Last night we hade some heavy wind come in, our landlords flagpole and our tomatoes couldnt take it anymore.
Today we went horse trailer riding. Scary shits. I DONT trust those animals.
Funny when they yawn though 🙂
All shot wideopen, the horse with the 17.5 and the rest with the 42.5. With the Em-5
When you edit the pics from the Voigtländers you gotto be somewhat carful with the “clarity”. The somewhat “busy” character of the bokeh in these lenses tend to be more apparent if you (like me)
prefer to push it quite a bit.
Its better to use clairity in selective ways rather then to use it across the entire frame, if you ask me that is…
Laters.

So here is finally a post, have been working for a few days and i havent worked up to shoting/posting. CA keeps accuring. But the most apparent thing i have noticed over the last few days is that there is alot less Coma then the 17.5mm has. and its definitely sharper aswell. Have had the CV 42.5mm f0.95 for 3weeks now? And its really awesome. Sure some CA, which i have been bitching about, that goes for both the 17.5 & 42.5.
Well, to sum up so far. Its sharp (even wideopen). slightly sharper then the 17.5, it has alot less coma then the 17.5. Colors are better (not alot), bokeh looks pretty much the same (good) its alittle smaler, 3D pop feeling is better. And on the down side? Well nothing really…
And about the images. Shot wideopen with the Em.5 + Nokton 42.5mm f0.95, hld6 (first part)
Got super lucky nailing that fish on the fly @f0.95. Took it at the weekly fishing competition in Torsång. Man those old men/ladies can haul some fish! The rest of the pics are shot at random places around “town”.
Läjters.

Some shots from around the house. Foggy and not to apealing today. Im sure some great photo opportunities hade presented them self if i had gone. Buuuuuut, no. a Stroll around the house was enough, plus a shot of my new ski boots and of the CV Nokton 42.5 f0.95 with the hood. Witch i dont use so i havent really remembered to take a photo of it. But here it is. Looks better without i think. All but the one containing the 42.5mm is shot with the 42.5mm. the other one with 17.5mm all shot @0.95.
Vi ses.
Häj häj häj.

Do you know what kind of brand the man has on his glasses. I had no idea befor i zoomed in as i was sharpening the picture in Lightroom (Ray-Ban right? 🙂 ). Pretty awesome how much detail the em-5 packs in to these 16mpix shots from the Voigtländer 42.5! Pretty desecent level of detail and sharpnes in the dog crop aswell.
It really makes the subjekts popp in the pictures, thats really the biggest benefit of FF (In my opinion) Sure u got higher light seneitivity,iso performance and all that. But what makes alot of the pictures beautiful is, the magic of “popp”. And the Noktons got “popp” (!)
Pretty good shooting situations in all these shots so no really much to complain about in these pics. I think the level of detail/sharpness is the subjekt for this post!
Well, laters!

Visited the abandoned mental asylum in Säter a couple of days ago. “Säters fasta paviliong”. (more shots below) It has been closed for a few years now and is slowly withering away with some help from vandalism.
This shot i composed out of 10? shots, all taken with em-5 + Notkon 17.5 @0.95 on a tripod with a cable trigger set at 2sec intervalls. Put together in Photoshop with layers and layer masks.
“The mentaly insane need their Coffee!” was my original thought behind this shot.
Kind of creepy going in to that tub knowing that poeple have been tortured in it over the years. Well, not tourtured, rehabilitated.
Just figured out how to enable comments (i think). So if you feel the urge, dont hesitate to leave something in the box. Im not afraid of critiques, if you feel you want to ponit something out that you think i do wrong. please let me know. Or what ever you want to say about my blog or its entries. (Please) Do it! 🙂
Well now i need my coffee to.
Please come again.
Bye.
Laters.

My computer have been packed with crap so i havent been able to load my photos to it, bought myself an external harddrive today. Got some shit out of the way!
So here is what managed to select out of the bunch. Its a little bit of both the 17.5mm and 42.5mm. Took these over the last couple of days, on my way to work, in a closed down and abandoned mental asylumn and some random driving around with my car photos. If youre wondering about the text, i started to add some lame text to easier show wich lens i used. But it just looked stupid, so i stoped. So now it looks even more stupid when there is just a few with text. Well well. Pic 1,2,4,5,7 is shot with 17.5mm and thus pic 3,6,8 is shot with 42.5mm.
The foucs ring on my 42.5 is alot slower to move around when im foucsing, i guess thats because its brand new? Dont reallt remember if the 17.5 was any slower new compared to how it is now.
The 42.5 keep devlivering tack sharp images with lots of detail, nice colors,beautiful bokeh and not much to whine about. There isnt really much to say on the bad part, sure it could have a little less CA, but already it does not have much of it. It could be a little sharper. But then i guess your eyes would bleed due the knife sharp images. The Noktons sure could weigh less, but with the weight loss i am pretty sure things like softness,distortion and coma will come along. So i feel the weight is ok to.
It does make the MFT system a little less atractive, Em-5 + oly 45mm 1.8 is alot lighter and a few cm smaler. But it can not produce the same images. “The best camera is the one you bring with you” And i bring this combo alot more often then i did my Pana 14mm f2.5 (55g) and Oly 45mm f1.8 (116g). So for me the extra 700-900 grams? (not shure about the weight difference) that differs from my old kit to my Nokton kit is totally worth it. But i will say that the extra 700g does not go un noticed. If you’re thinking about buying this lens, you should have the weight in mind aswell.
So for me. This is the best camera! I totally love the 17.5& 42.5 combo. the characteristics of the two differs quite alot and they deliver awesome images.
Not shure what the exact f-stop is on pic 2 (pretty shure labled it wrong with the ugly text). but the rest is shot @f0.95 with:
Em-5
Nokton 17.5mm f0.95 or Nokton 42.5mm f0.95
B+W ND4 or B+W ND8
Hld6. Awesome grip! (the “first” part of it) the secound part is kind of awkward.
Arrividerci.

In this shot (i have pushed saturations quite a bit) you can see some pretty heavy CA. Purple CA along the right upper side of the tree and some red-ish towards the lower part.
In the upper left you can see some green CA.
But this is prettymuch a nightmare situation i think, as far as CA is concerned. It does not bother me much, its pretty easy to delete or minimize in post.
But if this is your typical shooting situation and you dont want CA. Perhaps the 42.5mm f0.95 is not for you.
This one is shot @0.95 and pretty close. So its got that crappy milky feel to it. It was even worse befor i rezised it for the blog. DOF is pretty much zero.
Here is another shot from the other day. Shot wideopen in some crappy garage. Avalible window light. Still sharp as blade! Awesome bokeh! When you get shots like these (“bokehlicious” shots like these) i dont regret switching from FF to MFT at all 🙂
