tbarker13 Posted January 18, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 18, 2008 Really wondering how this is going to render. Sure looks a lot smaller than the 35/1.2 nokton that I lug around. My dream is that it will render similar to the older 35 pre-asph summicrons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
artur5 Posted January 18, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 18, 2008 My guess is it will render more like the 50/1.5 Nokton, and not a bad thing if it was so. At less than half the price of a Summarit 35 /2.5 ( and 1.5 stops faster.. ) and considering also that Zeiss has nothing under f/2, this Nokton could be a real hit - if the QI is on a pair with the best C/V offerings-.

Maggie_O Posted January 18, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 18, 2008 A shame it's not LTM, though. A 35mm really needs to be coded and Milich adapters work so well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauribix Posted January 18, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 18, 2008 Really wondering how this is going to render. Sure looks a lot smaller than the 35/1.2 nokton that I lug around.My dream is that it will render similar to the older 35 pre-asph summicrons. Looking at the element's scheme, it seems very similar to the Summicron 35 version I, or (and i guess it was the starting point for developing the lens IMHO) the summilux 35pre-asph with one more element. So i guess (just my humble opinion) it should be very "soft", less clinical lens. And maybe that's why it's called "classic" too. It would be nice to find a lens in this segment with "dreamy-soft" carachteristics, almost the same as Zeiss does with its ZM-c lenses. Well done! best Maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted January 18, 2008 Share #7 Posted January 18, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) They are really smart in finding good niches... interesting it's with BM... in one month or two we'll see if they are codable... 75000 Yen... less than 500 Euros... wow...

etrigan63 Posted January 18, 2008 Share #8 Posted January 18, 2008 A shame it's not LTM, though. A 35mm really needs to be coded and Milich adapters work so well. John will mill the flange for you. I did this with my CV 40mm Nokton and CV 25mm Color Skopar. Not a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsonkirk Posted January 18, 2008 Share #9 Posted January 18, 2008 I understand Zeiss has also made lenses designated "C" for "classic" - perhaps made in the same Cosina facility. For the Zeiss lenses the "C" means that they're deliberately old-fashioned in their rendering (or 'drawing,' for those who insist on the term): creamy-looking at wide apertures, sharp by f5.6 or 8. Perhaps the compact design & "classic" designation means that the new Nokton will also have these qualities. Kirk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_reid Posted January 18, 2008 Share #10 Posted January 18, 2008 Yes, the C Zeiss lenses are made by Cosina. "(or 'drawing,' for those who insist on the term)" Insist? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarker13 Posted January 19, 2008 Share #11 Posted January 19, 2008 Sean, You going to get your hands on one of these anytime soon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravastar Posted January 19, 2008 Share #12 Posted January 19, 2008 Pleased to see it has the tabs/wings on the aperture ring. Focal length 35mm, aperture range 1.4 - 16, number of aperture blades 10, shortest focus distance 0.7m, rangefinder coupling 0.7m - infinity, filter size 43mm, weight 200g, hood LH-6 that's the vented one. It's overall dimensions are very similar to the 40mm Nokton. If the mount is the same as the 40mm there will be a screw where the 6-bit coding needs to go. Bob.

vanhulsenbeek Posted January 19, 2008 Share #13 Posted January 19, 2008 If the mount is the same as the 40mm there will be a screw where the 6-bit coding needs to go. If it uses the mount of the 35 Pancake Skopar II there will be a screw as well. But I filled it up , at the right spot, with a dab of black paint and hand coded with no problem.

tbarker13 Posted January 19, 2008 Share #14 Posted January 19, 2008 I find it interesting that this lens has generated now 8 pages of commentary over on the RF forum. It seems to be getting a different reception here. Of course, this is the Leica forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbretteville Posted January 20, 2008 Share #18 Posted January 20, 2008 Looks like a nice piece of kit. It will be interesting to see a comparison to the 35 lux asph and how it does in back focusing tests. Here is a higherres image - C Welcome, dear visitor!

ErikFive Posted January 21, 2008 Share #19 Posted January 21, 2008 I have ordered one from Chiif. Guess the used Lux ASPH price will go down now. Except in this forum of course Im getting the MC version. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauribix Posted January 21, 2008 Share #20 Posted January 21, 2008 @ Erik and Carl: Do you really think that it's gonna challenge with the 35lux asph?Where's the nokton gonna end in this case? best Maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
