I do simple youtube videos on a tripod with my GH4 and am debating on getting the 12mm Leica or the Voigtlander Nokton 10.5mm lens. Which one should I get??? I have the Voigtlander 17.5 and absolutely love it but I need something just a tad wider since the camera is so close to my face.
Both will do a fine job for RUclips. The Voigtlander will be a bit wider, and will be better in low light. I’d decide based on if you can find a good price on one of them.
I have the 17.5 0.95 and it's awesome. the color and contrast are outstanding. It's heavy as hell though. SLR magic variable ND mkII is almost always not it.
Ya that lens is awesome! Really high end glass like from Cooke Optics is very heavy, so I actually prefer these Voigtlander lenses being heavy lenses because I’m more used to it and it feels more stabilized and professional. Not like a cheap toy. Thanks for the comment! Have a great day!
@@AlliandWill Yeah, the weight is insane. it's a bit much sometimes, but also appreciated. I'd actually like a light superwide for vlogging, looking at the olympus 12mm f2 So many modern lenses and zooms are lifeless and flat looking. I shoot almost all MF primes for video and everything else.
Thanks for the review. The editing was a bit over the top though during the sample shots though. I found it rather difficult to study the footage to take a deeper look at the performance of the product. A helpful review overall though. I gave you a thumbs up. Thanks and cheers.
Hey thanks for the comment and feedback. We were just having fun testing the lens and didn't add 'review' to the title for that reason :) It's a fun lens to film with!
Is 0.95 equals 1.9 in fullframe? Which set will make better video in night. GH5 + VOIGTLANDER 17.5mm f/0.95 or S5 + LAOWA 35mm f/0.95? Which sensor should win ff or 4/3?
Naturally FF will outperform m43 because it’s larger and can let more light in. However, if you look at the GH5s camera, they did an incredible job maximizing that sensor to produce very good low light results. So I would say it depends on the tech involved with the sensor, more than the native sensor size itself. If you’re talking about just the GH5 and a 0.95 lens verse another FF camera with a 0.95 lens, then the FF probably will do better in low light.
You will be happy take my word for it. It's not cheap but well worth it. I used the Samyang 10mm T3.2 before this lens and was impressed with the Samyang. This lens is on another level
@@tonylouisvisionvideography3469 Got mine for around 200USD (with a used GH4 with v-log that was twice that). Surely that's not too bad for this high end stuff (it feels like quality at least)?
Love this review and how you do your filmmaking.. I am new to filmmaking and I owned a nikon d850.. do you have an idea which lens should I used for filming? I am more into weddings and looking something for lowlights. And also how do you keep your subject in focus while they’re moving? Thank you and hope to hear from you.. good work mate!

A Nikon D-850? That is one beast of a camera. I am using the GH5s for video work but am looking at the Canon 5D MK IV or D-850 for stills work. Learn to focus manually. It is the best way. Because you have a full frame camera a F1.2 Lens is very fast a great in low light. A 20mm, 50mm, 85mm and 135mm lens would be a great selection. It all depends on your requirements. A good 24 to 70mm zoom would be great. Try and hire the lens first to see if it fits your needs. If you practice hard manual focusing it will be rewarding.
@@tonylouisvisionvideography3469 Thank you for contributing and helping others with providing your knowledge :) I agree with your suggestions! Although, the 5D MK IV I don't think would be my choice. We're big fans of the Sony A7iii and are considering it because of the low light performance, but in all honesty, for video, the GH5 is pretty amazing.. even the gh4 we used for several years and had great results. As long as you have decent gear, it becomes more about the person and their creative abilities and skills. Thanks for the comment!
I ve this lens but terrible vignette and chromatic aberrations on peripheral areas disturbs me. Do you know which aperture is the best to reduce these artefacts?
Around 1.4 is very clean, but I do have to disagree with you, this lens doesn’t have any vignette on m43 sensors, and I haven’t noticed much chromatic aberrations to call it “terrible”, I’d say it’s the opposite, it’s a very amazing lens.
Hi Ali and Will, nice review. Do you think these give a clean enough image for corporate video? I am looking for something with low light capability that I can use with a wireless follow focus system on the GH5.
Hey, thank you! Yes, the Voigtlander series is probably the highest quality m43 glass you can buy, and the fastest lenses too. They feel really high end, just like high end pro lenses like Cooke, except they’re smaller
@@AlliandWill What is the distortion like on the 10.5? Would it be suitable for real estate work do you think? I've been looking at the 17.5 but this looks like a good wide angle solution for MFT to have in addition.
@@SteveT__001 This is a fantastic lens for Real Estate and it's actually why I bought it, to be able to capture smaller rooms and make them look bigger, plus being able to expose properly in low light. It's not considered a fisheye, but will be pretty wide (21mm equivalent), while also being extremely good in low light. Anytime I need a shot in low light that's wide, this is my go to. It has slight warping if you angle the lens up or down in a room, but that's to be expected from any wide lens. At 21mm I wouldn't say the distortion is noticeable for the actual wideness you are getting. (Unless you put it close to someones face for example, but again, that is expected.)
I have the 25mm as well (v1) and wanting a wide angle lens as well. I’m stucked between this or the olympus 7-14 f2.8 sure the voigtlander 10.5 is faster but i kinda like how the pro lens from olympus looks as i have the 40-150 pro lens as well which is really really sharp and good
Hi Alli & Will, just discovered your channel as I am looking for the perfect Wide Angle lens for my GH5. So its between these: 1. VOIGTLANDER 10.5mm f0.95 MFT Nokton Lens 2. Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 8-18mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. 3. Kowa Prominar 8.5mm F2.8 MFT Lens . Any advice guys which lens I should? Would really be grateful. I am using it for filming video only. I also have the Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 Lens which is great for low light filming.
Hey! Those are some great options! It comes down to your style of filming and the type of filming you normally do. For us, we run a video production company and do a lot of commercial shoots, so naturally we need higher quality glass and faster lenses; prime lenses are the best option for that. This is the reason we only Voigtlander 25mm and decided to also buy the Voigtlander 10.5mm. We can capture any room now and get a great wide view, even if there's limited light. If you aren't doing videos for real estate, or commercial type of content; you might be better spending less and going with a wide zoom instead. It won't be as good in low light, but let's say if you're always outside filming for the type of content you do, it won't be a problem that you're limited to f2.8. I think the 8.5mm is a little TOO wide for commercial work, unless you're capturing very specific things. Although, I haven't tested it. We also own the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 lens for Nikon, as well as a nikon to MFT speedbooster, so that combination can produce great results as well. The Voigtlander is simply just a superior lens though. It's sharper, better in low light, far more accurate, and feels professional. The only downsides in comparison, are it is a prime, so there's no zoom option, and it's more expensive. If you have the money, I think you'll love the Voigtlander 10.5mm because it goes very well with the 25mm Voigtlander. Hope that helps!
@@AlliandWill, thanks for all your advice! Now, someone says I should get the laowa - 7.5 mm Lens as its a great cheap prime lens. What do you think? Voitlander 10.5mm is way to expensive as its £1000! Its a tough one!
@@Filmmaker809 I would base it completely on your budget and needs. We have many paying clients and that means we can justify spending more. If you're in a similar situation, I'd recommend the Voigtlander. If you're doing video for more of a passion, it might make more sense for you to spend less money. At the end of the day, it's just a lens; ultimately, it's the shooter that can make or break the end result :)
That's a fair comment. Well, it is my passion, but I'd like it to be more. Yeah, I am on a budget as I'm planning to shoot a film. Looking at this lens too. laowa - 7.5 mm Lens for Micro 4/3
Hey Dominic, this is a wide prime lens, but I have not noticed the barrel distortion that fisheye lenses have. For a 21mm equivalent, to get f/0.95 is truly amazing! The quality of the glass is comparable to the best in the world. We're really impressed with this lens :)
Yes, naturally this will happen as it's a wide lens, but I haven't noticed the fisheye look the OP mentioned. I own a fisheye lens 11-16mm and a speedbooster, which does produce a bit of a fisheye feel.
Haha the issue with this question is: if I buy a 0.95, it's staying 0.95 forever! 🤣🤣 Too many cheaper wide lenses available with slow apertures for me to ever stop this beast down. Damned be sharpness!
@@AlliandWill yeah, I actually was looking for a fast prime wide lens for my G9 video adventures. I have the Rokinon triplets at T1.5: 24,50,85mm, but always lacked a T1.5 cine wide, which Rokinon doesn't offer, only slower T2.2. This 0.95 might be the answer!
they should come up with a way for your camera to name the picture before you output it. For example, naming it in code like F095X3FT10.5MM so each time you take a picture the name shows up and that could give you a reference but for each picture you take, stopping to name it can be timely. But if you can set up a folder hierarchy where you can save each shot could help you remember. Or you can simply create a task list and set up a range like 10 mins first 15 shots one setting, then next 10 minutes another setting and so forth. Tedious but would be simple if Panasonic comes up with a way for you to easily set up a folder structure with quick naming options. Maybe setting up a menu setting where after each shot, a menu pops up asking what the settings are and which folder you want to save it in and you can name the folders... then it can save to the file. Of course features like time and date are settings in the background, so more than likely they can set up some menu for this characteristic. But I'm curious of what you guys think. Maybe the idea is dumb.... lol.
Ya, definitely a cool idea. I"m not sure how many people would use that feature though. There is some basic meta data when taking photos that helps identify the shot based on settings used. It's not really the same for videos though. The good news is it does name each new clip with a unique continuous number.
I’ve only tried it once on set, but it felt very similar to the other Voigtlander primes. An incredible lens as well. Insane bokeh, very clean image! It’s really good for interviews, mediums/close ups of people. I would have bought it a while ago if I didn’t already have an 85mm and a speed booster :)
@@AlliandWill Thank for the info! i'm need to decide between the 25 and the 42.5 for general low light use for music videos.. what do you think will work better?
Hey Michael, thank you! Since this Voigtlander lens is for M43 mount cameras, you wouldn't be able to put it on a Sony camera. I also don't think they make adapters for it. :(
At f0.95 the image never looks in focus. You may have what you want in focus, but it won't matter because the image is SOFT. As if there's a layer of haze.
As mentioned in the video, if you shoot professionally, this lens at 1.4 is VERY CLEAN. Where'as on other lenses, you'd have to stop down even further to get a clean image since this Voigtlander can open up so wide.
This looks more like a commercial for the lens rather than a review. Unfortunately the reviewer has fallen into the trap that virtually every RUclipsr editor falls into and that’s Over-production! The reviewer spends more time speed-ramping the footage (especially in low lighting which makes it even more difficult to see the footage) making it virtually impossible for the viewer to get any idea of the lens performance - simply put: we can’t evaluate the footage! Secondly, although the reviewer is making a comparison with other lenses, far far too much emphasis is placed on them with very little information about the Voigtlander 10.5 itself!! Here’s some free advice: Learn how to get your message across without distracting visuals - your audience is not interested in your editing skills only the information your video contains (in your case more test footage, not footage of you rabbiting on about nothing!) Also research the lens fully so you have a useful amount of information to give!
Thanks for your feedback. Have a read through the other comments in the video, it seems many others enjoyed it. There is no rule for how a review video should be made. some go in depth and get very technical, others simply explain why they like it and why they bought it and show some footage of them using it, that's what I did. I mentioned what lens it is, it's weight, the brightness, the build quality, compared it to another lens, explained why I bought it and showed a bunch of low light clips. I'd say that counts as a review. Regarding your low light comment; It's the fastest wide lens you can buy, so naturally it makes sense to be used in low light situations. I created this video completely free and had fun doing it. You seem very disappointed in something you've discovered and can consume for free, I'm sorry you feel that way, but thank you for your feedback and will consider it moving forward. Also, I purchased the lens and it was very expensive. It was not given to me, so it's not a commercial for the lens.
This is a great review. I purchased this lens on March 2018 and am blown away by it's performance. I have used this lens many times and everything he shows about this lens is correct. I enjoyed the video. It is very well captured, edited and give adequate info about the lens. Your comment was a little harsh in my opinion. Fantastic video and OMG! FANTASTIC LENS
@@tonylouisvisionvideography3469 Thanks for taking the time to comment and give your perspective! Everyone's entitled to their opinion, so I don't mind FC WHAT letting my know his thoughts; I just disagree with them. I do agree with you in that this lens is FANTASTIC! :) all the best!
A 25mm lens on M43 sensor is equivalent to a 50mm focal length on a full frame or 35mm sensor. That’s literally the reason Voigtlander manufactures that line of lenses. 10.5mm = 21mm, 17.5mm = 35mm, 25mm = 50mm and 42.5mm = 85mm. They made those lenses to cover the traditional set of prime lens focal lengths. So no it isn’t inaccurate, if you watch the whole video, I mention it’s equivalent to 50mm.

@@RonBilevich You're welcome! (It was Will that was helping) lol All the best!
nice video.
is it good for the sony a 6000 ? would i need an adaptater?
thank you.
Hey Michael, thank you! Since this Voigtlander lens is for M43 mount cameras, you wouldn't be able to put it on a Sony camera. I also don't think they make adapters for it. :(
ok thank you .

You're welcome @@AlliandWill
At f0.95 the image never looks in focus. You may have what you want in focus, but it won't matter because the image is SOFT. As if there's a layer of haze.
As mentioned in the video, if you shoot professionally, this lens at 1.4 is VERY CLEAN. Where'as on other lenses, you'd have to stop down even further to get a clean image since this Voigtlander can open up so wide.
i subscribe to your channel, thank you!
Thanks so much :)
This looks more like a commercial for the lens rather than a review. Unfortunately the reviewer has fallen into the trap that virtually every RUclipsr editor falls into and that’s Over-production! The reviewer spends more time speed-ramping the footage (especially in low lighting which makes it even more difficult to see the footage) making it virtually impossible for the viewer to get any idea of the lens performance - simply put: we can’t evaluate the footage! Secondly, although the reviewer is making a comparison with other lenses, far far too much emphasis is placed on them with very little information about the Voigtlander 10.5 itself!!
Here’s some free advice: Learn how to get your message across without distracting visuals - your audience is not interested in your editing skills only the information your video contains (in your case more test footage, not footage of you rabbiting on about nothing!) Also research the lens fully so you have a useful amount of information to give!
Thanks for your feedback. Have a read through the other comments in the video, it seems many others enjoyed it. There is no rule for how a review video should be made. some go in depth and get very technical, others simply explain why they like it and why they bought it and show some footage of them using it, that's what I did. I mentioned what lens it is, it's weight, the brightness, the build quality, compared it to another lens, explained why I bought it and showed a bunch of low light clips. I'd say that counts as a review.
Regarding your low light comment; It's the fastest wide lens you can buy, so naturally it makes sense to be used in low light situations.
I created this video completely free and had fun doing it. You seem very disappointed in something you've discovered and can consume for free, I'm sorry you feel that way, but thank you for your feedback and will consider it moving forward. Also, I purchased the lens and it was very expensive. It was not given to me, so it's not a commercial for the lens.
This is a great review. I purchased this lens on March 2018 and am blown away by it's performance. I have used this lens many times and everything he shows about this lens is correct. I enjoyed the video. It is very well captured, edited and give adequate info about the lens. Your comment was a little harsh in my opinion. Fantastic video and OMG! FANTASTIC LENS
@@tonylouisvisionvideography3469 Thanks for taking the time to comment and give your perspective! Everyone's entitled to their opinion, so I don't mind FC WHAT letting my know his thoughts; I just disagree with them. I do agree with you in that this lens is FANTASTIC! :) all the best!
Thanks @@AlliandWill
like this guy!
Like you too! :)
Pronounciation: "Fohgtlender" (german)
Calling the voigtlander 25mm a “voigtlander 50mm” is inaccurate.
A 25mm lens on M43 sensor is equivalent to a 50mm focal length on a full frame or 35mm sensor. That’s literally the reason Voigtlander manufactures that line of lenses. 10.5mm = 21mm, 17.5mm = 35mm, 25mm = 50mm and 42.5mm = 85mm. They made those lenses to cover the traditional set of prime lens focal lengths. So no it isn’t inaccurate, if you watch the whole video, I mention it’s equivalent to 50mm.
