Some Voigtländer 25mm f/0.95 image samples (Photokina)

The Flickr user “Itemsis” just sent us an email to his latest images samples taken at photokina using the new Voigtländer 25mm f/0.95 on a Panasonic G1. You can see two mroe pictures here at Flickr.
We already posted some images few weeks ago (http://www.43rumors.com/voigtlander-nokton-25mm-f0-95-preorders-on-ebay-and-in-australia/)
If you want the new Voigtländer instead of the Noktor you can preorder the lens on:
- FotoMundus on eBay (Click here)
- Mainlinephoto Australia
- Cameraquest (one of my favorite shops!)
- The classic camera
Let me know if other stores do accept preorders! Thanks!

Actually I like his previous photos on his stream. Apparently he’s used a legacy lens for them since the files’ EXIF don’t mention the lens or aperture. If you’re reading this Itemsis, which lens did you use for those portraits? Also what about the macro shots?
Nice pictures, good job.

Ergonomics will probably be much better than any of the c mount lenses (The Angenieux, specifically, has a very thin focus ring that is located to close to the lens mount), and sharpness – especially around the corners – looks much better probably because this lens is designed for a 4/3 sensor.
I would have bought this lens if I didn’t already have too many lenses that cover 25mm. Good things come to those who wait?

On the other hand, the Voigtländer might produce better results @f/1.4

Panasonic take your time withe the new fast primes, I’ll buy the Voigtänder in the meantime!

Clark
2 years ago |I think the lights give a harsh specular look in the background, where the posted image has a simple background and actually turned out pretty creamy I think.
A lot sharper than other samples I’ve seen, but I wonder if they were from another version of this lens. This might actually be a winner!

2 years ago |@ clark – i’m basing my comment on hair pin on the right side of the frame.
i’m not saying it’s bad bokeh, in fact i haven’t seen anything better from any 0.95 lens.
sharpness looks really good.
anyone care to trade this lens for an Angenieux?
