Guest borge Posted June 21, 2013 Share #3 Posted June 21, 2013 The CV 50mm lens's out-of-focus area (bokeh) is very busy on this comparison. The smoothnes of the Summilux's bokeh looks a whole lot better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightwrangler Posted June 21, 2013 Share #4 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Me thinks the difference in bokeh has more to do with a different background light situation and slightly different angle then with the lenses. All in all: Very impressive new CV lens. Although I can still see purple fringing on the top of the helmet in the CV crop, it seems the new CV 50 has less fringing then the old model? Can you verify that, Mike? Thanks anyway for the comparison. Mike Edited June 21, 2013 by Royal_Corona 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urmelchen Posted June 21, 2013 Share #5 Posted June 21, 2013 Could it be the C/V is very slightly defocused? My copy is tak sharp wide open. Would be nice to see more comparison pictures 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted June 21, 2013 Share #6 Posted June 21, 2013 The CV is focussed a little forward of the Summilux. You can see it on the painted thread of the body of the figure. Also the nose is a little sharper on the CV shot compared to the Summilux. These are impressive though thanks so much for posting them. Some prefer the more traditional rendering bokeh of the CV. That Summilux looks incredible for it's definition and correction. In this case, personally I would go for the Summilux, though, I just 'd at the price of the CV. Amazing results for the price. I don't suppose you happened to shoot some samples stopped down did you? I would be very interested to see it if you did. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted June 21, 2013 Share #7 Posted June 21, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Would the term "less harsh" be fair of the Summilux photos? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightwrangler Posted June 22, 2013 Share #9 Posted June 22, 2013 Thanks. Picture 1 & 2 show the CV's PF wide open is better controlled in the new version of the lens, but it's still not entirely gone, as it is in the Summilux. But I guess something has to justify the different price tag Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted June 22, 2013 Share #10 Posted June 22, 2013 Thanks for this. May I ask if you applied any coding to either of the CV lenses? gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henning Posted June 23, 2013 Share #11 Posted June 23, 2013 According to Mr. Kobayashi the optical units of version 1 and version 2 are identical. Henning Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightwrangler Posted June 23, 2013 Share #15 Posted June 23, 2013 Ok, I take back my comment on better controlled PF in the new version. It's the same crap. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Lord Posted June 23, 2013 Share #16 Posted June 23, 2013 The Lux has more detail and better, more vibrant colour rendition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike The new version has new coatings, I believe. Same optics but still going to be a bit different. Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade Posted June 24, 2013 Share #18 Posted June 24, 2013 The CV really looks promising. Sure it has it flaws but for like 1/3 or 1/4 of the price? Thats a great performer to me! However....... Cosmetically, I dont like the design.. Looks very complicated.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted June 24, 2013 Share #19 Posted June 24, 2013 The CV is a solid performer. Especially so given the price. Just goes to show how good that Summilux is though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
