Voigtländer Nokton 55mm f1.2 review

A lens, first launched in 2023, with loads of vintage character (build and images). I've just posted a review of this Nikon F-mount lens on YouTube if you're interested:

The lens was very kindly lent to me by Thomas.

In the video, I also compare the lens's performance with:

- Tomioka Auto Revuenon 55mm f1.2
- Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f1.2 (e-mount)
- Briefly with the early Nikon Nikkor 55mm f1.2 and f1.4.
