... in which I take one of the few 40mm lenses available for the Nikon F mount and put it through its paces on the streets of Shanghai with roll of Kodak Pro Image 100. It's small, it's beautifully made and it's reputedly an optically fine lens for its tiny form factor. But it's not cheap.

Does this lens live up to the hype? Is it really the GOAT? Or is it just a horny bleating sheep of a lens, using its size and build quality to mask a mediocre performance, pulling the wool over all of our eyes?

Camera: Nikon FE
Lens: Voigtländer Ultron 40mm f/2 SL-II
Film: Kodak Pro Image 100
Location: Shanghai China
Dates: June 2024

Apologies for the music in the first half of the video. The original music owner removed the availability of their work for commercial purposes so I had to replace it with YouTube music.
