Has any of you guys tried Nokton 75/1.5 in Sony FE mount already?
The FE version is not available in the market yet and Cosina hasn't yet announced it officially (only pre-announced at CP+), so the release date is not yet known. I was expecting/hoping that it would be released in June but Cosina didn't announce anything for June release. They usually announce next upcoming release(s) by middle of previous month but there were no announcements of any new releases in May so far and it's getting to the end of the month soon...
I guess they will release the Sony FE version at the earliest in July and in that case the official announcement about the release should come around mid-June.
I did try a pre-release version / prototype of the Sony FE lens at CP+ briefly and I'll order it as soon as it gets announced.

All at F1.5 except the sun.

I have to ask...
Any direct comparisons of the M version vs the Nikon Z mount version?
I am debating which mount to get, the M mount would be more versatile, I could then enjoy it on many different bodies/systems.

Not that I can find in a quick search. I suggest you do your own if you are near an urban area with good stores. I have the VM and at 350 grams it sits on my M>E Novoflex for an all up of 386 grams.
Back in the day, Fred used the VM on a Sony and found it favourable, the lens has (slight) curvature on both Leica and Sony, he reported. It's a nothing issue for me.
Its haptics were surprisingly controversial on release, but I really like them - the shorty hood, the narrow rapid action focus ring (see my comments in the Sony thread)
https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1861369/#lastmessage
..the ease of use of such a fast lens at that weight, the beveled and inaudible front aperture ring, the narrow focus ring (to avoid being bumped inadvertently), 58mm filters, multi-mount versatility, and fine performance on the Sony sensor for normal usage by normal people not swayed by perceived faults (many of which are design features in any case).
So it's more than just as weight difference (530g -vs- 386g) issue. But being a traveller, if i take three such lenses, that's 1590g -vs- 1160g, it equates to another lens! And the VM is definitely more pleasurable to use. And as a fan of aesthetics:
'Classical exterior
A design with a classical taste is utilized for the exterior. With all parts made from metal for excellent feel and operability, the lens delivers joy of ownership.' Hear, hear.

What is the favorite adapter of choice when adapting M to Nikon Z?
Especially asking those who have possibly tried different manufactures.
Thanks!

Hobart's Cornelian Bay Cemetery. The authorities moved most of the dead from central Hobart's St David's Park in 1872. But still thousands of corpses lie just under the surface at St David's. Many Australians have ancestors there as Hobart was the second established settlement after Sydney. My people arrived in the mid-1850s, for example.

Tasmania is a very dark place during the winter solstice, latitude the same as Chicago but with a marine climate.

Hobart cemetery, probably shot at f2, or maybe f2.8 - for a little more micro-contrast.

Very nice shots, Philip… starting to regret selling my copy last week!
Would love to see those parts of the world one day. An old (still young…) friend has a winery in the Tamar Valley which I hope to visit one day.

How could you sell this one! Joking of course, it's always bitter sweet selling lenses to do something else. I have to do this soon myself with several, now Fred has convinced me to get the UT treatment for the a7rII.
Tasmania is the least changed part of Eastern Australia, still very traditional, the most 'Australian' region we have. The natural world is more beautiful than photos can convey. I'm not helping am I?
I hope you get to go some time. My heart is in Hobart, a genuine bohemian city - some kind of racial memory thing that can't be explained. The past is ever-present there.

I'll post this one from the first outing around people. I was at f2 or maybe f1.7, just had to shoot fast and still working on what aperture to use - I favour more stopped down than many others. I use f3.5 for the 100mm, f2.8 for an 85mm, maybe I'll settle on f2.4 or so.
Your subject stands closer than 85mm (many of those breathe out to 90mm plus) or 100mm, you need good DOF for full faces. But I posted because you get an idea how impromptu shots look, the rendering. You'd think this is a portrait lens, but I see it as an fine all rounder: landscapes, buildings, detail, lots of detail, people. Very good stopped down, great colour, a reliable lens in an often difficult focal length region.

I visited Hobart in the '80s ... lovely and quaint. So smitten by it I wanted to name a child after it (but got overruled
).
The Wrest Point Casino was good to me also
... and I LOVED the white tea. The harbor scenes in the early morning light were sublime. Probably one of my most favorite "hidden gems" in my global travels.
Did I mention I really liked Hobart?
As to the Voigt 75/1.5 ...
The only thing that bugged me about it was the breathing when changing apertures on the rangefinder. I traded mine for the Leica 75/2.4 ... and kinda miss the Voigt at times. +1 for a good all-rounder.
