Voigtländer 50mm F1.2 Nokton review by Marc Alhadeff: “it’s a special lens”

SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Voigtlander 50mm f/1.2 FE lens:

The Voigtländer 50mm F1.2 Nokton (1100 euros) is a special lens:  it offers a very nice rendering for portraits with good separation subject background when taken from 3-4 meters and nice glow for very close shots while keeping good contrast and enough sharpness (not like some F0.95 lenses that are completely lacking contrast and sharpness)

Closed down to F2 it becomes a classical 50mm for which you can find alternatives that are sharper , with AF

So this lens if really for people loving the rending at F1.2 and more focus on the atmosphere this lens can give than on pure sharpness numbers

Pros

Average

Cons
