Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL-II

Just posted in my review of the Nikon D800 is an evaluation of the Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL-II on the Nikon D800.

At about $489, the Voigtlander 58/1.4 might be worthwhile for those looking for a classic portraiture or similar lens, but it’s not going to win any converts in the sharpness department. If anything the Nokton 58/1.4 is the “anti Summilux”. It is also available from Stephen Gandy over at CameraQuest.com.

See my list of Nikon gear with in-stock status at B&H Photo.
