Voigtlander NOKTON 75mm + Hasselblad X2D

[jonathanfuller]

the 75mm f1.5 is one of my usual walk around lenses on my s5 (along with the sigma 45 2.8 and 24 3.5)! I really love it for street work, the short telephoto focal length is so versatile & it's tack sharp when you need it to be, dreamy soft when you don't. You're right though - manual focussing at f1.5 can be a bit of a crapshoot! V interesting to see that it's usable on medium format, and love your portraits as usual.

How funny - I was using this lens on the X1D II - it's terrific! In fact the Voigtlanders are phenomenal value glass - the contrast + pop they provide at their price-point is crazy. Try 'em on the Z8 or Z9!

Thanks for this review of the Voigtlander on the X2D and the some of the challenges of the manual focus shooting wide open.

Excellent video and model. Very informative regarding the tradeoffs of this type of lens on the X2D.

14 bit plus ibis ❤ thanks for the tip . Just bought the x2d today without lens in availability in Australia, everything with Hasselblad is no available . I have to put in order and wait but never know when I can have xcd lens . Seem my Leica M lens and adapter is a good choice for now .

Please do more of Voigtlander lenses! They are so underrated.

Thanks very interesting test. Adapted lenses are a lot of fun thanks for sharing. She is a very good model.

i have a Nokton 50mm f1.4 for F mount and they have such gentle classic bokeh 👌🏻...great shots

[zephany]

Wish one day you can try the X2D with the Voigtlander APO Series Lens!

Great testing for adapted lens on X2D for reference, how’s the vignetting level ? Is it serious on M to XCD adapter ? Thanks

Hi Matt voigtlander just delivered this lens for z mount. So if the Nikon guy is still alive in you a test with the Zf (the look of the voigtlander seems perfect for it) would be appreciated :). Do you think it’s possible ?

[andyvan]

nice to see you back, and great video, good to get into the nuts and bolts of a new camera, PS have you got any more hasselblad courses, as you said you had a wide experience with them, it would be good to see some H and 907x content as well.

Id like to see the Noct adapted to the Hasselblad

[ironmonkey]

For fine focus move your head/camera back and forth forget about the ring.

[Capcity]

Matt, is this the Nokton 75mm F1.5 or the F1.9? There does not appear to be a Nokton F1.8

[goorackerelite]

wow the xcd lens looks leagues ahead of the voigtlander

Matt, link for sample files doesn't work.

she is very nice but is it still necessary to wear a mask?
