Tried my 21mm f/4 Voigtländer Skopar lens on the Z50. The 21 is in Nikkor S(RF) mount and is a good test subject to learn whether an adapter is precisely set to the required register distance. Most cheap adapters are not.

The 21 mm lens, being petite, makes for an inconspicuous package in conjunction with the small Z50. The geometric distortion is very low for a lens this wide and it is eminently suited for architectural photography. Or any other applications, I presume.

I actually found the similar inconspicuous Voigtländer 20mm f/3.5 behaving quite well on the Z6.
See whether i can come up with an example or..

"Woman on Mars"

Today I visited the exhibition "One Way Ticket to Mars" in Kunsthal KAdE Amersfoort/The Netherlands.
My wife, being a real sci-fi geek and official Trekkie went along. She would join a Mars mission in a heartbeat. Hence the title, as a hommage to her :)

This artwork is made out of polyester, nails and metal pushpins and made my Belgian artist Jan Fabre in 1979.

Thanks John. Not bad for ISO 3.200 with that smallish sensor, and the fantastic Oly 12-40 helps a lot. Best zoom lens I've used.

I like your image too, excellent colour composition.

Unusual scene, very intriguing, like a play.

Not much interesting bokeh effects with the 24-70/4 ?

Looove the way you put that voigt to use.

   The 24-70/4s is still giving me mixed emotions. It is VERY useful. Came with me to the recent Rome trip and It is so versatile with very good optical performance -but vignetting, I find it too much at times- The thing is I keep using it but can´t get excited about it. I´m lucky to have more interesting tools at my disposal. I´ll keep it. 400€! Time will tell if ours is a long time relationship.  :)
