Yes. Beautiful setup. With Novoflex Adapter. Buzzy Bokeh at 1.4. Better to use at 2.0. If you like 60mm go for it.

Thanks, beautiful picture. The reason I asked specifically the 35 or 40 mm is that the are short (in length I mean) so that the T fits in my pocket; about the size of the 23mm. The manual focussing is no problem since the latest firmware updates (3x and 6x enlargement).

Got it an love it! I like the 60mm because it is long enough on the APS-C sensor to give really nice depth of field but wide enough for everyday use. Lexs is right the bokeh is bit nervous at 1.4 2.0 is the sweet spot. I also love the clarity and ease of focus. I can use it without the view finder in most cases.

Top! I am looking for the shortest length lens, a pancake is even shorter. The Voigtländer pancake is but F3.5 which is not good enough for me.

So I will go for the 40/1.4 unless someone has an argument that the 35/1.4 is to prefer.

Sure. Get a M mount front cap and you’re good to go

 

Thanks sometimes I grab the T with the 40 Nokton on it to shoot a pic of the baby doing some new thing and am just too close to get him in focus and then fill the frame - assuming this might help with that and also other subjects.  Will improve the flexibility of the lens too.
