Who else would love to see a Voigtlander 28mm f1.4 Nokton?

I hate cyan or other artifacts, in trees, in pepples and the like. LOL. Like Vinncent showed off with a big laugh

I handed back a VC 75mm (sharp, yes, but with severe fringing) and a Zeiss 35mm 2.8 (less as I saw it but still) but the older ones I have (Biogon 28, Minolta 28, Orion 28)  do not exhibit such bad characteristics.

Yes, 28 @ F2, F1.4: nice, but the have to fit my style. And need to be smalish.

Replying to an old dead thread, sorry. 

Just my 2 cents: 
I would love a Nokton 28! If it were smaller than the Summilux...
Would love to pair it with an Elmarit, sometimes perfection, sometimes night-photography on film with a 1.4 or 1.5 ...

Please Voigtlander read this and make it so.

A CV 28 1.4 doesn't need to be smaller than the 28 Lux, it just needs to be smaller than the 28 Lux with its hood attached. All the long rectangular Leica hoods are ridiculous IMO.

It's not a 1.4, but it's close. 28mm Nokton.

Is this a new offering, or it's been out for a while ? 

The release is January 2024 in Japan.

Ohhhhh I am intrigued!

This is great news, a 250g 28mm f1.5 is exciting indeed. Design wise, why Voigtlander insist on have the chrome rim on most of their recent lenses is beyond me. At the very least, an option of a finishing ring would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting specs! I'm curious about the optical performance.

And the chrome ring would match well with a BP Leica. Unfortunately, the BP version of the 28/1.5 comes with a surcharge in terms of weight though.

People don’t like hoods anymore?

+1. The Skopar 90/2.8 apo does it already. Now Cosina knows well the Real Leica Man and his fascination for "steel rims" i guess 😄

The Zeiss type lens hood bayonet has been very successful for 70 or so years, whilst Leica produced a multitude of hood designs that don't work with filters or are prone to fall off....

At least with black Hasselblad lenses the bayonet ring was black, so yes Voigtlander could also do better.

I’m not the biggest fan on wide lenses as it eats into my view unnecessarily. Modern coatings tend to do well with flare and I use a simple uv filter to protect the front element.

The coma seems to be rather "special" (cf. https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1836747/1 , the small lights on the upper part of the photo with the reflections on the water).

Doesn’t seem to be any different than the 28mm Summilux
