wrapping up the month/year/decade, etc....
my review of the Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f1.4 SL II:
an impressive lens, but that was the reputation going in...
I bought this lens used from another PF member here and it arrived in new condition (boxed, OEM hood and caps) and at a surprising price ($400 US), but remember that, since they are no longer in production, you'll be shopping for a used lens...
having used the Ultron 40/2 in previous months, I expected the quality of a Voigtlander and was not disappointed - engraved markings, tight tolerances, metal build, smoooooooooth focus ring...
but, like the good, you're interested in the bad and the only thing I've gleaned over the last month is occasional CA in super-high contrast shots, and easily correctable either by stopping down or in post...
that's it - that's as bad as this lens gets...
but the good - color, clarity, bokeh, all in spades...
and the shots!
and the rest of the month's shots:

in short - if you are looking for a midrange, manual focus lens with superior optics, this one should be on your short list...
