Review on Voigtlander 42.5mm f/0.95 Nokton Lens - High-Performance 42.5mm Lens by Montrell Copeland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pro videographer - love this lens

This (and all Voiglander Nokton M4/3 lenses are amazing. From day one of use I don't want to use any other lenses for video. The image is much more cinematic (slightly less contrast and video-y, as the Panasonic 35-100mm and Panasonic Leica 25mm I also have) a very flattering look with this lens. For video, f0.95 is pretty sharp and still manageable depth of field if you're within the range are I shoot weddings and commercials for a living and I love what this lens is doing for me. Focusing is incredibly easy as it focuses entirely manually and not by cable , I like it. It's difficult, too to my other lenses when it comes to ease of use and image quality It's not cheap for an M4/3 lens though it's worth it. they were on GH3, recently switched to GH5 and it's even more amazing).

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • volume
