Noctilux lite
1 of 1 found this helpful The Voightlander 1.1 does pretty much everything the Noctilux does, but for a price that will let you take it out and use it. As with the Noctilux, you don't want to throw it wide open into high contrast lights, because you are going to get pink halo chromatic aberrations, but that's to be expected with such a wide aperture.
It's pretty sharp throughout, but starts to slightly vignette wide open, which depending on your preference is either stylishly cool, or a deal breaker.
I have been using it for about a year on my Sony A7SII, and it's a solid all around lens. It's a little hard to get the 1.1 dead on with manual focus, but can be done, and looks Noctilux buttery smooth.
I probably wouldn't be up for buying many other lenses for my street photography style, if I wasn't trying to get the occasional long focal length shot of a volcano or something.
However, the biggest downside is the 1m minimum focus distance. It's an absolute struggle to take photos in the car, or at dinner without going right back against the wall. And that's the only thing stopping me buying the compact voightlander 35mm f1.4 too. 70cm minimum focus just isn't enough for casual close-ups.
Pros:
Low light +
Bokeh+
Contrast +
Clarity +
Cons:
Wide open abberations -
Minimum focus distance -
***
Note: the Voightlander 1.1 realises bokeh a lot smoother than the 1.0 for whatever reason, and is the main reason I chose the 1.1 over the 1.0 . Thanks to the review by Kai over at DigitalRev's Youtube channel.
I added one of the more wide open shots I have taken since I don't tend to go faster than f2 often, this is one of the only wider shots I have to demonstrate the potential.
