Re: A comparison of the Voitlander lenses (50 f/1.2 for Fuji X mount with 50 f/1.2 for Sony E mount cropped and 75 f/1.5 for Leica M
I decided to shoot a plastic bust with strong side light (it is window light) and some back light in front of a window with some foliage in the background. It was on a small table in our sunroom. It is a fairly ugly bust, but is pretty much head sized. It does not have a lot of detail on the surface. I will give close ups of the focus area (the left eye of the bust) and the bokeh to the right of the bust as you face it. I did my best to try to keep the magnification the same in the comparison which was a little tricky given the different pixel densities and using APS-C and FF 35mm. Note for the close ups they are pixel level on the CVX 50, to keep magnification the same I downscaled the CVM 75 shots and upscaled the CVE 50 shots.
I also used the metering of the Sony camera (I am using an A7r V) to set shutter speed (they were all shot at ISO 125, the base ISO of the Fuji). Then matched that on the Fuji. This means the CVM shots were underexposed, so I adjusted that in post when I brought them into Photoshop effectively turning up the ISO on the CVM shots. I did not disable the profile corrections on the either 50 and as an adapted lens the CVM 75 did not have profile correction (I suppose I could have enable that in post, but I didn't). Auto WB generated very different WB between the cameras, but I like the Fuji WB better so the used the Kelvin for that for all shots.
Here are the wide open comparisons. First the whole scene, then the close up of the focus points, then the close ups of the bokeh.
