Will Cosina release the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1 this summer?

somehow, not as exciting as it seems... has dam hash bokeh compared to a Noct from the samples pics.

Use the slideshow feature, the smaller versions don't do it justice.

I agree that it's not a Noct. Certainly looks better than a Noct from the first set of pictures. At least from the few that I've handled.

Vignetting seems reduced. So is the veiling flare when shooting wide open. Minimum focusing distance is still at 1m though.

I think Flickr does some form of sharpening for the smaller images. So these small images really doesn't do the picture any justice. Especially for the bokeh.

Let's see if there will be some unadjusted and unsharpened higher resolution pictures soon.

Cheers,

benny, I think if you work for the straits time, you will beat Leslie Lopez to get the Mas Selamat story first... :bsmilie:

Who cares about Mas.S , we want the C.V.N

 

[Daikoku]

Any pictures of the C.V.Noct ?

Things like this force a young boy like me into prostitution.
Mid next month doesn't sound like much time left for me to start funding!
