A night shot from town with the 58 mm f1.4 Nokton

Here's a nice one with the 90. I'm loving this glass, but it's making me realize how much of a wider angle guy I am. Part of me is wishing I had the 58/1.4 and the 20/3.5 instead of the FA 50 and the DA 21.

Received my Voigtlander 58 f1.4 today and just so happened to have a photoshoot with a model. So I tested the lens on her.
Here are a couple of sample. Standard post processing applied.

Exceptional. What a refreshing change. Great to see a pro work w/them too. Does the lens meet your standards?

I love the lens. I think it will stay on my Pentax for a long time.

I knew that car dealership looked familiar. . . . Nice to see another Pentaxian from Hilo town

I bought my Nokton in January and I love it. I've used it mostly for portraiture.

A Raynox DCR-250 macro conversion lens attached it to my Voigtlander 125mm. It's sort of fun to play around with, but the hassle to get an in focus shot is not worth the effort. The Voigtlander is a superb lens however and it should be used alone.

Instead of trying to get everything tack sharp I was working on the creamy bokeh instead.

Very boring and rainy outside. So experimented a bit with a light tent. Too bad I have only 1 tiny light atm. which gave some unwanted shadows.

Here's some from the Nokton 58, wide open:

Both shots taken with K10D and the 58mm Nokton.
With glass this good I feel I need a better camera like the K20D.
It handles noise a lot better than the K10D.

200 ISO; f1.4

800 ISO; f4.5 ( a bit noisy due to high ISO)

The 90 likes to get real close...

J.Scott · 04-06-2009, 05:49 AM

I keep looking at pictures of the SLII 20mm I have on order ... dreaming, wishing ....

If someone gets their copy before me please post some pics using it.

ILoveVerdi · 05-09-2009, 09:07 PM

two new photos taken with the 90mm APO-Lanthar.

I can't tell if this lens sits on my camera so often because it's so damn sharp, or because it's just so satisfying to hold and focus.
