Voigtlander Nokton 50/1.5 Review

The Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.5 (made by Cosina), is a sharp, fast lens that is not excessively large. We buy fast lenses for their speed, and this lens performs great wide open. Some complain about the quality of the out-of-focus area, but I think it good. You'd have to spend 10x the money to get an incremental improvement in quality (Leica Summilux 50/1.4)
