Review: Voigtländer 50mm f/2 APO-Lanthar
Today I’m reviewing the Voigtländer 50mm f/2 APO-Lanthar – an all manual lens for Sony E-Mount. In 2021, you wouldn’t think that fully manual lenses would be gaining much of a foothold in the photographic world, but Voigtländer has managed to create a wonderful line of E-Mount lenses that have been largely successful. I’m sure…

A Fall Morning Along Tinker’s Creek
I had a chance to go out yesterday to a nice waterfall and stream nestled in the suburban sprawl of Cleveland, Ohio. Tinker’s Creek is one of the tributaries of the Cuyahoga River, and the falls are near where an old mill once stood. Despite the lack of rain in Ohio over the past month,…

Review: Voigtländer 12mm f/5.6 Ultra Wide Heliar
Cosina, the manufacturer behind the modern Voigtländer brand, has been producing outstanding optics for the Sony E-mount for the last several years. I’ve reviewed several of these lenses, and have been regularly impressed. Voigtländer has managed to produce high-end manual focus lenses that rival the very well received Zeiss Loxia line in many ways for…

Voigtländer has been steadily releasing a rather full complement of lenses for the Sony E-Mount, from their ultra-wide 10mm and 12mm offerings, to the classic rendering 35mm f/1.4 to extremely high-end macro lenses like the 65mm f/2 and the new 110mm f/2.5. Today we’re looking at one of their newer designs, the Voigtländer 40mm f/1.2…

Review: Voigtländer Nokton 42.5mm f/0.95

They created the fastest optical lens in the world in 1840, the original Petzval lens, which was a screaming fast f/3.7. Ok, screaming fast for 1840. They also created the first…

Review: Voigtländer Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95
There are fast lenses, and then there are FAST lenses. The Voigtländer Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 definitely falls into the latter category. In fact, at f/0.95, it ties with a few other lenses, including its 25mm Micro 4/3 brother, as the fastest lens currently produced for an interchangeable lens camera. Faster lenses have been made, but they have…
