rwchisholm Posted October 14, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello! I am planning on purchasing a 35 mm lens for the M8... I want to purchase one of the Voigtlander 35's but am having trouble choosing between the Ultron and Nokton. The Nocton is appealing due to the speed, but the Ultron for size. Anyone tried both? Does the additional size of the Nokton impede use? Is it even noticeable? Thanks -rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What his article did say was that if he did not get a Leica lens, his next choice could very well be the CV 35mm f/1.7 Aspheric. That would be the one I would buy. I have the 35mm f/2.5 skopar and am happy with it. I have all CV glass. Welcome to the forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_reid Posted October 14, 2007 Share #3 Posted October 14, 2007 Hi Rob, There are good reasons to choose either. The 35 mm lens review (recently updated with a large OOF section) would be worth reading. If you don't mind the bulk and weight of the Nokton, that may be the way to go. But the Ultron, while its lower in contrast, is smaller, lighter and less expensive all while giving up only one stop to the Nokton. My favorite of the CV 35s is actually the 35/2.5 Skopar. If you decide on the Ultron, my silver version is for sale. I bought a black one when I learned that they were going out of production. Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie_O Posted October 14, 2007 Share #4 Posted October 14, 2007 I absolutely love my 35mm Ultron. It handles well, has goregous bokeh and, as Sean mentioned, draws in a pleasingly lower contrast, which is easily bumped up in Photoshop or iPhoto or C1, etc... A great gob of these photos were shot with my silver Ultron. Oh, and the silver looks gorgeous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
