The 50/1.0 Voigt is one of my all time favourite lenses, especially for environmetal portraits at f/1.0

Very nice environmental portrait, Frank!

I got the Z1.2/50S, the 1.4/58G, the OM Zuiko 1.4/50mm and the OM Zuiko 1.2/55mm and several others in that range


For AF the 1.2/50S is superb and that is why I also decided to give me the Z9 as a treat for easter

Difficult to describe.


The Zf feels just perfect with the Voigt 1.0/50mm I feel like in the olden times, it slows me down


The Z6 feels alright with the 1.2/50S, the Zf not, I guess the Z9 will be perfect


The1.2/50S is perfect in her response to the Z AF-System. Fast and reliable. A dream come true

***This guy was waving the flag and I still got a lot of biting sharp shots with eye lock on but not at f/1.2 at f/2.0 but with the Z6

***second shot is a guy moving towards me. eye AF, for shots, three sharp on the eye, one on the nose

***third shot is action at f/1.2 girl & boy on spot


****shot four: boring portrait@f/1.2, but you can see the bokeh and tell yourself if you like it

Verdict: the 1.2/50mm rendering is very creamy when it is shot with a good distance between subject and background. At f/2.0 and f/2.5 pictures look a tad harsher, a bit like the (in)famous 1,4/35 Ai-S. I prefer to shoot her at f/1.2 that is why I paid 2500€ for her when she came out

Many thanks for all your experience and lovely images Frank - the Voigtilux looks really tempting
