I did not shoot the lenses side by side, if I did the circles from the f/1.2 lens would be bigger in direct comparison. I also expect some swirly bokeh, we will have a look at that in the bokeh section.Īll lenses also show some onion ring structures caused by the use of aspherical elements. Stopped down to f/2.0 the TTArtisan lens looks the best followed closely by the Voigtlander 50mm 1.2, this 50mm 1.5 II being the worst. The Voigtlander VM 50mm 1.5 II shows the highest optical vignetting which is very apparent in the corners. So in the following comparison we move from the center (left) to the extreme corner (right) and see how the shape of the light circle changes.įor comparison’s sake I included the TTArtisan 50mm 1.4 M and Voigtlander 50mm 1.2 here. In the center of the frame almost every lens will render a perfect circle, but only lenses with very low optical vignetting will keep this shape in the corners. Without going too much into technical details optical vignetting leads to the truncation of light circles towards the borders of the frame. Very fast yet compact lenses usually show a significant amount of optical vignetting. This is noticeably more than the Voigtlander VM 50mm 1.2 Nokton shows at f/1.2 and also stopped down I measure still high 1.3 EV. The Voigtlander 50mm 1.5 II is very small considering the combination of maximum aperture and focal length and when it comes to wide open vignetting we already have to pay the toll for that, as I measure roughly 3.5 EV at f/1.5. Voigtlander offers a rather pricy vented hood option here which is called LH-6. Voigtländer VM 50mm 1.5 II MC Vintage on Sony A7rIIĪs is unfortunately often the case for Cosina’s M-mount lenses there is no hood in the package. Out of box the lens was well calibrated on my Leica M10, but it looks to me that true infinity would be a tad behind the hard stop (see sharpness infinity section). The lens features a rangefinder coupling but no focus tab. The aperture ring has equidistant and very distinct half-stop click stops and feels very tightly assembled. Still, the lens looks and feels really solid, all white markings are engraved and filled with paint, the focus ring has perfect resistance and turns about 100° from the minimum focus distance of 0.7 m to infinity. It should be noted the “Vintage” designation is because of the look of this lens, not because the pictures you take with it will look like they have been taken with an old lens, if you are looking for that then “Classic” is the term you need to look for in the Voigtlander portfolio. This is especially true for the bicolor version of the Voigtlander VM 50mm 1.5 II I am reviewing here, as there are hardly any other lenses in the line up that looks similar and it rather resembles some of the earlier Voigtlander lenses. I have said it a few times before: Cosina doesn’t really follow a clear line when it comes to the casing design of their M-mount lenses.
