So now the million dollar question: does anyone have a nice SC vs MC side by side comparison?!! There are some examples of both SC and MC a bit down on this page, but no direct comparisons, except the first picture: https://www.voigtlaender.de/lenses/vm/35-mm-11-4-nokton-classic/?lang=en Edited August 27, 2021 by evikne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shape of the aperture ring tabs are the most obvious. Version 1 tabs look like the leica summilux tabs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcapphoto Posted September 1, 2021 Share #66 Posted September 1, 2021 I have the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.5 Aspherical II and just bought the 35mm version (this thread) from eBay. It's on its way. Cannot wait to try it out! Does anyone pair the 35mm/50mm Noktons together? How do you like them together? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted September 22, 2021 Share #67 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) 35 minutes ago, Al Brown said: Have been looking at this lens (the SC version) as one of the very smallest Leica M lens candidates in the focal length range between 28mm and 50mm, which is where I dwell the most. The other two candidates are the Voigtlander 40/1.4 and the Summicron 40/2. The latter is of course *the* smallest (just by half a centimeter) and lightest, but also the oldest. None of them is 6-bit coded. All are priced more or less similarly, give or take, the 'cron of course used. Did anyone perhaps by any chance compare the 35/1.4 II to summicron 40/2? I love my Rokkor 40:2 for CLE as I'm sure you know is identical to the cron however with different (later) coatings. It's a gem. Not sure if you've considered it in the mix but it is outstanding IMO and cheap . There's generally no contest between it and my 35:2 v4 which was 5x the price. I'm not a huge fan of not having exact framelines, however Edited September 22, 2021 by grahamc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 22, 2021 Share #68 Posted September 22, 2021 8 minutes ago, Al Brown said: The Rokkor is, apart from the mentioned coating and the "normal" filter thread of 40.5 indeed quite identical to the summicron 40. The price difference here in Europe is of so little consequence as to warrant little or no attention - I would choose the summicron instead. But my strongest contender atm for price/performance combo is the 35/1.4 II SC. Rokkor v1 for CL is somewhat a clone to the Summicron but Rokkor v2 for CLE came more or less ten years later. Not to say that it is basically different but it has a bit less flare than the 'Cron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not good at comparing different focal lengths sorry. In a nutshell i would say that differences are not obvious at f/2.8 and on. At f/2 the Nokton 35/1.4 "SC" v2 is sharper at edges and corners. Its main interest is glow i.e. halos around highlights at f/1.4 if you like that. None of those lenses is flare free anyway. The Rokkor 40/2 v2 has a bit less flare but not by much and they are all beaten flare wise by lenses like CV 35/2 or ZM 35/2.8, let alone more expensive Leica lenses that are not superior to the laters necessarily. By superior i mean having less flare but some photogs like that. Edited September 22, 2021 by lct 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertospa Posted November 15, 2021 Share #70 Posted November 15, 2021 I take up this topic again because I am evaluating the purchase of the Nokton 35 1.4 II. My only doubt is that it provides a blur without depth, subject seems "stuck" to the blurry background. Although I have seen some beautiful images taken with this lens in this forum, I would like to see more if any of you can post them. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on the cron feels very natural; the one on the nokton quite fiddly imo. The optics are nice though. I also notice the nokton produces bigger bokeh balls in the background. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junix Posted November 22, 2021 Share #79 Posted November 22, 2021 While searching for a good copy of a Summilux pre-apsh.. the Nokton SC got my attention, new with warranty at a fraction of the price. I plan to use it mostly with my M-A with Tri-X and T-Max film. I currently have an FLE (great lens, but a bit on the bigger side..) and a Summicron V4 (amazing tiny lens for film photography, but I sometimes miss one additional stop that the FLE gives me..). Anybody with both lenses (Summilux pre-asph and Nokton SC (or MC..)) can chime in with a quick comparison? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junix Posted November 22, 2021 Share #80 Posted November 22, 2021 Thank you very much @Steven, well I suppose I’ll get a Nokton and play with it until I find a good Summilux. But from what you wrote I can easily see there is space for both in my life.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
