Voigtlander NOKTON 23mm f/1.2 ASPH and VM-E Close Focus Adapter II Confusion

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 11, 2022

The Voigtlander NOKTON 23mm f/1.2 ASPH was first leaked here and details about the lens were announced here. We also published the announcement of the Voigtlander VM-X Close Focus II here. These products are even listed on Cosina Voigtlander’s website. So it is a bit strange that asobinet and Digicame-info are reporting these products will […]

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 22, 2022

DPRTV posted a video today about Medium Format vs Full Frame vs APS-C, but it seems they conflated a lot of medium format secret sauce arguments into a pretty good equivalent FOV/DOF comparison. Arguing about the look of medium format is much like arguing about the Leica look, you either see it or you don’t, […]
