Summicron collapsible 50mm f2 or Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f1.5 LTM ?

The Elmar is also a great idea, I hadn't considered it. Plus it's collapsible thus replicating the advantage of my original summicron. I like though the possibility of going down to 1.5 especially because I am using it on a film camera, thus most of the time I need the aperture edge in tricky lighting situations.

As for the CV 50mm review, it sounds like it refers to the newest edition, which is a remake of the first, I am looking at (actually got one at this point) the 1999 LTM edition, which is far cheaper than the new one (and supposedly performs equally or even better).

 

Cheers!

Hello!

In the end I got myself a voigtlander 50mm f1.5 LTM and I am really pleased with the results. This is the first roll I've done (with a simple Fuji Superia 200), scanned with Epson 370, for those interested:

Now I have a velvia 50 in the works, which was shot both with the collapsible Summicron and with the new Voigtlander, I am curious to see the difference, and will post back!

 

Cheers.
