Advertisement Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Hi Shepherdphotographer, Take a look here Advice requested: used Leica lens, 28mm or 35mm, for portraits set in low ambient light and very soft blur for Leica SL (TYP 601). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

I just took a snapshot in my front yard, to illustrate what f/1.2 gets you on a 35mm: Welcome, dear visitor!

From your helping I could consider Voigtlander Nokton 35/1.2, or continue with my Nikon 35/1.4 AI...... Until this moment..... unless there's something you dont like about the Nikon, why not just keep using it if you really want something that looks like the Summilux-R 35/1.4 for portrait work, can you post some images/links of the specific look/colour/rendering you like and it might help trigger some a additional thought from the LUF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever Summilux, it isn't a coincidence...... i see, misunderstanding on my part, so you're looking a lens that renders like the current/recent M mount 28mm and 35mm lux (rather than the R mount 35mm). im sure others here on LUF will have more specific suggestions, but for portrait work, any fast modern ASPH lens will prob give you a very similar type of look Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdmesa Posted April 22, 2023 Share #33 Â Posted April 22, 2023 12 hours ago, Shepherdphotographer said: ...I'm looking for the Leica yield... But you said you can't/don't want to afford that, right? Save up for the current 28 or 35 Lux if you want that look. How can you have a Leica brand alternative to something for which there is no alternative? Nothing renders exactly like these two lenses. That said, in my option the CV 35 1.2 III surpasses the look of the Leica 35 Lux. And you can always shoot it at f/1.4 if you want more structured bokeh like the Leica 35 Lux has.

M&S Materiale Fotografico is a nice little shop and the owners are very knowledgeable. I got some really good deals from them when I was living in Rome. They have all Voigtlander 35mm in stock: https://www.msmaterialefotografico.it/product-category/voigtlandervm/ I see they are moving to a new location, I would recommend to give them a call and arrange a viewing and try for yourself the following 3 lenses to see which one you like the most: 35mm f1.2 v3 --> the one we've been recommending for portraits 35mm f1.4 v2 --> draws like a pre-asph Lux, has glow at 1.4, comes in single or multi coating version 35mm f1.5 v2 --> more similar to the modern Lux Asph 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plastics used are high-grade and in some cases superior to metal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
