The Voigtlander Nokton 75mm f/1.5 is a fast, all-metal lens designed with excellent build quality and image quality in mind. Today, I wanted to offer my full review of this manual focus lens and show you how it performs both in the field and in the lab.

Modern digital cameras are amazing. They are devices capable of nearly any photographic task thrown at them: high resolution images, eye autofocus, blazing fast frame rates, and much more. I use a Nikon Z9 for my daily work, and it does everything I need it to do without any issue or challenge. With all that being said, however, it’s not a device that brings me joy to use. It’s a tool, and it does its job well. But the reason I got into photography in the first place was not to use a tool, but because I love photography. Film has been making a comeback for the past several years, and I thought that it was something I’d like to try.

From time to time, it’s good to step out of your comfort zone and try something in photography that you know almost nothing about. Not only can you learn something new, but you might also have a lot of fun doing it! I recently had the chance to shoot some BIF. Usually, that stands for “bird in flight,” but in this case, the “B” was a beetle. A bird or a beetle – what’s the difference, right? From a photography perspective, not much, really.

No, this won’t be a classic in-depth review like the ones you’re used to seeing on Photography Life. I spent too little time with both the Canon RF 200-800mm lens and the Canon EOS R7 for that. In fact, I only used this combo for a few days during which my usual 500mm f/4 suddenly “fell ill.” Before it spontaneously recovered after a few days of bedrest (how, it remains a complete mystery to me), some friends lent me their backup equipment.

I’m excited to announce our next workshop today, with the return of our Colorado Fall Colors workshop this October to Ouray, Colorado! We look forward to welcoming you to one of the most beautiful destinations in the world for photography at the best time of year.
