The Zf’s New Best Friend? Voigtlander 50mm f/1.2 II + Techart AF Review

I’ve been putting the new Voigtlander 50mm f/1.2 Nokton II through its paces on the Nikon Zf, and the results have genuinely surprised me. If you’re like me and demand clinical sharpness but love the soul of manual glass, this setup paired with the Techart autofocus adapter might be the "cheat code" you're looking for.

I’ve posted a full gallery of shots ranging from f/1.2 to f/2, including some side by side thoughts on how this stacks up against the legendary APO Lanthar. Even at f/1.4, the contrast on this lens is biting.

Check out the full technical breakdown and sample gallery here:
