Welcome to Rune Østigård's blog

I ended the last year selling a couple of lenses that unfortunately didn’t see as much daylight as they deserved, so what better way to start a new year with buying a new lens..! 😀

I already have a Leica 90mm Summicron in chrome, and I dearly love it, beautifully both in appearence, feeling and image-making, but it makes me nervous… it is easily spottet, catches unwanted attention… and… I really don’t want to loose it when I’m travelling…

So… I decided to purchase the King of Bokeh… my first none Leica lens in M-mount… the Voigtländer 75mm f/1.8 Heliar Classic…

1/3 of the price of a 90mm Summicron (none ASPH..!), and probably 1/20th of the price of a Leica 75mm Summilux…

Here are a few quick test and samples of the beautiful bokeh of this lens, it is already starting to become a favourite!
