Compare CV 50/1.5 and Canon 50/1.4?

[Jamie Pillers]

RFFers:
Can someone here describe the differences they've seen between the Voigtlander 50/1.5 Nokton (the modern ltm version) and the Canon 50/1.4 lens? I primarily use color film, but occasionally C-41 B&W. I'm interested in color saturation, sharpness, performance wide-open... the usual stuff.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Regards,
Jamie

I remember Sean Reid comparing these lenses and others in an article once when the Epson R-D1 was new.

Since the article deals with an APS-C camera and not film, it doesn't show performance across a full-frame, but it might be useful to you for what it does show.

Thanks, Jason. I'll have a look. Much appreciated!
