Voigtländer 75mm f1.5 Nokton VM

The lens has a magical touch. It works very well with the Z !
I especially like how the foreground/focus area is separated from the background/out-of-focus areas.
I am looking forward to seeing more photos!

Thanks Peter, I agree with your comment on foreground/background of this lens.

+2!

Works like magic. Foreground and background bokeh look equally good, no disturbing artefacts. This is where the otherwise remarkable Tamron SP 90/2.5 or Nikkor 105/2.5, for instance, are less satisfactory (Tamron makes FG bokeh look better, Nikkor is the other way round).

The mushrooms look like their are preparing a mass demo against the tyranny of angiosperms.

Thanks Airy!

I also bought a M to M43 adapter (luckily it's very short) so I can use this lens on my Olympus camera.

This combo looks like this (image shot with Z6 + Z 50mm f1.8 lens, handheld at 1/15sec iso 4.500, amazing quality at high iso)



and this is an image I shot with the Olympus + Voigtländer 75mm @ f1.5. This image showed a lot of purple fringing which I removed in post.

... and the result is excellent. What was the PP software ?

Thanks Airy, both images processed with Capture One.

Wonderful images! Manual focus has the added benefit of speeding things down a bit - Resulting in more joy shooting, usually,,,Thx for sharing!

Erik, you hit the nail on the head. This lens like other manual focus ones kind of changes my mindset in a pleasant way when shooting with it.
