Pros: Image quality, portability, a "once upon a time" lens
Cons: Not to be used if you are in a hurry, not a high definition, soft colors, if it is a defect, but buy something else, the focus with low resolution mirrorless viewfinders
Opinion: I love Voigtlander optics, my first camera was a Vitoret, all manual, not even the exposure meter. After buying the 27mm for Fuji (Ultron), four months ago I found this 35mm 1.4 Nokton for Sony. It has become my walking optics for outings in the countryside or in the city outside of work. On vacation I take the Leica Q2, before the Fuji X100VI, everything is there and you can shoot even with your brain disengaged. When you shoot with Nokton it is like smoking a Fonseca or drinking, while tasting, a Bas Armagnac. They say that you build the shot in the brain, nothing could be truer with the Nokton. Focus aside, it should always be used in manual, or in aperture priority, since here, fortunately, the ring is there. The image quality? Excellent if you want a photograph that comes out of the shot with a "human", analogue look. Not suitable for those who want to have the personal data of every single pixel. Shine on you crazy diamond on vinyl, not with a 24-bit, 192 kHz HiRes file. The main flaw is not in the lens, but in the body you use. The body I own is a Sony a7II, for the use I make of it really good. The viewfinder, however, is certainly not a joy. The resolution and magnification of the digital viewfinder are not the panacea for manual optics. It helps, or distracts, focus peaking, but I recommend the Nokton on systems with higher resolution viewfinders. |
