Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f0.95 II

[Guest]

I've just taken delivery of one of these beauties. Tomorrow I go out to play and will, hopefully post a few examples from the day here tomorrow evening.

Does anyone have direct experience/tips for this lens? It'll be mostly used on my E M10.

Try going to a 100% zoom on the centre of the photo.

Initialtests on a dullish day suggest aht at f0.95 the DoF is minimal, as f1.4 better and by f4 positively huge!

Today I had a walk locally and took several photos.
First pair is of a fence post!

I'm very impressed with how sharp this lens is!

It is my 2nd fav lens the Oly 75mm being the 1st. At f1.4 it can cause serious damage it is so sharp.

Yes I noticed that. Also at f0.95 the DoF is minimal, but, by the time you're down to f5.6 it's immense!
