JayBird Posted April 1, 2022 Share #21 Posted April 1, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have to vote for the Voigtlander 35mm f1.4 MC Nokton. I have had mine for about 2 months now and have been very happy with it. The main difference between the single coat (SC) and multi coat (MC) is the amount of flare and degree of contrast Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main difference between the single coat (SC) and multi coat (MC) is the amount of flare and degree of contrast The CV 35/1.4 SC v2 flares much less than i expected. Both SC v1and Summilux pre-asph can hardly compete on this point. SC v2 is not a low contrast lens either. Main difference is glow (halos around highlights) and smoother bokeh to me but my experience with the MC v2 is very limited. Sample pics into the sun and with glow below. FWIW (CL, CV 35/1.4 SC v2, f/1.4). https://photos.smugmug.com/Diverse/n-QFBj4/Leica-digital-CL-Nokton-3514-v2-f14/i-5cpszKw/0/a2a4b4bb/X4/C1090554_si-X4.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Diverse/n-QFBj4/Leica-digital-CL-Nokton-3514-v2-f14/i-4rc2ZSZ/0/2cfe3be2/X4/C1090529_si-X4.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted April 1, 2022 Share #23 Posted April 1, 2022 I have the Sigma 30/1.4 which I use quite a lot. I also have the TTartisan 35/1.4 which is manual and surprisingly good at f4 to 8. It has nice rendering at f5.6 which is my go to setting. the Sigma is autofocus, larger but light and the TtArtisan is tiny but manual so it’s horses for courses. I prefer the autofocus.

leicavkk Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share #24 Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) So glad I got the CV 35 1.4 nokton v2. Beautiful rendering https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52007781932_17889ddb8b_k.jpg Edited April 17, 2022 by leicavkk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffreyg Posted April 17, 2022 Share #25 Posted April 17, 2022 Have the Summicron Asph, wasn’t quite pleased with it, unsure why. Tried CV Nokton 1.4, interesting lens. Seems sharp c. f5.6 and up. Fun but too soft wide open. Friend said “”try the Color Skopar”, and only had a short time, but it buries both other lenses. Did a comparison test, and surprisingly sharper across the field, and more pop, although subtle. It’s focus is a bit off, so it’s off to get shimmed, but it’s overall performance is better than the other two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
