haikos Posted August 19, 2023 Share #142 Posted August 19, 2023 I think it's an underrated lens because it is (relatively) inexpensive and always in the shadow of the revered pre-asph lux. IMO, all it needs to be perfect is a focus tab having the same dimensions/geometry as the lux or cron; Its prongs are too short/groove too shallow. Image quality leaves nothing to be desired when you understand what you are buying. Welcome, dear visitor!

I just have to get used to those pre-ASPH Summilux style aperture ring wings. Looks great on the M. 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! This is NOT NEW TOY SYNDROME. Basically for now I’ve decided to stop wanting a 35 Summicron. This lens does it all. It has so many looks. And once you go past f4 it has all the resolution you’d want. I didn’t do much except exposure changes. The cat was f1.4 to see what I would get. So this is the SC, and converting into B&W needs nothing. I just flipped the Black & White switch and adjusted a bit of the brightness. and that’s done for me. It’s so small and light like a 35 Summicron v4. The perfect daily 35. I’m glad I bought this first and not an older Leica at 4x the price. Haoge has a lens hood that is basically identical to the Voigtlander one, but at a fraction of the cost. Really nice spring bayonet attachment - just like the Voigltander version. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a great lens and very affordable compared to the Leica offerings. I have the MC version, and if this was the only lens I could ever use, I would be more than OK with that. -Thomas Edited August 20, 2023 by trisberg fix quote 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like using hoods. Maybe I’ll put mine in the bag but I’ll never use it. Better leave it in the box so it doesn’t scratch. Including the Nokton 35 1.4 II? Strange. In the US the lens hood is sold separately. Some CV lenses in the US are sold w the lens hood included - CV 40 2.8 Heliar, Heliar Classic 50 1.5, the new 28 2.8. But many are not. eg Nokton 50 1.5 II, 50 1.2, 50 Apo, 35 Apo etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the box for the hood behind the Nokton box. They automatically just give it to you. I didn’t ask for it. 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! I’m aware that in the US they don’t and I’ve always wondered why because when I go to the dealer here their lenses always come with the hoods. I always end up just putting the hood boxes away and never use them. Because in the US that’s $160 usd in the pocket of the dealer for those two hoods. About sixty for the LH-6 for the 35 Nokton and a hundred for the LH-12 for the Ultron. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted August 21, 2023 Share #149 Posted August 21, 2023 I prefer not being forced to buy any hood if i don't like it. Won't happen in Europe fortunately but the CV and ZM hoods are sturdy and efficient generally so i'm used to order one when i purchase a Zeiss or Voigtländer lens personally. YMMV.

Voigtländer seem to be bundling hoods and two caps with those recent lenses which do not utilise the Zeiss bayonet. Leica is little better : with M lenses you cannot unbundle the cost of the included leather lens case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Leica is little better"? Not really when you consider the cheap drawstring pouch Leica bundles with the recent Summilux 35 1.4 Classic.............Horrible, only good to keep what loose change you have left after buying the lens.

May i ask which lenses you're referring to? Just curious as my CV 21/3.5, 28/2, 35/1.4 SC V2, 50/1.5 SC v2 and 90/2.8 have all that bayonet and a separate hood.

Huss Posted August 21, 2023 Share #154 Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Bigger racket is the same Voigtlander lens hoods are more expensive if they have the Zeiss label on them! Still made by Voigtlander. The lenses where the lens hoods are interchangeable - eg 50 Planar - I bought the CV versions. That was before Haoge came on the scene.

hansvons Posted August 25, 2023 Share #160 Posted August 25, 2023 8 hours ago, comptroller said: Ken Rockwell said this Nokton is “a loser”, so maybe I’m wrong. No, you’re right. First, his test ist from 2011. So, his copy is a V1. Second, Ken Rockwell’s opinions must be taken with a shaker of salt. To understand his thinking it makes sense to look at his pictures. Third, he refers to landscape photography. And here he’s somewhat right. I shoot landscapes and cityscapes from time to time and print them. The Summicron ASPH is a much better performer in this regard, but this is to be expected. The Nokton is a great reportage lens, it is marvellous at environmental portraits, anything moody like fashion. And it's foremost a film lens. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
