Nikon Z 35mm f1.4 vs 35mm f1.8 S – Sample Images

Zeiss Biogon 28mm f2.8 Review & Sample Photos

While this lens isn’t flawless, I appreciate its punchy high-contrast rendering and pop. It delivers a pleasant classic look for everyday or street photography. Optically, distortion is minimal, but wide open, the corners and edges can be a bit sloppy, and there’s noticeable vignetting at f2.8.

Voigtlander 75mm f1.5 Review & Sample Photos

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…
