Everything! People, groups, scenics, big landscapes, street, objets d'art, architecture.
Thank you Philip! I will bring it with me to Oregon this month to try it out.

Can anyone recommend a short metal hood for the Voigtlander Nokton 28mm f/1.5 for Sony? My intended use is to put a CPL filter on the lens, then screw the metal hood on the filter, so I can just rotate the hood to achieve the desire polarizing effect instead of rotating the filter itself, not easier. That's how I use the hood for my CV 35 f1.2.
TIA!
Hey Douglas, it's hard to find a good one suitable for that lens. You can try CameraQuest but last I checked the OEM lens hood for the Sony E Voigtlander 28mm f/1.5 Nokton was on backorder for a few more months and it's sort of expensive at $109. I did find this one that works pretty well https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK1JGHNM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
It's a great lens and I really like mine. 28mm is a nice focal length and pairs well with other primes like 50mm and 40mm. The dual nature of it is nice too - dreamy at wider apertures and tack sharp stopped down. I hope you get some nice images and looking forward to see what you capture with it!
Thank you very much for the info Scott! Just curious, you are not using your OEM hood? The lens I bought didn't come with one so I need to find a replacement. There is no way I would pay $100 for the EOM hood, it's extortion, IMO. When I bought my Sony 600 F4 GM I put the Sony hood away as soon as I opened the box. Sony charges $1000 for the hood.
I will definitely check out the one you recommended. I may buy one or two other types too to see how they work. They are so cheap anyway.
