Voigtlander 75mm f1.5 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 23, 2024
  • One comment
This lens is a delightful addition to the m-mount system. Its sharpness is commendable, especially at f2.8, although it still holds up well even at f1.5. In very bright lighting, you may notice some ghosting at the fastest aperture, and occasionally there may be some flaring with a noticeable arc. Nonetheless, the bokeh is beautifully vibrant with a touch of swirl in the foreground and only slight chatter and swirl at the edges in the background. This telephoto lens stands out due to its stunning color and contrast, and the overall character it creates at f1.5 and f2 is truly enchanting. While it's not a flawless lens, Voigtlander's 7-element design gives it a unique and classic look with a captivating bokeh.

The Leica Visoflex 2 is a handy accessory for the M11 digital camera, providing an external electronic viewfinder (EVF) attachment. This allows photographers to easily compose their shots and preview their images in real-time, without having to rely solely on the camera's LCD screen. But is it worth it?
