Q2M w/B+W dark red filter. Sky has been full of wildfire smoke for almost a year here, so I'm still photographing the same plant in my yard to pass the time.
The dark red filter seems to darken the green plant spears as much as it does the sky. Lifting the shadows in post also lightens the sky, so there's one of the obvious drawbacks of not being able to convert from color. Still, I like the result. What I'm not liking is the abysmal corner sharpness at infinity for anything below f/8. Leica really needs to make the Q3 have a larger lens without so much software distortion correction, especially at these unforgiving resolutions on a monochrome sensor. As it stands, the Q2M at infinity is medium format in the center, kit lens in the corners.

But the price hike for the 75/2.4 Summarit wasn't worth it for me (the 75/2.5 is much cheaper but I read the image quality of this bit older 75 mm Summarit f/2.5 version is not the same as in the newer f/2.4). So far I am very happy with the CV 75/1.5 which positively surprised me how well it works already wide open.
Yes, I had the VM 75/1.5 previously, and probably would still have it if I didn't get a great deal on the Summarit. I do like the ergos & size of the Summarit better, but Nokton is faster & a very good performer for sure.
In fact, I picked up the VM 50/1.5 II Nokton on Fred's recommendation that it was very similar in rendering to the 75/1.5. I'm sure you'll get good use out of it, enjoy!

I've been without a mount for this lens (Elmarit M 28/2.8) for a few months ... just hooked it up to the XP3 (likely until the CL2 arrives).
It's beginning to fall into that "dead cold hands" territory.
I dig the drawing style, but the ability to crop deep is a nice bonus. How deep ... I think that's the weld on the spire.
It seems like the lens holds up to pp (crop / adjustments) really well. Not that I'd likely go as deep as shooting the weld with a 28 (42 on APS-C), but for a WA (normal FOV on APS-C), it sure let's me see things that my "normal" eyes cannot.

+1. Voigtlander has really stepped up their game with the great range of high quality lenses they offer now. I always liked Voigtlander lenses even long before they became so well known. I am currently forcing myself not to click the buy button for either the VM 50/2 APO or the VM 50/1.5 II. I love the images I see from both lenses including the one you just posted.

Finally got around to editing some shots taken at the UC Davis Arboretum. I just haven't been shooting lately and I feel like I haven't even uploaded anything (personally) meaningful since March. I edited these shots in Capture One and liked figuring out how it works. It definitely feels a lot more intimidating than LR, but I do enjoy figuring things like this on my own. Who knows, maybe it will inspire me to continue to finish editing out the "keepers" of the set.

The 50 1.2 Nokton really surprised me. The image quality as well as the lens build and the price. I really like the way the lens renders especially wide open.

One thing which is rarely mentioned by reviewers and users of CV lenses is an issue which occurred nearly on all my CV lenses (CV 35/1.2 II, CV 21/1.8, and CV 12/5.6 II): the paint especially on the focus ring tends to get off easily showing the metal underneath. I read that CV supposedly improved on this in recent years, but I didn't buy a new one since (and my 75/1.5 is the silver version). Is the CV 50/1.2 okay regarding the black paint since you have been using it? The issue of course has nothing to do with optical performance of the lens, but it will affect resale value in case the paint loosens.

It has started to thin is high use and high contact areas but for me its not an issue as long as it remains in good working order and mine is still good. Both of my M 10s are getting well worn and my original MM has a lot of patina for lack of a better word ha ha. I buy equipment to use so it is probably going to get banged around a bit. I'm usually not easy on equipmenrt.
