I understand, that German is a difficult language for English speakers, but on a history video on Voigtländer I would expect that the name is pronounced correctly: The "i" in Voigtländer is not spoken, it's a silent vocal. So just ignore it and pronounce Voigtländer as if there wouldn't be an "i" in it, with an "o" like in "door" or "go". The same by the way is true for "Lanthar", where the "h" is a silent consonant and not spoken. The "nth" in Lanthar is pronounced like the "nt" in lantern. No go and impress your peers with your German pronunciation skills! 😉
Thanks for the comment, I just figured English way of saying things will be more appropriate in an English video. But I'm no German speaker anyway, so for those who are interested there is an excellent video from @AnalogInsights about the right pronunciations of all the German camera things ua-cam.com/video/iW_iBmUC_Xc/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AnalogInsights 👌
The thing I find most interesting about Voightlander, the oldest name in photography, is that it actually predates the invention of photography by 70 years.
@@SergioMusel I adapt Canon FD lenses for my lens catalogue, so with the speedbooster, it really has more of a medium-format rangefinder aesthetic. Cool thing is, the Canon FD 35mm f/2.0 becomes a 36.75.mm f/1.0 with the speedbooster.
Voigtlander is one of the oldest names in photography, however, my dad had a Voigtlander Vito CLR back in the 1960’s, it ended up dying, I have purchased several of these old Voigtlander 35mm cameras and most of them have some some issue with either the shutter or mechanics. I had the Bessa R film camera manufactured by Cosina branded as Voigtlander, which actually was a great camera.
I just wanted for people to see how much actually Voigtlander innovate in photography, most don't even have a clue... Just like with Pentax, it's also overseen, but they've made so many contributions
@@gigamoment I purchased the 23mm nokton and it has it’s issues. Shooting below F2.8 at subjects greater than 3m away is difficult to focus because of an extremely small focus throw. Field curvature is an issue for landscapes. Not really an issue for me since I mostly shoot people. Also heavy vignetting. I reluctantly returned it. Hoping for a mk ii one day.
One could say, that today Voigtländer is just a brand, not a company anymore. But that is not entirely true, since there is company Voigtländer GmbH (same as Ltd.) in Germany, which acts in a sales promotion function for Voigtländer branded products. Voigtländer GmbH is a 100% daughter of Ringfoto. Ringfoto is a company owned by German United Imaging Group (which was named Ringfoto until 2019), which also owns the brand Voigtländer. Ringfoto is now a daughter company and brand of UIG, which forms Europe's largest group of approx 1,500 photographic equipment dealers under the brands of Ringfoto and Photo Porst plus free dealers who joined the pool to use it as their marketing and procurement service provider and economical advisor. In most of Europe, Voigtländer products are exclusively sold by camera dealers who are member of the Ringfoto group. As the owner of the Voigtländer brand, UIG collaborated with Cosina to produce cameras and lenses under the Voigtländer brand. This agreement seem to allow Cosina to sell technology developed and produced for Voigtländer also to other companies (the Bessa III for instance was also sold by Fujifilm under their own name) for sale in regions outside of Europe. Besides UIG Cosina has many other clients in the World's camera industry and designs and produces cameras or lenses for them, among them Carl Zeiss or Fuji.
Love to see it, thanks for the history. Although, I would definitely not say Leica lenses suck on digital - my Summicrons look amazing on both my M240 and Xpro2. Some CV lenses are as expensive or more than Leica these days (APO 50mm). And hey, don't forget about modern M Mount Zeiss glass either! Also made by Cosina in the same factory as Voigtlander. Love the videos mate, keep it up
Thanks!👏 As for the lenses, I meant they suck on anything other than native M bodies, since, as far as I know, Leica modifies its sensors to work best with the M glass.🤓 I guess it's more forgiving on APS-C cams (due to crop), but most full-frame bodies will have issues in the corners with Leica lenses, sometimes quite complex to correct.😢
I thought it sounded good. Why are people nitpicking like they are dining in a fine restaurant? There is no hair in your soup - someone made a youtube video for you that you can watch free of charge.

It's always nice to get educated on photographic gear history!
Thanks for checking it out👍
Thanks for the history and background! great job!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
Awesome video for this, thanks man!

That Xpro just can't help but look sexy and sophisticated at all times.
If you keep classy small lenses on it😉

@@firstnamelastname9955 I find vintage lenses to be too bulky to adapt to Fuji, I was adapting before though

I love my 23mm F1.2 for Fuji - on my Xpro3. Great video - you put in a huge amount of work!
Thanks, it was a lot of work indeed!
Is it good for landscapes (F4+)? I heard many people mention about serious field curvature issues

@@SergioMusel Ah! I see now, that checks out.
Great video man!
Can I please ask you what gear did you use to record this video?
Thanks🙏🏼Asking for something specifically?😁
@@SergioMusel just out of curiosity, the shot looked great and I wanted to ask you what camera, lens and lights did you use please :)
@@UnraisedMage31 I use X-E4 with 35mm f2 lens, a $30 LED light and a $20 usb mic 😅 Rest is magic✌️
😍😍😍😍😍
Great video keep doing
Thanks!✌🏼
Great video
I appreciate it🙏
dude you need to adjust the EQ of your voice
What exactly?
@@SergioMusel the voice is too sharp ,too much treble not enough bass
@@amd64x OK thanks, I'll tell my sound guy!😉
Yeah, I would second that.

Sony Xperia 1 Mark || is the winner of the camera business because he uses the best Zeiss lenses at the moment
