Voigtlander 10.5mm f/0.95 Nokton Aspherical Reviews

A lot of fun character

By Chris
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2023-02-03

Sometimes when you hear a lens has character, is a polite cover for imperfections. But in this case, the characteristics make it technically imperfect, but a very pleasing image. I had a lot of fun with this lens. It certainly isn't the sharpest (but can become so if you stop down), but the fun part is running it wide open and seeing the world in a very pleasing, blurry (but not distorted) sort of way. Highly recommend!

Amazing but...

I use it mainly for video with my GH5 and the IBIS makes a weird wobble when you walk around with it. It also is heavy and bulky! But its part of my set and I don't regret buying it.

Amazing lenses. I love the wide and very soft distortion she gives when close to the object. If you want some cinema look in your GH5, go for that lens kit.

Love the Voigtlander!

A friend of mine shots these lens and I love his images, so I broke down and got this one for my Olympus OMD Em1 MKii. Must say that in Hi Res mode, the images are super sharp and I also am taken by the color rendition. Great lens but heavy and a tad bulky. Built to last.

built very solid and delivers great images

These lenses are built like a tank. Everything is solid and smooth, you can adjust the aperture with clicked or clickless settings. This is the most distortion free wide angle lens I have ever used. There is some color fringiness at full open, but its a tradeoff for the amount of light pouring through the front, which lets you take shots in really low light conditions without cranking up the ISO. All in all a really fantastic lens.

Another amazing lens from Voigtlander

This lens is the widest of them I own. It's sharp, well built and the bokeh is amazing. I LOVE these lenses and they serve as my go to with the GH4 and GH5. No speed booster needed.

Pure Joy!

I use this lens on my BMPCC, BMPCC4K and my Olympus camera! Stunning images both for cinematography and photography. In the hands of the right person this lens is a pure joy. I own the 17.5mm as well as the 42.5mm. Love them all! Worth every penny and then some...

question

Can you use this on a dji osmo x5?
Asked by: Anonymous
According to DJI, there are only a select number of micro four thirds lenses that can be used with the Osmo x5. The Voigtlander Nokton 10.5mm f/0.95 Lens for Micro Four Thirds lens is not one of the stated compatible lenses, so it likely will not allow the camera/gimbal to balance. Below is a list from DJI of the compatible lenses:OLYMPUS M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm f/2.0 LensOLYMPUS M.ZUIKO 17mm f/1.8 ?requires an additional weight ring?DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH Prime Lens ?requires an additional weight ring?Panasonic Lumix 15mm G Leica DG Summilux f/1.7 ASPH LensOlympus 25mm/f1.8Olympus45mm/f1.8Olympus14-42/f3.5optical zoom can be adjusted by a sliding block in DJI GO app ?requires an additional weight ring?For more information about this, you could send us an email: [email protected]

I see that some have asked about using this lens for dark-sky photography and that a recommendation was made to stop down. At what aperture does the lens function nicely for astrophotography, e.g., Milky Way, etc?
Asked by: Mark
At aperture 2.0 the lens would sharpen up more and 2.0 would still be good for low light photography such as Milky Way photos.
