Title: 58/1,4 NoktonSLII for nikon ais
Post by: Lars on July 22, 2008, 01:39:50 PM

i need a opinion for this classical none AF lens (with cpu.)
Here in sweden its cost about 500 usd.
Voigtlaender has always been a favorite of mine, in the early days, for
its superb lenses .
This new made lenses i dont know anything about  -
if they still are as good as the old ones.

Lars,

I don't have any personal experience with this lens; however, Photozone tested the lens and the test can be found at this link.  http://www.photozone.de/Reviews/46-nikon--nikkor-aps-c/360-voigtlander-nokton-58mm-f14-sl-ii

While they did not praise the lens, they said it was well constructed, "a joy to use," and worth looking at "if you have a soft spot for the more classical approach to photography."
