VC Nokton 40/1.4 Classic SC

[Diggin99]

Hi everyone!

I recently got the Nokton Classic S.C. and have been looking for actual test shots of what this single coated lens is capable of. In this search I happen to come across a very interesting thread on P.net and I thought some others out there might also be interested!

Here is the link!:

I am getting a Bessa T, after doing a lot of research I think that I will like this camera, its my first M mount and I am used to using seperate viewfinders so I don't see a problem with having the Bessa T. I was however also tempted to pick up the Collapsible Voigtlander 50/2 Heliar, since it has recently droped in price, but I really really should not spend more money than I already have!

Anyway, hope somebody finds the link useful and I hope to post shots of my from the Nokton Classic S.C when I finally get my Bessa T!

You wanna a Bessa T ? I got a mint one (really) with all the papers, box, etc. I haven't really thought about selling it but when someone shows interest, why not. I still have an Olive one anyway.

Hi, Diggin99. I'm a newbie and user of Bessa R-2 and Nokton 40mm f/1.4 S.C.
I found that this lens is great~

Hello, having used a 40mm M-Rokkor and 40mm Summicron-C for many years, last year I sold them and bought the CV 40mm 1.4 SC (wanted that extra stop).

My impressions are as follows (B&W only): it is a bitingly sharp lens, even wide open. The bokeh is not bad, despite what you may read. The results from it are technically beautiful, but it somehow lacks the punch of the 40mm M-Rokkor, which isn't as sharp, but isn't as sterile-feeling either. The bokeh of the Rokkor is definitely superior - it's about as smooth as it gets.

The world is sharp through the Nokton, the world is pleasant through the Rokkor.

I'm going to continue to give this lens a chance, but if a see a M-Rokkor at a good price, I'll probably revert back and use the 35mm/50mm summiluxes for low-light work.
