That Voigtlander 1.1 is a keeper. Not to forget a good investment as its price seems only to raise. And what a bokeh and subject separation. In fact, as seen @ 1:38 you can notice the need to pay attention to the depth of background on every corner as you have a totally different right and left BG (Maybe negatively called for, as stealing the show from the main subject). As for CA, for me, a person that shoots a lot with older lenses is just nothing. That is if you compare it with any typical lens of that era what really shines in terms of purple fringing. Love to see more on the TLR you show at the beginning of the clip too. Reminds me of very old days and nostalgia of Lubitle, the cheap but workhorse of novice shooter with a pro result for the days.
I believe this TLR is a Mamiya C220 or C330. These 6x6 are very interesting, just no removable back. Thus I put a 100 ASA in the 220 and a 400 ASA in the 330, as they have the same choice of lenses.. The 330 is perhaps a few heavy.
@@MBJanus Mamiya was always one of my favorites. Even the name is sexy. I had even their 35mm SLR that used to have an electronic feature and beep sound that for the day was super innovative.
@@samsen3965 I have a RB67, and, more seldom in France, a Mamiya Press Universal. This one has a back too and accepts 6x9 normally, but 6x7 if you want. It has a telemeter, but is perhaps heavier than the RB67..😊 I dont know their 24x36, I will give a look.
Hi)I'm going to bye this lens for the same setup.Can I see your pictures taken with this lens and also I'm not sure about bokeh and autofocus performans on 1.1, could you share your expereanse a bit?)
Good morning Mathieu ... One lens you need to test is the Tamron 135mm f2,8 Adapt-Matic. I used this lens with an Asahi Pentax and a Contax always with Agfachrome 50 or Ektachrome 64 slide films. This lens has, besides being very clear, a magnificent color reproduction.
I love Voigtlander, almost all my lenses are made by this company. Did you try to print your photos in larger format then8" by 6" ? Large prints looks amazing with painting effect. Thanks for sharing this video :)
It is worth mentioning that this lens works better on nonsony bodies due to the fat filter stack in front of the sensor. But overal yes it is not the best fast 50mm.
@@tithund well it is :) try the Canon 50 1.2 or even better the 50 1.0 on Sony and Canon body and you will see the difference. Every fast vintage prime benefits a lot from the lack of fat AA filter. There was an article about it with samples here phillipreeve.net/blog/

I like the dancing girl.
yeaaaaa someone noticed !!
@@MathieuStern Since you were allowed to try anything I would have tried her 😛 😜 😝 🤤
Cummon you're French !!
@@MathieuStern Who is the dancing lady?
DIDN’T KNOW you could get FOCUSED at f/ 1.1! I just did a review of canon 50mm f/1.8 but this lens is on another level!
filmsbylow true!
filmsbylow that’s crazy 🔥
Star Royal 💯
Lawrence Karpeh haha yea
Every lens, without exception, is *always* in focus - it's just a matter of getting light rays from the subject to coincide with the sensor plane ;-)
I have the 1.2 - I never really talk about it because my channel is all about keeping things cheap - but I love it very much : )
I have the f1.5 for LTM! A bit older and slightly hazy but I got it for $150 so...
@@aloi There's quite a few LTM lenses I wish I had - they all seem quite pricey though lol
curious how it looked in low light.
I have a Olympus 55mm 1.2 and I love it, great shots mate.

One of my favorite lens. Used as manual focus mode or auto focus using TechArt Pro on Sony a7III.

Then, iam happy with my 7artisans 50mm f/1.1
Great simple review, cheers from Indonesia.
The Hexanon 57 1.2 beats this lens hands down, especially when you do the bokeh modification to the 57 1.2
I really enjoy your videos. Keep shooting with weird (and sometimes expensive) lenses!

Its amazing that the lens draws around the subject "focus lens"

Is this an f1.1 or f1.0 ??? At 4:02mins it shows a f1.0
Mathieu this is awesome
I feel like you don't understand the point of this lens. It's not about sharpness, of lack a of chromatic aberation.
I think this is re-upload?
I got one of these lenses, aside the several defects, it is not easy to have a good focus with an old M6 and it telemeter.
Would love to see a comparison of this and the Kamlan 50mm 1.1 mkII
I have both. Kamlan wins
It is worth mentioning that this lens works better on nonsony bodies due to the fat filter stack in front of the sensor. But overal yes it is not the best fast 50mm.
I've not heard about the sensor filter layer being a problem with any lenses that aren't wide-angle.

Damn, Kamlan Mk II seems sharper wide open.
You should try Nikkor 50 mm f1.2. better and much less expensive
I think, with my tests, Nikon 50/1.4 performs way better than 50/1.2 ... both similarly priced.
Happy 2nd of December 2019!
Bienvenu a tous
Looks nice but the bokeh is too busy
I don't like the bokeh at al. I wrote this before the video got to that point :-))
a lot of drawbacks on that 1k lens, too much hype around Leica stuff (thanks to all Leica fan boys who will dislike)
