Nokton SC v1 has too much focus shift and flare for my tastes. Nokton SC v2 is much better from this viewpoint. At f/1.4 it shows some glow (halos around highlights) with less softness than the Summilux. It has also less flare generally so i use it like a modern Summilux so to speak. I use neither on film though. FWIW. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I read that Nokton V2 should behave a bit better in terms of focus shift. I just ordered one.. hopefully I will "get a good copy" although on film a certain amount of focus shift is acceptable. It will be my first Voigtlander, hopefully not the last.. as the Heliar Classic 50mm is also very tempting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junix Posted November 23, 2021 Share #83 Posted November 23, 2021 I'm only slightly over 1 year in the Leica world.. and this will be only my 3rd 35mm. Being a "35 guy" I think I will stop at around 5-6. Anyhow, reading the reviews, comments and photos I hope this lens will be exactly what I want for my B&W film photography.

jaeger Posted November 23, 2021 Share #84 Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) I'd love to see a head to head wide open image comparison between this lens (35/1.4ii) and the VM 35mm 1.2iii Where can I find it? Edited November 23, 2021 by jaeger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with believe. But with willingness to learn about both lenses. I know also because I have one of those lenses. So, it is easier for me.

That will do, I look at the overall feel but not tiny bokeh balls. However, I found a youtube that has VM 1.4ii vs VM 1.2ii vs summilux. Probably that's close enough, the VM 1.2iii fixed the focus shift and added minute improvements. 1 hour ago, Ko.Fe. said: Nothing to do with believe. But with willingness to learn about both lenses.

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Hi Lee, I have never seen so much glow from from 35/1.4 II Nokton SC images. Which version do you have and do you get this effect all the time?

Keith (M) Posted December 3, 2022 Share #98 Posted December 3, 2022 Very early on in this thread there was a link to tests carried out by blogger '47 Degrees' in which he commented (with examples) "Where the Classic character really rears its head is coma: I mean, look at that! That’s awful! No excuses here, I knew what I was buying but this is a drawback no matter where I come from." Scrolling through the rest of this lengthy I don't recall seeing any other comments about coma. My interest in this particular lens was triggered by wondering if it might be a reasonable substitute for the newly released Summilux V1 'steel rim', which availability-wise are something like hens teeth. Comments on the Nokton's coma, anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith (M) Posted January 10, 2023 Share #100 Posted January 10, 2023 My SC version arrived this morning - just what I need, lightweight and tiny too. A distinct bonus is that the Zeiss lens hood from my 35mm Biogon f2.8 fits the Nokton (and I have 43mm filters also). Quick test at f1.4 and MFD on my M11. Just need it to stop raining now!
