Voigtländer 23 mm F1.2 Nokton X-Mount - Manual Mode

In this video I talk about learning how to slow down and use manual focus with the Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f1.2 lens. This fully manual lens has the connectors on it to give the camera EXIF data about each image taken which can help you learn what it is you're doing with manual focus. Coupled with the Fujifilm X-Pro3, this lens makes the act of photography even more enjoyable because I am learning how to hone my craft.

If you're just starting out and need a little guidance and inspiration, this might be the video you're looking for. But hopefully there's some parts in here that will resonate with seasoned photographers who have already discovered the joys of manual focus mode.
