Voigtlander 50/1.5 Nokton M Aspherical - Let’s share our photos..!

[p360]

I am getting mine delivered today.  I will be sharing my photos, taken with Sony A7r.

 

Let’s see yours.

 

(If a similar thread exists, please let me know.  I did not see one.)

I don't have it. But it's surely a great lens!

First out-and-about with the lens -

Taken at f/2, I believe.

Am I the only one here?

 

Anyway, both taken at f/1.5 -

At f/2.8 -

Great shot! How do you like it so far? How is the build? I am thinking about joining the club when the 35 1.7 is in stock - those two will be a dream!

[p360]

^  Thank you!

 

I absolutely love it.  50mm is my favorite focal length as well.  The build quality is very good.  It feels solid, similar to Zeiss.  The focus ring could have been designed better, but that's my only gripe.   

 

I also have the Nokton 35 1.2 II - another gem.  Together, they are my favorites on Sony A7R.

Good photos! In part because I saw this thread, I have decided to buy one myself. It will be arriving in two days along with the 75/1.8 Heliar and the Voigtlander VM-E close focus adapter. So excited.

[p360]

^ Awesome! VM-E adapter is next on my list.

As you can see in the last two images, there is some barrel distortion, but it is not a significant issue. The portraits taken with this lens also look quite nice and I'll upload some after I make some friends that allow me to take pictures of them.

[p360]

^ good photos.  Looking forward to more.

 

I agree with everything you said about the lens.  I find it a joy to use.

 

BTW, I ended up buying an inexpensive knock-off Chinese version of a close-focus adapter on eBay.  Paid $40 for it.  I didn't want to pay two-three hundred dollars for for something I only use sporadically.  I'll find out how good it works when I get it.

The straight 10-bladed aperture produces some interesting star shaped diffraction patterns around specular light sources.

Both at f/1.5 -

What's the minimun focus distance with a standard leica m adapter?

[p360]

I wish they re-do the focus ring on this one.  Anyone else dislike it as much as I do?

Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5 Nokton Aspherical is a great lens. I got one as a wild experiment. First reaction: best build quality I've seen in any lens ever. And the image quality is superb, as seen above. I use it for available light portraits on APS-C cameras. 

 

Here's a tip: Made in two versions, M for Leica mount, SC for Nikon rangefinder, same glass. I have the Nikon SC version.

 

Here's the Nikon version (different focus ring). Min focus distance with standard adapter is 0.9m.
