Voigtlander Lente Aesférica f/1.5 de 50mm Nokton

Comments about Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.5 Aspherical Lens:

I bought this lens as an alternative to an expensive Leica 50mm Summilux. The optical quality is excellent with nice bokeh. But after six months of average use, the lens filter and aperture rings got so loose that they were about to fall off. The lens was sent back to Japan for repair, but I ended up with a refund. Back to Leitz or Zeiss from now on.

I bought the lens to use on my Canon 7, which is a rather large 35mm Leica Thread Mount (LTM) rangefinder camera. I actually prefer smaller f2.8 range lenses, but the Canon just looked strange with a small lens, so I bought the Nokton. The Nokton is big, fast, and has gotten great reviews on [@]. The build quality is outstanding. It has half-click stops on the aperture ring, and comes with a hood and a large all-metal cap that fits over the hood. I have taken several rolls of film with it now, and find that it has outstanding image quality and bokeh. I have since sold my Canon 7 and now use this lens on my Voigtlander Bessa R, which does not seem to have enough base length for proper focus at apertures near or at maximum. The 50mm Color Scopar f2.5 might be a better lens choice for the Bessar R, but the Nokton is not that much more expensive, and it is big enough to have more of a "pro" look to it which you might find useful. Overall I am well pleased with this product.

I wanted something that would work in the blues clubs I frequent and in low light outside situations. This lens fills the bill.
I was pleasantly surprised by the highlights which complement the outdoor portraits I have done with it.

I would reccommend it.
