Voigtlander 25mm f0.95 Camera Porn

[soundimageplus]

Since there aren't many (I certainly have only seen one) pictures of the lens on m4/3 cameras, I've shot a few images of the Voigtlander 25mm f0.95 on various m4/3 cameras which I happen to have here at the moment. (Don't ask!!) Since I don't have Peter and Mikes more atmospheric locations, (just a very wet Worcestershire) I'm waiting for some decent weather to post some shots taken with the lens.

Few quick thoughts-
Its actually really easy to use (I used it on a GH1)
The close focus is wonderful.
Boy is it sharp!

Enjoy!

I.
WANT.
IT.

Thanks, nice pictures.

Does it feel to big on the E-P2?

I really can´t afford this lens before maybe 2011..

 

[akulya]

I had been saving up for the Pana-Leica 45mm...

Now I would really, really like to try one of these out.

(breathe, keep wallet closed, rationalise...)

Not big, though it is quite heavy, compared to other m4/3 lenses.

 

[Dunkeld]

Adapter required?

I read that this lens is m/43 friendly. Does it need an adapter for an E-P2? If so which?? Does anyone know of a China stockist for Voigtlander??? I did see Hong Kong mentioned, and I'm in Guangzhou very soon, which is a short bus ride away. Of course a GZ stockist would be better if anyone knows of one there.

How is the balance and focus?

 

[soundimageplus]

No adapter required it has a m4/3 mount.

I like the balance, but then I like slightly heavier lenses anyway. I use a lot of M-Mount lenses on m4/3 so I'm used to that kind of weight.

I was amazed as to how easy it is to focus - an EVF is best for this, I'm not sure I'd want to focus at f0.95 on a screen. Even at f5.6 & f8 you can still see the lens go in and out of focus quite easily.

I am waiting also for results of this Nokton on NEX bodies. Adapter is already on eBay.
Looks that only small vignetting can be expected. Than we have ~37mm (@35mm).

Even if lens would use subpart of NEX sensor (crop) - that would be also interesting to compare it with u43 sensor.

 

[soundimageplus]

A m4/3 to Sony NEX adapter?

 

[PeterB666]

I will be getting a second camera on Friday so will be able to submit some hard-core porn soon.

In the meantime, a bit of gratuitous cross-posting of images ...

I was wondering about this as well.

I got this on Friday and shot some of local bands Saturday night. Here is a link to nor of the two sets of shots.2010-1113 Covered w/Jam w Ron Holloway at Dogwood Tavern - a set on Flickr. These were wide open. I did use some toning in Lightroom. Used an EP-1.

 

[linkedit]

I would sleep with that lens on my pillow if I had one lol

 

[Boyzo]

That lens is decidedly "Retro" with engraved markings paint filled (just how they were yesteryear and Very !! durable) not like the new plastic fantastic's with screen printing that wears off)

looks best on the E-P2

 

[OzRay]

Does it display the typical purple fringing that's evident with the other fast lenses from CV, when used wide open?

Cheers

Ray

 

[philipg]

A must-have lens

A beautiful lens.

It should produce wonderful bokeh.

Experience is a lens, through which more detail can be seen.

 

[Jamus]

Man, I am indeed tempted. But I think I would buy the Nikon 50mm 1.2 before I went for the CV.

So sorry to hear about your situation. I hope you get a pillow soon...
