CV 35mm/f1.7 - what about it?

[photogdave]

It's been my main lens for almost three years now. I really like its smooth rendering and the feel of the focus ring. As others have said the minimum focus distance has been an occasional problem.
I will buy the new 35 1.4 but I won't sell the Ultron right away...

A fantastic lens, with a very pleasing combination of extreme sharpness and moderate contrast. Works aces with my M8.

Here are some of my photos with it.

FREAKY!

Weird, I've got 457 photos tagged with that lens.

I blame Microsoft and their takeover bid! 😱

Like most of the commentators on this thread, I have been very happy with this lens on my R-D1. The lower contrast works well with the camera's image sensor. To my eye, the bokeh is nice and smooth. Regarding size, the 35mm Ultron is half way between a small lens like the Skopars and a large lens like the 28mm Ultron or 50mm Nokton.

If the 35mm Nokton does not demonstrate clear optical superiority, the Ultron will remain a smart buy for those who can live with a f/1.7 aperture. Personally, I usually shoot at f/2 in low light.
