Voigtländer Nokton 50mm F1.2 Fuji review - Jay Massie
“The children of the night; what music they make!”
Voigtlander’s latest Fuji offering is an addition to their goth-approved Nokton line.

Voigtländer Ultron 27mm F/2 Fuji-X Mount Review - Jay Massie
Years of X-Pro prayers have been left unanswered by Fujifilm who, for reasons best known to themselves never gave us their own fully manual, hard stopped, super high quality, small lens. A few third party manufacturers gave us their offerings - many of dubious quality, but now we can finally give a collective “Thank you Voigtländer!”

TTArtisan Tilt 1.4/50mm - Product Presentation - Peter Jakadofsky
Tilt lenses are very versatile, allowing to control depth of field independently of aperture, a unique capability that makes both major technical advantages and highly creative images possible. Such lenses are usually expensive, because they are produced in small numbers. TTArtisan just recently introduced a 50mm f/1.4 Tilt lens, which is an intriguing option to dive into creative images and more specific product photography tasks.

Voigtländer 21mm f/3.5 Color Skopar - Stefan Czurda
21 mm is a very versatile wide angle focal length that I usually really enjoy shooting.

The Voigtländer 21mm F3.5 Color Skopar, kindly provided by Jo Geier, is the protagonist of this review and was mounted to my Sony Alpha 7C full frame camera for over a month.
