Care to Guess the Lens?

[photophorous]

Busted. I just wanted an excuse to post some of my recent photos. But to make it interesting, let's see who can guess which Voigtlander lens I used to take these. 😀

[Donovan]

Hmm, definately seems like a 50 to me. I'm gonna say a Heliar 2.0

 

[erikhaugsby]

50/1.5 Nokton?

 

[foggie]

heliar 75mm 2.5

 

[Roberto]

I guess..

I guess..

it is the CV 50/2.5

 

[Hibbs]

I'm with Donovan...50/2.0

[Jamie Pillers]

I'd guess the 40 Nokton, based on those two little bokeh circles in the third photo.

 

[ferider]

Heliar 50/2 ?

 

[Abbazz]

I would say a Heliar 50/2 too. Nice pictures BTW.

Cheers!

[oscroft]

40/1.4 Nokton

 

[Sparrow]

I think they look like the 50/f1.5, but it’s a trick and they’re actually the classic 50/f2; is it on cn400?

Guessing Heliar 50/2

I like the first and third shot! well done

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

I'd guess the 40 Nokton, based on those two little bokeh circles in the third photo.

My thought exactly. Could be the 35mm f/1.4 Nokton too, they have virtually the same bokeh rendering.

 

[nzeeman]

heliar 50/2? and my second idea is notkton 40/1.4...

 

[photophorous]

And the winner is...

And the winner is...

50/2 Heliar Classic.

That means 36% of you were right, and 71% picked the correct focal length. Considering that the Heliar Classic supposedly has a recognizable signature, I was curious to see how many folks would actually recognize it, and I think you guys did pretty well. Thanks for playing and thanks to those who liked the pics.😀

Oh, in case anyone's curious, this is Tri-X at 400 in DD-X.

[nzeeman]

do you maybe know which f stops you used for these photos?

I didn't vote, but I would have said Heliar 50/2 Classic, too. I would have not recognize the signature of lens, but my assumption would have based on your Flickr-groups at your profile page. Voigtländer 35/2.5 and Heliar Classic 50/2 lenses are on your group list. 🙂

I'm pretty sure the first one is f/2.8 and the last one is f/2. I'm not sure about the middle one, but it's probably f/8.

Yeah, I was hoping nobody would try that hard. 😀
