no go for portrait photography. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 1.9 has a smaller diameter focusing ring, which contributes to the faster focus movement with the same/similar focus throw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already difficult with the 75/1.5 and as you say it's more so with the 75/1.9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
