Very often I do receive questions like “What should I buy” or “is the camera/lens good enough for me” and so on. That’s why I had the idea to add a user review section on 43rumors. If you take a look at the camera database on top you see a new link “User rating: xxx of 10” (where xxx stays for the average user rating). If you click on it you can rate the product and add your personal review. This will help other 43rumors readers to know more about the camera/lens they want to buy. To be able to write reviews you MUST BE a 43rumors member. You can register here: http://www.43rumors.com/register/. If you have any problem while registering contact me at 43rumors@gmail.com. Feel free to add your links to flickr or personal website to show your best pictures. You can also respond to other user reviews.
The new user review feature is in beta stage! Feel free to add suggestions to improve it! Thanks!
P.S.: You know see a small scrolling graph at the bottom of the camera database. There is more and more Micro Four Thirds stuff coming and that should make it a little bit more easier to understand where you are while scrolling the database. You can also click on the single sections to jump from one site to another!

Maybe in the future a seperate legacy lens section can be added? I am sure quite a few people can give useful comment on their manual focus lenses used on m43!

Where’s that Nokton review of yours? I saw it on Facebook, but the link is dead.
you mean the Admin’s Noktor 0.95? i just read it here at the lens section.
Yes, Admin’s review of Noktor 0.95. I don’t see it, I’ve looked all over the website, but cannot find it. Google cannot find it as well.
When I go to http://www.43rumors.com/review/an-awesome-lens/ it says “page not found”. Same yesterday evening, from different ISP. Must be something for registered users only. Thanks anyway.

I own the Nokton since 1 month. It is a very welcome addition to the Micro Four Thirds system! Image quality is superb when stopped down a little bit but still good at f/0.95. Now I can take pictures in any light conditions without flash. Soemtimes I do miss the autofocus. it’s not always easy to focus the subject. Price is very good for what you get!
i forgot to mention: above was copied from the review page, comment by the Admin 🙂
I’ve found it. A little hard to find, maybe that feature could be a bit more prominent at the home page – “user reviews” or something.
Thanks
Will they ever make a Silver version of the voigt 0.95?
For me this is the perfect lens, I had it for 2 weeks for a , bad fully I sent it back last monday 🙁
Despite its weight -that is not too heavy- (heavier than fast C mount such as the Angenieux), it does not vignetting and it’s sharp, even if it’s less sharp than the 50mm 1.1.
I did several tests/movies with it, day and night tests, always opened @ 0.95 :
