I recently got the Voigtländer Nokton 50mm 1.0 Aspherical, although I normally never use the focal 50mm ! But this comming winter I want to do some low light street/urban photography without pushing the ISO, so when I saw several reviews of the Nokton 50m 1.0, ten I knew I had to get it, I could always use it as an APSC Lens if I did not like it, but now I have tried for some time at low light, with aperture 1.0 at ISO 100, it is a gem, very nice rendering and sharp from center to corner at 1.0 ! I also tried it at aperture 5.6 in normal daylight and it is very sharp at 5.6 ! Colors and contrast are very nice, so I can highly recommend the Voigtländer Nokton 50mm 1.0 Aspherical. I have seen reviews where the 1.0 is compared to the 1.2 and the 1.0 is superior, so anyone thinking of getting a 50mm 1.0/1.2, then take the 1.0 !
Thank you for the pictures and review Tim. I agree, Voigtländer makes some very good lenses and especially the ones for Nikon. I have the Voigtländer SL II - S for the Nikon F-Mount to use with my Nikon Zf. These Voigtländer lenses are perfect for travel and they produce respectable images. Good luck with your lens!
That's a nice combo as well! Heard lots of good things about the adapter too with its ability to set infinity focus of the lenses properly. Great to hear you're enjoying this style of shooting too
Hi there. Can you just give a few details on how you use a manual focus lens on your Sony? I have a Sony camera but I have never used a manual focus lens on it. Do you use focus peaking? How do you manage fast situations? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for this video and details about what seems a killer lens. Just to add, I do try manual focus on my AF lenses sometimes, but it seems like a very slow process, good for landscape or very static subjects... EDIT: Lol... must saw your previous video :D
Great, you already found the video 😄 regarding your question on fast moving subjects though you will at some stage get in trouble with manual focus. If there's enough light you can of course compensate by closing down the aperture and thereby gaining more depth of field, but that of course also has its limitations.

I haven't used that lens myself but I can imagine it's amazing. Happy to hear your enjoying it that much!

@@cameraprepper7938 This one 58 mm / 1:1.4 Nokton SL II - S, along with the 90mm, 40mm and 28mm
@@---us7qf Yes I know there are (was) several Voigtländer Lenses called SL II-S, that is why I asked, we are not mindreaders 🙃
