I looked through the whole Voigtlander Bessa threads and no thread for sample images at any f/stop for the Nokton 50mm f1.1..
So, I thought I would I'd start one...Maybe, it will be a "sticky" if enough people participate. :cool:

I have a few images. I will list the ones I can remember.

I really like that last one, DNG. These are all wide open.

I am very proud of this one--wide-open, scale-focused and shot from the hip! It's on Fuji Minicopy film.

I like #2...Just waiting for their part to come up and play.
#3 is quite interesting with that high contrast copy film.
#1 is like a Alice in Wonderland image.
 
nice shots guys, I love the in/out focus effects. Would you characterize this lens' contrast as medium? High? medium-high?
 
From looking :eek: at these photos
I'm beginning to Fall hopelessly in LOVE w/ this lens....
that money shot is STELLAR !!!

I think I want ONE
soon ...very soon !!!

I'd say ??... I scan with no adjustments, and add a little contrast in post. So, it's not too high.. but not low either. Good for BW., Which may be an advantage in low light photography..to help keep the tonal range long in tooth. The image of my wife (in 1st post) is with florescent lighting mostly and ceiling spots aimed high that has little effect on her, except hot spot reflections.
 
Around the yard last night with the Nokton and M8. I just love this combo...wide open of course...

At minimum focus distance, the DOF is just insanely shallow...
