Images from Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1!!

[benny]

Hi guys,

Just took receipt of the new Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f1.1 and took a few shots with the Epson R-D1 and Zeiss Ikon loaded with Kodak Porta VC 160. Here's a few sample images from the R-D1. The film images will have to wait as I'm not done with the roll yet.





Both image shot wide open at f/1.1 at ISO 200 on Epson R-D1.
Unadjusted and unsharpened JPEG image straight from camera on standard settings.

More images will be uploaded here on my flickr account when available. Contacts marked as friend can access the full size images off the cameras/scans.

An additional image to show it's proportions relative to the Leica M6 TTL.



And another with the supplied hood with reference to the Zeiss Ikon.



More pictures showing the proportion of the lens with other cameras here.

Hope it's useful for those considering this lens...

Cheers,

It's very very useful, thanks!

From the images you post, it looks like an f1.1 version of the 'lux to me. Love the smooooth. And sharp.

Super creamy... Hope this lens will bring down the current prices of fast lens.

I just got the lens from chiif this evening, didnt have time to shoot with it yet.

From your pics, it's very nice wide open and it looked damn sexy on the M6 :thumbsup:

Since so many people ask for it...

Here is my default model...

With Nokton 50/1.1 shooting at night is a breeze. :bigeyes:

Some street test shot at ISO 160

Tested at other aperture too, IQ is good.

This lens is value for money compare to Nortilux.

You should just get over it and buy this lens... it cost nothing compared to the Leica lenses... a beat up lux cost much more (at least twice) than this new beast.

Hi guys,

I just updated with some more test images.


ISO 200, 1/45 sec, f/1.1 on AE mode. Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1 on Epson R-D1.

Unadjusted and unsharpened JPEG image straight from camera on standard setting

I did a ten picture series comparing Gommy's Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.0 with the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1 shot wide open, f/1.4, f/2.8, f/4.0 and f/8.0 at 1 m.

The Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.0 picture are here.

The Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1 pictures are here.

Cheers,

Great comparison shots!

The only difference that I can spot is that the Noct extends its DoF to the front where as the Voigtlander extends it to the back.

 

[Daikoku]

at F1.1 , the Nokton seem sharper

 

[chiif]

My comments on your flickr...

"Not to be bias... The Nokton seems to be much better wide open than this copy of Naughtilux that you have...

Could you have used a lemon Naughtilux?" :bsmilie:

 

[kross]

The noct probably just front focus on the rd1. It is sharp or in focus between the sonnar front element to the film box. Very thin dof compared to the nok which seems to have doubled its dof. The nok is no doubt sharper but at f1.1. still I'll go for the nok any day.

crap!! value of my noct is plummeting... rating has changed to "sell", more specifically, "sell and buy a nokton"!!

or as benny has advised me, you can buy 4!! :bsmilie:

Benny's lens.. Manage to play for a while together with a Noc..

Nokton is freaking sharp but Noc is dam freaking creamy... So depends what u want to shoot actually.. Color actually looks better with a Noc on M8 but Check out this Nokton
