Just curious if this was EFCS? (The yellow flower photo above shot at 1/6400 shutter speed.) I like the bokeh quality but wondering if or how much EFCS might have distorted it.

Good question. As long as I can recall I always shoot mechanical shutter, but alas I checked my settings and some point in the past I set my R5 to EFCS and never set it back to mechanical. My R5 MKII is set to mechanical. Today's forecast is 60% showers so won't be shooting today.

One thing I can say I am really enjoying shooting with this lens. As much as my as I enjoy shooting my VCMs this Voigtlander is definitely giving a different rendering than the 35 VCM (colorwise and look) and I plan on using it often.

The only downside I have experienced is shooting at 1.4. Hard to nail focus handheld. I am relying on magnification but even then the slightest movement while pressing the shutter button has an impact. Of all my manual focus lenses this one seems to be the most challenging to keep the focus at 1.4 handheld.
