voightL Posted May 22, 2008 Share #22 Â Posted May 22, 2008 Charles, I do not have the 35 Summilux, so I cannot say anything with authority;) I would guess, from what I see on the Internet, that the Nokton is closer to the Noctilux than to the Summilux35 asph. Older Summiluxes - I do not know. I pair it with the Summicron 35 asph, which gives me a set of very distinct lenses in the focal length.I got the logo from Don Goldberg - I don't know if he has any left. Â Yes, it's closer to Noct then Summilux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share #25  Posted May 24, 2008 This is one miraculous lens:) It cannot match The Summilux pre-asph for size The Summilux asph for resolution and contrast The Noctilux for narrow DOF  But it can match The Summilux pre-asph for smooth bokeh The Summilux asph for lack of flare and coma The Noctilux for character  And it beats The Summilux pre-asph at resolution and coma wide open The Summilux asph at bokeh The Noctilux at low-light capability (35 vs 50 mm gains one stop in handholdablilty, it is only 1/2 a stop behind)  And the M8 framelines are pretty accurate  At under 600 Euro it must be the bargain of the century in Leica land... Will I be selling my Summicron 35 asph? Never. A different lens with different use, and more suited for general use imo.  Cheers! Welcome, dear visitor!

Michael Tyler Posted May 24, 2008 Share #26  Posted May 24, 2008  And the M8 framelines are pretty accurate   On this one I must disagree. There's a ton of extra headroom above the 35mm frameline for me. I find it not accurate at all.  Doesn't mean I don't love shooting with the Nokton (or any 35). But I crop like crazy, and chimp a lot for the important shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share #27 Â Posted May 24, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sample variation? Mine does pretty well compared to my Summicron 35 asph. It give the impression the focal length is closer to 40 mm than 35. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
