First M8 Lens

in budget, CV lens maybe a good deal.
get a CV 35/1.4 SC and start shoot !
if u want wider lens later go for CV21P
or u may think about CV50/1.1
 
Jeff, for wide angle with M8 forget about 35mm and above. 28mm is a good start. The CV 15 is like 21 view on 35mm format just nice and not that extreme. The lens delivers super sharp image at f5.6 to f8 . I use it without the View finder and shooting from the hip is not a problem with this superb lens

"Characteristics" would be less accurate colors then, I guess. And you will certainly not have "more shadow details" since the lower contrast is from internal flare.

Film is another story since you don't have the same possibilities to lower contrast after the exposure.
 
Bought the 35 f/1.4 Nokton SC.

No lens is perfect... will be a great starting lens if nothing else. Needed the low light performance as Copenhagen is going to be really dark for a few months.

Well, with any sort of print or hybrid workflow you can. Slides may be different but shooting the Nokton SC for color slides doesnt make sense anway.

I say the SC is as useful for b&w film as it is for b&w digital.
