Responding to the demands of cinematographers, this 58mm Black Glimmerglass Camera Filter from Tiffen features a grade 1/8 density and is designed to take the crisp edges off the images that modern lenses and digital cameras produce. The filter subtly softens the image and lowers detail resolution for those who want to simulate the look of film footage while shooting on digital gear. This black Glimmerglass model reduces contrast and overall sharpness and can smooth out unwanted blemishes, wrinkles, or other fine details in a subject's face while keeping the general image in focus. Manufactured using ColorCore technology, the filter is designed to be accurate in its effect and to produce consistent results.

Q: 1. I just bought this lens and I tried it with my D500 and D700 on aperture priority mode. I found out that it only works on full aperture of F1.4 otherwise the shutter will not release no matter what adjustments I do. Is this normal?? Whereas I tried my Micro-Nikkor 55mm F2.8, this one works with any aperture I set it on. Am I missing some adjustments?? I need some help and I appreciate it. thanks.

A: For these types of older lenses, you have to put the aperture on F/16 then control the aperture through the camera body.

Q: 2. Will it work on Nikon D850?

A: Yes Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II S Lens is compatible with the Nikon D850 DSLR camera. Remember that it's a manual focus lens. You will not be able to control the aperture via the camera.

Q: 3. I have the D800, I do a lot of video give me your thoughts?

A: The Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II S Lens would be a good lens choice for video usage on the Nikon D800 DSLR camera. The lens has smooth focus and has a built-in aperture ring. The aperture ring is not de-clicked, so it would be best to only use one aperture per shot, as adjusting the aperture may results in seeing the small steps in-between each aperture setting instead of a smooth transition. Otherwise, it would be a good standard prime focal length lens for your video recording needs.

Q: 4. Can this lens be used with a Fujifilm GFX 50s II camera. If so what adapter(s) will work + will the image cir. cover the sensor?

A: IT can fit when using this adapter: https://bhpho.to/2z25OV8. However, does to the larger sensor on the GFX, most lenses under 85mm will be vignetted. Therefore this 63mm Fuji lens would be a better option for the GFX: https://bhpho.to/3otThE1

Q: 5. Does Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II S Lens work with Nikon D5500's auto-exposure functions? I am guessing it won't autofocus but is it otherwise compatible?

A: You are correct, manual focus lenses like this will only prevent auto-focus and auto-aperture functions, but auto-exposure is handled by the camera and won't be prevented by the lens.

Q: 6. Does anyone else find the focusing ring a bit stiff? Mine runs smoothly, but not as smooth as my Nikkor AI-S lenses. I need to use two fingers and apply slight force to focus. I feel like it might be faulty.

A: The focusing ring would be stiff with the first few uses, but will loosen up over time.
