@atticusd

ok thanks for the reply... so its not just mine it does it then....

i could see it went past the middle of the infinity icon, i thought it was a problem at first

its no big deal just wondering... cause i'am sure mine did not do it when i first got it

@sid It does focus beyond infinity. Look at the scale: it you turn the focus ring all the way up it actually goes past the infinity mark.

i love this lense and not had it off my camera in months.... i agree the build quality is excellent...

i've just noticed it does focus beyond infinity...

is everybody elses the same?

a leaflet came with the lense that says hot/cold temperture will cause it focus beyond infinity.

but this is happeneing even at room tempeture...

just want to know if this is normal for all of them or just my nokton?

its one of the earlier 2010 batches i think

@PhilMyself your work is Great! Wow was the Music video done all on the Voig,,25MM?

Hi,

how is your experience with an infinity focus of the voigtlander 25 mm? From which distance does it start? How does the apature influence this? Looking forward to your replies! :)

I don't know much about 50mm 1.1, but ETC is overrated. Nokton 58mm 1.4 SL II is an alternative.

Hello ! Here is a video I've made with this great lens. One of my favorite for my GH2.

@csync Cheers! Putting it together in the cold of winter it makes me yearn for the sun and the general lovely atmosphere of Edinburgh too, let alone the craziness that Fringe brings. Glad it brought back some memories for you!

I finally put together a video from my Edinburgh Fringe trip last year. It was all shot with a stock 1.0 GH2, the Voigtlander 25mm lens and an ND filter. It's quite long (15 minutes), and just touristy highlights of the Fringe. Still someone may find it helpful. I really like some of the shots of the crowd where even though its focussed at a few metres away there's still a distinct focus fall off infront and behind the shot. Preaching to the converted here but all audio is in camera and sounds pretty good a lot of the time. Why is it out of all the camera manufacturers only Panasonic bothered to make a half decent on camera stereo mic!!! Whenever the GH2's successor's released I sure hope it keeps or improves the quality of incamera audio capture!

I have just purchased a mir1 37mm f2.8 on ebay, and I'm wondering if anyone can comment on wether it would work well in a set with the voigt 25 f0.95. while it is not as fast, it does have the same amount of aperture blades (10). And at 37mm (aka ~74 on GH2), f2.8 is often sufficient for reasonably shallow DOF.

Or rent it when you really need it...

Bought it quite liked it then sold it - loved my Rokkor 58 1.2 MC more for character and sharpness in the sharp focus realm - obviously not same FL but hey ho, and then bought 5 LOMO F2 lovelies instead - far more character if you can live with the quirky focus! IMHO Nice if you like it squidgy wide open and want a shoulder like Popeye's lol
