Voigtlander 75mm f/1.5 Nokton Review
Now is the CV 65 the better lens is really the question one would have to ask as that lens to me would be the changing of the style of look your after . Its a APO lens so sharpness does not back off so that lends itself to being more clinical in look. Now I loved the CV 65 and if you where primary a landscape type shooter than it maybe the better choice here. Actually it maybe the better choice of anything out there, its a brilliant lens. For me I may add the 110 so i have one rocket ship of a lens in my bag. I would use the 110 more for landscape with my 50 . 21

My real question to myself is I had the Leica Summarit 75 2.4 which i liked but got caught up in another lens purchase so i sold it. Is this better and to be honest I think the Leica was identical on Big Bronco. Here I get a faster lens for focusing to as Im going to shoot a lot of F2 but damn some of these 1.5 shots are really sharp. Im going to plan on keeping it and take it on my vacation and get some more shooting in

Here is what i like and you all know I'm a big lens whore so certain things stick out to me. Not sure what it is but right after the focused area whatever is behind it goes soft really fast. I mean the distance behind the focused part is very small. This is really nice as the bokeh jumps right in hard and fast. Looking at some of these images I posted and others its pretty obvious, kind of why I said Summilux. Obviously corrected better . The other thing immediately is color, this samples i took I did absolutely nothing to them and the color is jumping off the screen. The other is tonal range separation the transition zones are like butter. So the lens has some really nice qualities plus comments from others are on the same thought pattern as mine. If been around a lot of glass it may not be perfect technically but the damn look is just gorgeous.

Honestly its nice to have one or two lenses in your bag that act like this and have one or two marvel of a sharp lens as well. Nice to have those options out there
