35/1.4 vs 40/1.4 Nokton ?

[sebastel]

Why should I exchange me CV for a Rokkor ?

because the wetzlar garden gnomes have put some magical "leica glow" powder into the 40mm summicron, which was perfectly copied by those minolta engineers ....

That was leica poetry!

I have a 40mm Rokkor and it renders highlights in black and white in a truely outstanding way. At F2 the bokeh is fantastic with a nice subtle transition that a lot of modern lens have lost with their clinical rendition of out of focus areas.

I have often wondered how close the Rokkor is to the Version 4 summicron?

My 40/1.4 is fast becoming my favorite lens. I am using in on my ZM and makes a nice combo for traveling and family events.

Shot with my 40/1.4 on Neopan 1600.

I need to use the focal 70-80mm to shoot portraits and street photography, but I do with my micro4/3 Lumix GF1 with adapter for Leica M-mount (the conversion is 2x).
I am very interested in these two beautiful lens.
Do you think that can work well on GF1?
Thanks in advance.😉

I'm to thinking of one of these lenses for my m8.
What framelines does the 40 bring on the m8?

I read the 40mm fits the m8's 35mm framelines better, but does it show them by itself. Or do you have to modify the lens??
