Not every camera in history succeeds, but some deserve to succeed despite being under appreciated with a reputation that often and unfairly damns them to be forgotten.
Voigtländer has several fast M-Mount lenses in the line-up: The Nokton with f/1.0 and the Nokton f/1.5 appear to be interesting alternatives to Leica’s similarly speced, but far more expensive Noctilux and Summilux lenses. Part 27 of our M Files series reviews the two Voigtländers in this truly classic focal length.
Light Lens Lab re-made another classic Leitz/Leica lens: The first Elmarit 28/2.8, also called 9E for its nine elements, comes with an interesting mixture of old virtues and modern improvements.
