I’m curious how the 50 apo would do with portraits. I know some don’t like to use an apo for portraits. Is it generally too perfect?

I find this argument about the APO lenses so silly. There are 100 ways to soften a portrait in post if needed.

No one would pick up the Hasselblad 90V for portraits if this argument held any water.

I was just saying this to someone. Why couldn’t you do it in post? And only if an issue was there because of its sharpness.

I love the look of people with the 35 apo. I can only imagine the 50 would be great as well.

I think the APO 50mm works well for portarits, the photo of my daughter at the café on the last page is with that lens, F2.0, SOOC.

I find this argument about post production so silly. There are 100 ways to soften a portrait with a lens if needed.

A sage can play the fool, but the fool can never convince others of his wisdom.

(Cross-post from Nikon Zf thread.)

Last evening I went to shoot some stars with my daughter, but nature had it's own idea of an amazing show. Haven't see this amazing auroras even in Lapland. This was only 1.7km from our home, by the still frozen lake Vitträsk in Southern Finland.

I've just switched from Fuji to shoot with Nikon Zf as my main camera (my daughter used my Fuji X-T30II that I kept) and the first lens I got was the Voigtländer 40mm f/1.2 Nokton. Don't have any wider lenses YET, so this had to do. And oh boy it did...

This was funny timing btw, I had just re-bought the Gen 1 50 APO, comes today (I have so many 52mm thread lenses I wanted it to match). I'll see if my ever reluctant model will allow for a portrait or two.

I was silly to sell my 50 APO in the first place, but at least I got one back for the same price.

With all due respect... you share so MANY photos without telling which lens was used. You're not being helpful this way. Why even bother sharing ...
