Double Negative Posted December 8, 2011 Share #21 Posted December 8, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use the 1,2/35 with the M8 and M9 quite a bit; it's a fantastic lens. It has a certain mojo about it wide open while still being rather sharp. On the M8 in particular, it makes a nice, fast "50mm" lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Hi Double Negative, Take a look here Voigtlander 35mm Nokton 1.2 on Leica M8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
caparobertsan Posted December 8, 2011 Share #22 Posted December 8, 2011 Greetings, It is a great lens - especially wide-open. A poor man's Nocti on the M8. Make sure you get the newly modified for the M8 version. The previous version will not focus at infinity. I am always amazed at how good this lens is. Image 3 - is 2500 ISO at F1.2 Image 1 and 2 are both wide open @ 640. Image 2 was shot to demo bokeh and I will let you decide if you like it or not - some think it is a bit harsh - I like it. I have a set on flickr.... Nokton 35mm F1.2 VC - a photoset on Flickr Cheers. Terry. Bokeh is too perfect tipical Japanese lens. I have this lens too but I still want inferior designed Leica Noct 50/1.0. 50/0.95 is way too perfect for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfx Posted December 30, 2011 Share #23 Posted December 30, 2011 This is one of the lenses that is part of my 35mm lenses review but I'm between examples at the moment, having sent an "old version" back to CameraQuest and waiting for a "new version" with the revised shroud. On the R-D1, I preferred the Leica 35/1.4 Asph to the 35 Nokton but, of course, the cost difference is significant. This may be of interest:Luminous landscape Its convenient that the 35 and 50 Noktons can both use the same 52 mm 486 filter. Cheers, Sean Hi Sean. The 50mm Nokton 1.1 uses a 58mm filter and the 35mm Nokton 1.2 uses a 52mm filter. I have both and they are new (within the last year) copies. Were their barrel dimensions or filters different in 2007? Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisPT Posted January 30, 2012 Share #24 Posted January 30, 2012 Just a quick "test shot" when I was buying the M8.2, using the Nokton 35/1.2 v1. Thanks for reminding about the rear shroud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Negative Posted January 30, 2012 Share #25 Posted January 30, 2012 FWIW, I did a review of the Voigtländer 35mm f/1.2 Nokton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
