lct Posted January 12, 2023 Share #123 Posted January 12, 2023 Amazing compactness of the CV 50/1.5 v2. It is even shorter than the Summicron 50/2 v4, let alone v5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCPix Posted January 17, 2023 Share #130 Posted January 17, 2023 MC version, deliberately provoking the circular flare. This only happens wide open, even a tiny bit of stopping down eliminates this.

Nice, the bokeh looks like it to was carved out with a rounded gouge chisel 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee S Posted January 19, 2023 Share #132 Posted January 19, 2023 On 11/8/2022 at 11:35 PM, Fred Miranda said: 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? Hello @Fred Mirandajust checked back on this thread. This was taken with the 35/1.4 II Multi Coated Version. The photo in question was heavily cropped from 24MP to 6MP so might exaggerate the glow also perhaps I missed focus slightly? Let me know your thoughts, if it’s still bad considering the cropping I might have a Friday afternoon copy! By my standards the Nokton can be decently sharp in the centre at f1.4, the corners are a mush always and the extreme corners never get sharp even above f8. On a side note, really enjoy your site and reviews and it’s helped me buy 4 Voigtlander lenses so far so thank for all your efforts! Have you ever tried the 35mm F2.8 C-Biogon, which I would be interested to see your thoughts if you ever have chance to test it. I’d say it’s only bettered by the 35mm Leica / Voigtlander APO lenses at equivalent aperture’s of F2.8 and F5.6. A great landscape and general purpose lens that doesn’t get much love.

Lee Hi Lee, Thanks for the info. Yes, cropping the image would make the 'glow' more apparent and that's why it stood out for me. I always see a subtle glow from the CV 35/1.4 II but it's way more controlled than what I get from Leica 35/1.4 pre-asph. Contrast is also higher for the Voigtlander but the new 35/1.4 Lux Steel Rim comes close. For some shooters, the Voigtlander version may be more usable wide open while for those who prefer more glow, the Leica may be a better choice. After trying many copies of both lenses, I agree that the Voigtlander 35/1.4 II corners don't look that great until f/8 but really need f/11 to be optimal. That's where the Leica does better being already optimal at f/5.6 across the field. I have tried the 35/2.8 Biogon before but don't quite remember its performance details, except that it was sharp and contrasty where it matters even wide open. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBC Posted March 16, 2023 Share #134 Posted March 16, 2023 Just got this lens, still have to test it properly (over the weekend). It complements my Q2 quite well, I think anything in particular I should be aware of? vignetting/ color fringe / ... ? Welcome, dear visitor!

Steven Posted April 28, 2023 Share #137 Posted April 28, 2023 Dear Friends, Do any of you know if I could transplant the glass of a V2 into the body of a V1? I have a limited edition V1 that I like, but prefer the rendering of the V2. Does the new optic formula allow for such a surgery, or dimensions are different ? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the answer, but I also prefer the body of the v1. I still use the v1 on film, and v2 on digital. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks That sounds like an interesting job. I don't see why not but it would need a little closer inspection. Essentially the optical block can be removed quite easily and presumably interchanged between V1 and V2, however, the aperture ring would need to be swapped out which is part of the optical assembly. This isn't difficult but since V1 and V2 have different aperture rings I would hope the space for the two are the same. Then of course shimming between the two lenses would likely need adjusting. Perhaps pop @yukosteel a message? Edited April 28, 2023 by hmzimelka Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
