Super Members Mattias Burling Posted June 23, 2017 Super Members Share Posted June 23, 2017 That looks pretty darn epic @kidzrevil! Me on the other hand is at home celebrating midsummer instead of shooting the streets. But I did adjust one of my Minolta lenses that had trouble reaching infinity, and thought it could be nice to document incase others get the same issue in the future. kidzrevil and Chris Oh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidzrevil Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Does anyone have any experience with the nikon/canon mount voigtlanders ? Namely the 28mm f2.8 color skopar, 40mm f2 ultron and 58mm f1.4 nokton ? Im really considering picking them up over my nikkors because they are tiny and manual focus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had other posts in this thread with them as well.

Razor sharp, too. The 58 can come across a little harsher on detail than the rest of the set, and has edgier bokeh, but it's still solid and an important focal length to have.

kidzrevil Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 @TheRenaissanceMan I love the rendering of them judging from @Geoff CB videos. The 40mm f2 caught my eye the most out of the set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 40mm f2 caught my eye the most out of the set The 40mm is my favorite of the lot, 28mm a close second. Others come close, but the 58mm renders differently. Don't underestimate the 90 3.5 and 20mm 3.5, don't have a large aperture, but they have a ton of separation and great rendering. Best thing about these is you can get all of them for around $500 or less each. TheRenaissanceMan and kidzrevil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 @Geoff CB been wondering if they are worth switching out my nikkor set for ! The rendering of the voigtlanders give the image a lot of pop even on crop sensors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Anyone have experience with the ZF Zeiss lenses? And is the ZF.2 50mm that much better than the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought the 17.5mm after considering getting a Metabones SpeedBooster and some fast adapted lens and can only say I'm happy I decided this way. It's a great lens, both from a mechanical as well as an imaging standpoint. The downside? I now really lust to have the others!

jase Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Guys, I need your advice for yet another "guess the focal length" session: For sure the first 30sec are GoPro or equiv. But after that...? I really like this immersive feeling and would like to adopt such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look wide enough to be 35mm, doubt they would handhold/rig anything over 50mm. Could be a 40mm pancake also...? While I'm here, are there any native Sony lens users out there? I'm looking for some full frame options and would really appreciate feedback from folks on here if they had a favourite native lens. I love the character of vintage, but after doing event coverage last week, I'd really like the option of using some versatile zooms or solid, easy to use native primes. I have my eye on the 28mm because it's cheap, but I can't help but think that's an awkward focal length on full frame. The 35mm Sony is, from what I can see, way overpriced for an f2.8. As is the 55mm Zeiss, while the cheap Sony 50mm got awful reviews for it's AF. The only lens that might tempt me is the Sony 85mm f1.8, but I rarely do portraits. I wish Sigma would hurry up with their native E-Mount ART lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would doubt that. take this shot for example: I tried to to that with my GX80 and the Pana 15mm and put the camera close to my chest and I did not get a similar FOV. My guess is that this is more sth like a 24mm (FF equiv), but I am not sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it a go later when I have my camera and 24-105 at hand. jase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Sigma would hurry up with their native E-Mount ART lenses. Personally, the 55 1.8 is the lens for me. It can be found a LOT less than its list price (I paid a lot less even fairly early on) but to me it is worth every cent and has spoilt my lust for older 50-58mm normal lenses (I have had a lot and still have a few that no longer get a look in unless used on my M43 camera). What about the Samyang 50 1.4 AF FE mount lens if price is an issue? Also, the 28-70 FE kit lens is a nice enough handy lens (at least on the lower pixel count cameras) and for me, my native E mount lenses are the 55 and 28-70 and will soon add the 85 1.8 and that will do until I add another next year (maybe) with adapted lenses for the rest.
