JMPerona Posted October 27, 2024 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ive got the Leica M10 at least, not the next step is to get a voigtländer lens while Im saving money for a Summilux one. My question: Which one to get in the 35mm and 50mm range? Any other for similar ranges? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikie John Posted October 27, 2024 Share #4 Posted October 27, 2024 A personal favourite focal length for an all-round lens is 40mm. Voigtlander do several good 40s, and there is a newish thread about 40mm lenses in the M lenses section of the forum. There are no viewfinder framelines for 40mm, I think most 40mm lenses bring up the 50mm lines by default. But framing using M rangefinders is a bit of an arcane art anyway and it probably wouldn't take long to get used to using the 50mm frames to give a very good estimate of what the 40mm lens will give you.

PCPix Posted October 27, 2024 Share #5 Posted October 27, 2024 I have the 35 Colour Skopar - bought as I wanted a very small lens to go alongside my 35 Summilux FLE. Later I got the 35 Nokton MkII multicoated. I have to say, the Nokton is pretty much the one I use all the time now. It’s very small (like the original 35 Summilux), has a nice gentle glow (character!) at f/1.4 and sharpens up well at smaller apertures. It might be the one you’re looking for - definitely worth looking at? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as these 2 lenses are I can't justify a Summilux. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtoleica Posted October 27, 2024 Share #7 Posted October 27, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) After selling the Leica APO Summicron 50mm again as I couldn't justify its cost for the use I make of it, I bought a 50 APO Lanthar recently. I had been put off by reviews saying it's a 'big lens'. Well actually I find it perfect... lovely rendering, sharp and handles well. Highly recommended and must be the very best VFM in M lenses available. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted October 28, 2024 Share #8 Posted October 28, 2024 35mm f1.5 ii VM MC and 50mm f1.5 ii VM MC and you are done they are small, sharp, lovely rendering, built beautifully, what more is needed ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deejaybeephoto Posted October 28, 2024 Share #9 Posted October 28, 2024 35mm f2 Ultron. A steal for the money (although the lens hood costs extra) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpsawin Posted October 28, 2024 Share #11 Posted October 28, 2024 (edited) I like the 50/1 Nokton. There is a thread on this site under Lenses. It is a big, heavy lens and it delivers.

RexGig0 Posted October 29, 2024 Share #13 Posted October 29, 2024 (edited) Cosina makes a 50mm APO lens that truly rivals Leica’s APO Summicron-M 50mm ASPH, the Voigtlander APO Lanthar 50mm f/2 VM. Because I shoot so much in the harsh sunlight, in southern Texas, the APO Lanthar is, arguably better than its Leica APO rival, for my purposes. I will always favor the Summilux-M 50mm ASPH, but there are times I want to use a more-perfectly-corrected and more-flare-resistant 50mm lens, and the APO Lanthar can do this. 35mm? Well, what do you want a 35mm lens to do? The Voigtlander Color Skopar 35mm f/2.5 II is quite sharp, and very compact. Its compactness makes it worth keeping, for me. I have test-shot a friend’s Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.4 II MC, a lens designed to be much like the pre-aspherical Leica Summiluxes. In my opinion, these are wonderful lenses, which one will not, necessarily, “outgrow.” Cosina/Voigtlander’s “halo” M-mount lens is the Nokton 50mm f/1.0 Aspherical VM. There are entire thread topics on this lens, in the M Lenses section of this forum, so, I am not going into extensive detail. This one combines the exterior aesthetic of the original f/1.2 Noctilux, with some optical aspects of the later f/1 Noctilux lenses. Again, I favor the Summilux-M 50mm ASPH, but there are times this Nokton has a role that it can play. Edited October 29, 2024 by RexGig0 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMPerona Posted October 30, 2024 Author Share #14 Posted October 30, 2024 So, this is what I got in the end, the 35mmnVoigtländer Ultron f2. I will take it out and take a few pictures to test it before reviewing it. I love how it combines well with the M10. Welcome, dear visitor!

kivis Posted November 1, 2024 Share #17 Posted November 1, 2024 My CV of choice is the 35mm f1.5 ii VM MC. Just an awesome lens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wwin Posted November 1, 2024 Share #18 Posted November 1, 2024 I own since a couple off days the Nokton 40mm f1.4 MC and i love it!! i also have the 50mm f1.5 version 2 and this lens is also very good but i prefer the 40mm lens ☺️ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wwin Posted November 2, 2024 Share #19 Posted November 2, 2024 Is there anyone who owning the Voigtlander Nokton 75mm f1.5 lens? i’m thinking off using it next to my 40mm lens. I’m now looking at reviews on the internet butt maybe there is someone in this group who have the lens and can tell me something more about this lens?

GFW2-SCUSA Posted November 3, 2024 Share #20 Posted November 3, 2024 I have the Nokton 75mm and find it to be a very well build, solid lens that balances well with the M-10 and is sharp, but not brutally so. I like it, but find I use my 90mm macro more mostly because it is to tiny and I can carry it in my pocket. Not a lot of help, but I wouldn't hesitate to get the Nokton if that is the focal length you want. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
