>>4302280Love the 50 apo, use it a ton. My only complaints would be lots of cat-eye / swirly bokeh at f2, and sometimes it feels too contrasty.
Consider the Voigt 50mm f1.2 too,
>although not a f/1 lens, the Voigtlander 50mm f/1.2 Nokton compared favorably against the Voigtlander 50mm f/1, sharing many of the same qualities while being smaller/lighter and producing a more pleasant and even rendering. This is due to less pronounced field curvature and lower optical vignetting. However, it is ~1/2 stop slower and not equipped with a floating mechanism which means lower performance at minimal focus distance. I consider it a great alternative for those who prioritize rendering and don’t mind spherical aberration when shooting wide open at close distance.I use the 50 Nokton f1.5 II alongside the APO, very different look and absolutely tiny.
