Which Voigtländer lens for street/documentary on the Z mount?
Looking for a second lens for street/documentary on Z mount. Narrowed it to three Voigtländers and would love input from anyone who's shot them.
The candidates
- Voigtländer 40mm f2 Septon
- Voigtländer 40mm f1.2 Nokton
- Voigtländer 35mm 1.4 Nokton Classic
How I shoot
- Street/documentary
- Mostly f/5.6-f/8, so max aperture isn't a priority.
- Camera: Nikon ZF
- Comfortable with manual focus / zone focusing
What matters most
- Size and weight
- Great image quality, but I'm not after clinical sharpness
- Rendering preference: clean / a bit of character
- Build quality and overall shooting experience
What I already have
- Nikkor Z 40mmf2, which I'm keeping. I want something that has better image & build quality. The goal is to add something with a more substantial build and a different shooting/rendering experience.
All thoughts/opinions/sample photos are welcome. Thanks!
