Voigtlander 75mm f/1.5 Nokton Review

These new CV lens threads are costing me too much money. Wait, no they're saving me the money over the Leica M equivalents

I now have the 35 1.2 III, 50 APO, this 75 1.5, and have the 35 APO on order. Price difference $4.1K versus ~$27.3K for Leica's closest matches.

Really enjoying the 75 so far – just took a few quick test shots today.

I'm not seeing a glow at MFD wide open – but I do see it if I miss focus slightly or have even a little motion blur. No IBIS on the M10-R, and I'm finding 1/500 sec. or higher shutter speed is the magic dust I need for it.

Ignore the f-stop shown on the screenshots below – I have lens detection on the M10-R turned off for adapted lenses, and the f-stops are just guesses by the camera.
