I was looking for a different lens for my Nikon Zf, Nikon has a plastic lens mount 40mm f2 but I don't like the build of the lens and while it's not a bad lens it doesn't do much for me as far as photography goes, I came across the 40mm voitelander f1.2 ,I was looking to get it on B&H PHOTO but they were sold out, Adorama camera did not have it listed, I ended up getting one on Amazon, I don't buy camera gear from them so I will see how it goes, I think it will be a good lens to use on the Nikon ZF. Take care, nice video.

Hi James, you will not be disappointed, it's a great little lens, fantastic in low light situations

this video has me truly contemplating do I get 35mm or do I go for 40mm. I'm so confused! oh, and I love the composition of the your photos.

[@lonewolfphotography]

Thank you. I think it would come down to personal preference, and if you require auto focus. I find 40mm is the sweet spot for me between 35 and 50mm. The voightlander is a cracking lens tho👌

[@JBurtonTenor]

Thanks for this. I loved your images. Which button did you use to zoom for focus? Thanks

[@lonewolfphotography]

Thank you. As soon as you turn the barrel to focus, the magnification automatically kicks in. It's a very good feature.

very nice photos and edits! i cant decide between 40 vs 50 mm i want 40 but i also have sony 40 2.5g , idk if i should buy 40 1.2 and sell sony or buy 50 1.2 :/
also you are using E version of this lens , is there spesific reason you choose it over SE version?

[@lonewolfphotography]

It is a tough choice. It depends what you are shooting and what you are comfortable with. I used the 50mm 1.2 in Tokyo and thought it was a bit too tight for me. I do prefer the 40mm focal length. But the 50mm is an excellent lens. To be honest, I didn't know there was another e mount version, so just went with this one.

Incredible. Thank you. Do you use presets? If so, do you mind sharing which ones? Your editing is superb.

[@lonewolfphotography]

Thanks very much Michael 🙂. I've an ongoing love hate relationship with editing! I would cycle through the standard presets in lightroom to get an idea of the look I want for each image, and then replicate the look via the hsl sliders and colour wheels etc.
