@Dennis  What about a 50/1.2 Nokton.  It’s voigtlanders latest gen of lenses (update of the CV50/1.5), which many photographers enjoy.  If you like sharpness it’s there stopped down to f2, and if you like a little bit of glow it has it wide open at f1.2.  I think it’s the same price as the 50/2 Zeiss and less than the 50/2.4 Leica.  

HI NRK, thank you for the tip.

 

But at this moment of my life, I decided already for the Summicron V. It will be my daily lens, with an amazing overall and superb performance 🙂 , no excuses. But The Nokton 1.2, is a great option is you want to play wider open. I guess step by step, I'll upadte and add lenses for that specific effect and needs. So, in the future who knows, I will probably get another 50mm or a 75mm with s super bokeh. 

But the Summicron, has to my "base" for the 50mm, you know what I mean?

For serious 50mm work, Summi V4

For walking around all day I want a small lens. Elmar-M 50 2.8 collapsible or Summi-C 40 2.0 depending on location.  Both small, easy to travel with & focus to .7M

Has anyone noticed that he bought the Summicron V already? Great choice and should last for a long time in the arsenal! 👍🏻

It seems he already bought it but in regards to small lens I’d agree Elmar 50 f2.8 is a great option. Also, probably one of the most interesting small lens is the (Sonnar formula) Rollei 40mm f2.8

I didn't know about these lens until now. Interesting, for be super small and light.

Count on it. If it is as it seems to be, I'm the happiest guy

Dennis btw the Elmar & Rollei I'd go with the Rollei, being a Sonnar it has beautiful bokeh, and it's pretty much the size of the summicron 35mm bokeh king, but much better built (and also with much better bokeh). I unfortunately sold this lens & regret it..one of the best non leica lens

It's absolutely an amazing lens. FFordes were great.

I'll share some images in the future.

 

Have a great Sunday,
