Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S
Voigtlander Z 50mm f/2 APO-Lanthar Aspherical
The shootout from f/1.2 to f/5.6 compares the Nikon Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S to our 50mm reference lens, the Voigtlander Z 50mm f/2 APO-Lanthar Aspherical on a finely detailed landscape scene at distance.
It confirms and reinforces the findings about the damaging focus shift behavior of the 50/1.2S as proven in View Over Beaver Pond Down Canyon.
