Comments about Voigtlander Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL-II Manual Focus Lens for Nikon Film & Digital Cameras:
This lens is sharp and has nice bokeh, but contrast is little bit low at wide open aperture. Bokeh is more creamier than my Nikon 50mm f1.8D. One thing that really bugs me is distance/aperture index ring is too small. It is too hard to grip that small ring to attach and remove lens from camera body. But overall I love this lens.

Comments about Voigtlander Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL-II Manual Focus Lens for Nikon Film & Digital Cameras:
I wanted a fast portrait lens for my Nikon D300, and went back and forth on the Nokton and the Sigma 50 f/1.4. I ultimately chose the Nokton, and have been really happy with it. Nailing focus wide-open takes some practice, but stopped down to f/2, this lens produces wonderful results - sharp & contrasty with wonderful blurry backgrounds. The fact that this lens is nice and compact and sells for under $400 makes it an even better deal.
My 4 (instead of 5) star rating only reflects the fact that shot wide-open, the lens does lose some acuity and contrast. That being said, images captured wide open are perfectly usable providing you nail the focus.
Shot at f/2
