Voigtlander 40mm f/1.4

Does anyone have any examples of OOF areas using this lens on the wider end of

the aperture scale?

Thanx Trevor,

 

Im looking for something similar to my 35 Lux in coverage area that actually looks good in the OOF areas. I have the VC 40mm f/2.0 in a Nikon SL mount and that is ceertainly creamy in the OOF areas. Do you have anything taken with it outside by chance?

<p> Outside stuff, yes but not wide open. Sorry </p>

<p>This one's at fairly close to the subject, f2.8, Fuji Astia, with the MC version of the lens.</p>

<p>For more, I've got a whole bunch <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jviiret/tags/voigtlander40f14nokton/">here, all taken with the 40 Nokton MC</a>, and there's also a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/nokton40mm/pool/">Flickr group devoted to the lens</a> with lots of images in it. You should be able to find some examples of the lens's results in most scenarios there.</p>

This was shot wide-open with the S.C. version on Fuji Reala:</p>

The Bokeh really smoothes out when you close down a stop.

I really like this lens. This was shot at around f/2 if I recall.<div></div>

So much for the quality of the near vs. far bokeh: one being "bad", the other being "good". Both look good to me, IMHO.

And one wide open for you.

That's lees good. Everything seems to be bokeh, LOL. I was briefly tempted to try the lens, but my resolution is less gear of all types. Hell, because of my job I rent furniture. :*0

 

Thanks
