Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5 II Vintage Line

[taemo]

finally got my nickel MC version and really happy with it, this will be my primary 50mm lens as it is smaller than my 7A 50mm 1.1 and punchier than my collapsible summicron

have a mini lens taab on its way in case I want a focusing tab

For those of you contemplating a PIXII, the choices in lenses is limited due to obstruction of the viewfinder. I have been using the 35/2 Ultron II and the 28/2 Ultron II, but I'm very much liking the 50/1.5 Nokton II as its very compact size stays out of the viewfinder, and it is very, very sharp. This was cropped considerably. F/5.6 on the PIXII.

Of the current crop of Voigtlander highspeed aspherical lenses this one might be the best mix of size and image quality. It isn't as sharp in the center of the frame as the APO-Lanthar or the f/1 Nokton. The bokeh isn't quite (just barely) as nice the faster Nokton either. BUT...it is relatively sharp across the whole frame at all apertures (even wide open). It is also extremely portable. Also, the bokeh is phenomenal (out-of-focus specular highlights are a little oddly shaped at full aperture, but everything calms down by f/2. We truly live in a wonderful time. Sooooo many great lenses to choose from.
