I have no Idea how anybody would say this lens is huge. It`s a tiny lens, 43 mm long, thats less than most 50 mm 2.0 lens. I would like to know smaller f 1.2 lenses. In Europa the lens is available since November, 22. I just have tried the lens very nice. Lots of CA at 1.2 but at 1.7 is`t gone.

Hi Steve, you mean the 40 mm summicron? The summicron is smaller, has lower contrast wide open, the colours are more muted and wide open it is softer and lower in resolution. But of course it is a very nice compact lens and with f 5.6 the difference is probably not large. For black and white the lil summicron might even the better choice. I prefer the bokeh of the Voigtländer.

Apparently, stiil in stock at Stephen Gandy... by sure, it's a bit odd to keep both on regular pricelist... but CV has attitudes of its own... 

 

True, although Voigtlænder has kept the 35/1.2 Nokton Mk1 and Mk2 for sale alongside the 35/1.4 Nokton MC, 35/1.4 Nokton SC, and 40/1.4 Nokton for many years so it seems more likely that, if anything, they would drop the 40/1.4 Nokton because comparatively speaking it's quite an old lens now.

 

Pete.
