Ah, so there is a mystery afoot.

I'm sorry to hear it's that for you, but at the same time happy to hear too, as I now know that's normal and not some qc issue attributable to my screen (was being paranoid).

Thanx for the confirm. Maybe it's a behavior of the screen with long lenses only; related to viewing angle & the amount of light you get over an area. You get a heck of a lot of area coverage thus light with a wide angle compared to a telephoto. I've been lazy and haven't attached all my lenses (plus TCs) to determine scope of this behavior. Will do this weekend.

Bought my Voigtländer 180/4 yesterday <3 <3 <3

now I have to find a Voigtländer 125 reasonable priced too :O

[ILoveVerdi]

To the many many ppl who find this their fave lens in their line up - same here!

Three shots below from the lens - heavily pp'ed to bring out the feel of the place.

Funnily enough, I never got the hang of the lens on a DSLR - the shots below are on B&W film, shot on a MZ - 3.

Hey, nice shots! I love this lens a lot, just got it. It's making me crave the same quality in something wider...

Give'n the thread a bump. Took these w/the 125/2.5 at the same time I took some Cosina 55/1.2 shots I shared [here].

The statue & plant still life seen in the other thread was much bolder with Cosina in the ambient afternoon northern exposure light (didn't touch that one much); the one here needed a more significant pp bump...

(was surprised when I saw ISO-1000)

... but the photo rendering with the in-door low-voltage spots when night came around really popped w/the Voigtlander; these 1st & 3rd below un-touched & 2nd barely re-touched:

I have always wanted the 125mm f/2.5 but I guess I'll have to Settle for a Carl Zeiss 100mm f/2 macro that only focuses down to 1:2....boo hoo

My V 180/4 is perfect to bring to concerts

A few with my new 90:

Oooh, 100mm f/2. I'm salivating. That sounds like a perfect lens for me; I didn't know about it until now. Is that an A lens or K mount? ...and, put it on an extension tube, and there's your 1:1.

[Digitalis]

I checked the price for that Carl Zeiss f/2 macro and it's about $1932 USD or $3080 Aud....ouch.

Ok these are Voigtlander shots but they are not from a Pentax body. I have the 58 mm f1.4 Pentax mount coming but it is not here yet. So I made do with the Voigtlander 40 f1.4 Leica M on a G1 body.

Forgive me please.;-)

with the VL 125. I forgot to re-set the focal length (so it shows 35mm in the EXIF)...



Be well

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.

what camera do u have ? is it easy to notice by view finder wheter the object already in focus or not..? or we have to pay attention to focus confirmation also.

Oops, sorry for the late reply - am using the K20D and the MZ - 3 for film. Not much problem with focusing, just need to squint.. heh. Most of the time with the super thin focusing plane with the vt 58 nokton, I find that camera share is my main issue, not the actual focusing.
