Maybe a hint of swirly bokeh as well? This rendering is nicely imperfect in my opinion. Edited December 14, 2022 by eyeheartny 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aberrations go bananas on the latter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how is the rendering comparing to Cron 35, because the size is similar, price is lower and those extra stops to F1.5 are additional benefit for some rare low light situations that I may encounter.

Ba Erv Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share #167 Posted December 14, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I balked on buying this lens and I'm glad I did; that coma is ridiculous. I'll stick with my FLE even if it is heavier. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly understand, after seeing your images in posts #161 and #162. You have helped me to turn my attention further away from this particular VM lens. (Not that I have anything against Voigtlander/Zeiss Cosina lenses; some of them are quite wonderfully good.) This VM f/1.5 Nokton can certainly enable doing good work, but, it would have to compete with the Zeiss Distagon 1,4/35mm ZM, which I already have. It would be nice to have a noticeably smaller 35mm M-mount lens, for the times when compactness is desirable, but, I will keep looking at other options.

Al Brown Posted December 17, 2022 Share #169 Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Made a few more images before parting, to show the render. All wide open at f/1.5 on M10-R. Coded as summicron 35 ASPH. The outdoor image shows the field curvature very clearly. All in all a great little lens but just too plain (meaning lacking character) for me. That role is solely 35 ASPH cron's 😏. Got mine from the first batch at Mint & Rare in Vienna, they are Voigtlander official distributor new & used. Welcome, dear visitor!

That role is solely 35 ASPH cron's Considering price, size, weight, and IQ, is character so important? You can always add character with your style of shooting Like you, I own and use the 35 Cron Asph v1 and super love it. Do you think they share some similarities? Except, of course, aesthetics and build. I’m lucky to own (and use) a few 35’s (w/ different character ) and render, and I believe this new 35/1.5 wouldn’t fit in the family. I don’t buy just for GAS… Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t buy just for GAS… Cron 35 is somewhat different. I only see partial similarities. As I am not collecting and hoarding Leica lenses, the "one lens to rule them all" for each focal length I have is very important to me. Of course that is impossible with 35mm and 50mm, so much good stuff, but I really tend not to keep anything I do not fall in love with. What I am looking for in my "one to rule them all" 35mm lens: - Character wide open but not as much as pre-asph/steel rim - Lack of CA or minimal CA like on this 35mm/1.5 Voigt - f/1.4 - Close focus - Tiny As you see distortion is not too important, nor is the weight (tiny lenses can be heavy, just like my 35 brass cron ASPH). The closest contender to my ideal 35 lens at the moment it seems is the new 35 FLE II CF, but impossible to tell when the glitch in production (diaphragm blades falling apart, focus problems) will be fixed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! I was looking at this lens as an addition to my other 35mm lenses but now with reviews and examples rolling in I think I'll skip it or at least wait for more reviews. It looks like a solid lens but there are a few small things I don't like and they do add up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Thanks for showing the coma wide open. Did you perchance try the same shot at f2.0? The Nokton 35 f1.4 II has similar coma wide open, but is much reduced at f2.0 and hard to detect by 2.4. Of course my Summarit 35 2.5 is cleaner wide open, but I do like the rendering of these VC lenses in most dim light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not try stopped down, but I am 100% sure that the coma clears up substantially very quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one with the car (distortion example) is shot on f5.6 and the "tree" shot is f2.8, the other ones are on f1.5 (vignette example). They are all edited (colors) but not corrected (vignette / distortion) and shot on the Leica M10. And as mentioned before, the whole lens rendering / the files remind me a lot of my previously owned Distagon (high contrast, sharp, micro contrasts, vignette, colors). Welcome, dear visitor!

haikos Posted January 16, 2023 Share #179 Posted January 16, 2023 Earlier in the thread there were a few mentions of similarities to the Distagon and SummFLE but after seeing the photo in post #161 with all that coma/aberration, and others that show the slight softness at certain settings, I fail to see how this lens comes anywhere close to the Zeiss and Leica lens. Maybe just in the center? What do you all think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
