p.1 #1 · 20mm f/1.7 vs. 40mm Nokton for close-up photography...

...okay, this is an admittedly silly comparison, but I'd taken photos of the same subject with these two lenses, and figured I'd share them together. The Voigtlander 40mm f/1.4 was stopped down a lot more, and I was hand-holding disconnected from the mount it to get closer focusing and a bit of tilting. There's definitely a lot of Lightroom tweaking, etc. so take these with a grain of salt.

Different subject here, but same deal. I think I'm going to have to fashion some sort of toilet plunger bellows for the Nokton...

For what they want for it, I would rather put the money towards a Novoflex Balpro Tilt/Shift bellows.
