Comments about Voigtlander Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1 Leica M Mount Lens - Black:
Pros: its a 1.1 , awesome build quality, build like a tank, smooth focusing, included lens hoodPeople buy this lens for the the bokeh....not as good as a summilux, but quite close to the pre-asph lux. Those who cant afford leica- buy this lens.. I was one of them. I mounted this on my olympus EPL-1 with an adapter. cons:- my issue with the lens was the focusing ring, after a week of usage- the focus ring was loose. [...] gave me a new lens...which had the same issue. Perhaps it was a batch issue... Many users have faced the same problem with this lens. But besides this, there is very less that I can complain about this wonderful lens.

Comments about Voigtlander Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1 Leica M Mount Lens - Black:
I have always wanted a fast 50mm lens that I can use in low light on my micro 4/3 camera. With an adapter this lens fits my need perfectly. It is reasonably sharp at f1.1 and gets even better between f1.4 AND F8.0. Focusing is very smooth. It may not be a Leica Noctilux but for me this lens is my Noctilux at a price I can afford. Its performance is par-excellent!

Comments about Voigtlander Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1 Leica M Mount Lens - Black:
As this lens acts as a manual focus 100mm lens for micro Four Thirds my only problem is that while I can focus OK, but I am still a little slow. As soon as I practice some more I believe it will do what I want. Very small depth of field wide open, but that is to be expected with an f1:1.1 lens
