A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Voigtlander Ultron 40mm f2 Nikon F mount.

How does this compare to a 50mm or 30mm 1.8? Besides the obvious focal distance.

Don’t know actually. Mr.Leica on YT has a video about the Voigt and compares it to a whole lot of other Nikon 50’s.

I’ll see that and up you to the 35mm f/1.7 LTM.

I have Nikon F-mount film cameras so I haven’t looked at anything else than F-mount.

Oh certainly, wasn't suggesting you should have, but the 35/1.7 is just 🤌🏻

I have the 40mm 1.4 Leica M mount and love it. I am sure the Nikon F mounts are also a dream.
