Used Voigtlander Nokton 10.5mm f/0.95 Manual Focus Lens for Micro 4/3 Mount

Big lens, very well built, and the only one (as far as I know) with such an aperture on the market for an ultra wide angle. I bought it to replace my Zuiko 12mm f2 in low light conditions. It is sharp but you do not expect less for a Voigtlander with this price

I just love it to death! This lens is so much fun to use, a perfect companion to my Voigtlander 25. It takes a great picture. I've read varying opinions about its sharpness, but that attribute seems fine to me. The lens is big and heavy, though not out of line for my camera (Olympus OMD EM5 II + Fotodiox grip). It focuses easily wide open; it's hard to miss the exact point of perfect focus with the camera's magnification feature. Wide open, one can see in the dark through this lens. I've used it a lot for astronomical pictures. At 0.95 even a short exposure causes the heavens to blaze. Stars toward the sides exhibit considerable coma--similar to that from the 25, maybe a bit more--but it isn't that big of a deal. There is some distortion to the sides, most noticeable as buildings and people lean inward. That effect can be fairly strong. I'm getting used to framing with that in mind. I also have software that copes with it, when it matters to me. The benefits of the super-fast aperture are everything one expects. Amazing subject isolation on an ultra-wide! I'm still experimenting with the possibilities. I've used the 10.5 on two sight-seeing excursions in the last month. It has consistently pleased me. I highly recommend it.

Extremely sharp pictures and vivid color. Very addictive and easy to use
