Ecar Posted July 19, 2018 Share #41 Posted July 19, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ah, o.k., sorry for misunderstanding I wanted to say, that the new 1.2/50mm is a new, modern lens, while the 1.1/50 is a "classic" lens with a special look. So they will not be comparable, like the Nokton classic 1.4/40 and the new Nokton 1.2/40 too. No worries - understood. I'm a bit of a lens hoarder, so I'll probably get one of these 50/1.2 sooner or later anyway... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Hi Ecar, Take a look here New CV Nokton 50/1.2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Ecar Posted July 19, 2018 Share #42 Posted July 19, 2018 It's a typical procedure for Voigtlander, also with lenses for Sony FE system. Long wait... Correct. But when they hit the market they tend to be available rather easily - no waiting lists... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich Posted July 19, 2018 Share #43 Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Correct. But when they hit the market they tend to be available rather easily - no waiting lists... Hopefully! I'm definitely interested! Edited July 19, 2018 by mich Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel Posted July 20, 2018 Share #45 Posted July 20, 2018 While 40 is obviously not 50, it isn’t so significantly different as a 35. Wondering how it will differentiate itself from the existing 1,1/50. If you look at the relative sizes the 40mm is significantly lighter and smaller then the 35mm 1.2 and the up and coming 50mm 1.2. It’s obviously a “sweet” design spot given its tremendous performance. I agree that having a 35 and 40 feels duplicative. A 28mm paired with it makes more sense. On the other end a 90 feels good, but based on the fact that manh people have multiple lens of the same focal length I don’t think it’s beyond reason that many people will have every focal length possible in their M collection between 28 and 135 - which is quite common Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmars Posted September 17, 2018 Share #58 Posted September 17, 2018 There are some in Germany. Look here: https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/286731-vc-50-12/ They all seem very satisfied on their first look. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look here: https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/286731-vc-50-12/ They all seem very satisfied on their first look. Thanks for posting the link! That there seems to be no focus shift is definitely another pro. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
designdog Posted September 17, 2018 Share #60 Posted September 17, 2018 I got mine Friday. Was looking for a less expensive 50 (less than my Summilux) to travel along with the 28mm Elmarit. I might have wound up with a lens that is as good as my Summilux! Center is very, very sharp at 1.2 and bokeh balls, while slightly elongated, have no onion skin. Definitely a keeper! BTW, I did a preorder, so mine was only $895. Unfortunately I haven't been able to shoot much with the new lens, due to Florence. Here are some quick shots, all at 1.2 on the M10: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmiGWw2Q 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
