Hi everybody, Just went back from a travel to Singapore, where the Sony A7 survived dust, heat and damp. I had in my bag the new Voigtlander hyper wide heliar 5.6 - 10mm. This lens is perfect to take pictures where place is narrow, and very easy to use, despite the manual focus (it was my main concern, but at such a wide angle, everything is easily in focus). Of course, it quickly shows its limits when the light goes down, if you have no tripod (and even so, the results are quite poor). Here is some examples : Taken from 1-Altitude bar, at F5.6, 800ISO and 1/8s Taken at Gardens by the Bay, inside of Cloud Forest dome, F5.6, 800 ISO and 1/1250s Taken at Emerald Hill Road, F8, 100ISO and 1/80s And a clear example, taken inside the Raffles Hotel. What the Sony 16-35mm sees at 16mm : And from the same point of view, with the Voigtlander 10mm : No other lens would have me taken this shot. Considering I'm an amateur with poor skills, I can just imagine what kind of creative photographies a pro can take with this lens.

Has anybody been lucky to get a copy of their 15mm Voigländer 4.5 native Sony mount? I'm a bit reluctant getting the VL M mount with an adapter, if the native Sony mount is just around the corner.

Hey folks, Sharing a few from a recent shoot. Sony a7R Voigtlander Nokton 35mm F/1.2 II, Sony FE 55mm F/1.8

I was in the market for a fast full-frame 35mm so I decided to get the fastest there is -- the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.2 II. I'm really enjoying the characteristics of this lens, especially the wide-angle shallow depth of field. Here's a shot I took from a low perspective in a flower bed that I was quite pleased with!

I used my newly acquired Voigtlander 35 1.7 Ultron today. I am just getting acquainted with my new lens and so far I just love the results. I am using it on an A7II with the Voigtlander close focus adapter. The lens vignettes quite a bit, but so far the Lightroom lens profile has done very good job at correcting. In some shots I also noticed a little bit of blue-ish color shift on the corners/edges but very light. Here are a few shots on a foggy day here in Montreal. I will followup with a few more street shots. Fog 1 by Colin Surprenant, on Flickr Fog 3 by Colin Surprenant, on Flickr Fog 2 by Colin Surprenant, on Flickr Fog 4 by Colin Surprenant, on Flickr

This tiny lens - and I mean really tiny: I happened to loose it more than once inside the old big DSLR bag! - turned out to be one of my favorite. It is pretty impressively sharp - especially considering the focal length - and has beautiful tonalities. This is the first version, so you cannot mount filters on it. With the possible exclusion of seascapes (if you want to use something like a ND1000, to be clear) I don't find this to be a big deal; with such a vast angle of view a polarizer would be out of the question; I don't use other filters anyway. And if you need a split-ND to recover the light in the sky you can always just shot two frames and blend the exposure (way better that a split ND for my taste, but YMMV). My only gripe is that in some occasion - my guess at some specific focusing distance - it looks like it exhibits some kind of weird "blob" of unsharpness mid-frame. I said "it looks like" because I've not yet be able to replicate the behavior on purpose, and I have a doubt that it may have been some kind of adapter-related problem. Now I bought a new ring that looks of much better quality, so time will tell. Please note that all the images in color have been processed with the Flat Field Lightroom plugin to eliminate the notorious magenta shading at the borders.
