I get using something because it feels special - which is why I use film Ms instead of Bessas, ZM Ikons, Nikon RFs, Canon LTMs, all the Soviet RFs.  I had those, and none of them made me want to pick them up and use them the way an M camera does.

But with lenses? My CV lenses feel as special as in they are just as enjoyable to use as my Leica lenses or my LLL lenses.

In fact, I use my CV 35 1.4II more than my FLE or any of the other 35s I have because I love its size, feel, handling and output.  The fact that it is by far the cheapest 35 I have is, uh, making me question my purchasing decisions!

 Interestingly the least special feeling one is my ZM Distagon 35 1.4, because it just feels and is way too big for a 35 1.4 lens on an M body.

What you we see in people (especially those you don't know) is usually a reflection of ourselves. You really didn't digest that I blocked you on WhatsApp. Poor thing. 

Sorry mate, blocked you long time ago. So honestly don’t know or care what you do. 🥱🤫🤭

Meh.... I loved it, until I got a Summilux 35 pre asph. I still love it, but rarely use it now. It was a gateway drug. 

Reverse experience here :cool: As much as i like my Summilux v2 i use the Nokton 35/1.4 SC v2 more and more at the expense of the former. Now the Summilux remains difficult to beat when i need more glow and less distortion but while Grandpa Summilux keeps its charm, Sonny Boy Nokton is slowly but surely taking over.

At f 8.0. No lens correction. Barrel distortion at a 10m distance is minimal.

Where I think it can potentially really shine over the Summilux is on film, wide open. Sometimes, depending on lighting, the glow of the Summilux can be a bit too much for me. When the Summilux delivers, it can't be beat. But the Nokton wide open on film seems a bit more reliable to me with its increased sharpness.

Agreed.......I have the Nokton 35 1.4 SC and the Summilux 35 SR Re-issue, like them both for differing reasons and both are, as much as any piece of kit I have, keepers. The Nokton is my pick for B&W film, ( I also tend to prefer it's layout and physical handling over the Summilux )..........For the limited colour work I do the Summilux works nicely for my eye on my M10-D at f2.4 to f1.4 open, I don't like it as much on the M10-R......This perhaps underlines that the best digital sensor so far with a digital Leica M has been the M10 24mp series..........Well, for me anyway. The Summilux though is a couple of lenses in one, depending on the aperture used, and that has usefully steered me away from trying to find a Summicron 35 V2 that I can afford, so there is that too.

The Nokton on the M10R has beautiful colors. At least I think so. I took this one last weekend at a park. M10R at ISO1600

When I bought the M10R I also used to think there was a difference in colors between it and the M10P. But shot with the same lens (that I don’t have anymore) and edited the same from RAW, there was actually little difference if any between the files as far as the colors at least.

The more I shot the M10R the more I realized what I was seeing was the characteristics of the lenses I had were a lot more obvious on the M10R’s sensor. It really brought the lenses to life. 

I'm a bit confused, since you posted this exact same image in the Summicron V5 thread here...
