#1 for me. Smoothest bokeh in the details I compared. No idea what it could be, though.

 

[magicianhisoka]

I'm voter 101! Looking forward to the great revelation.

 

[MCTuomey]

Interesting, the bokeh comments. I voted #1 as the C-Biogon for the pic's bokeh and contrast, both of which I found superior in the C-Biogon I owned. Of course, I'll shortly be proved wrong. 😉

ok Nigel, yer killing us with suspense ....

 

[enenrf]

I like #1, #4 is the runner-up.

I like #2 the best. It seems the lowest in contrast to my eyes.

 

[bwcolor]

#1. C Biogon

 

[Nigel Meaby]

Sorry to keep everyone waiting I've been asleep over here in the UK while you've continued to speculate 😀

The results are:

1. C Biogon
2. Summilux pre
3. Summarit
4. Nokton ver 2

Maybe as was suggested I'll do a black and white comparison too when I get a chance.

 

[Austerby]

Interesting - lots of people liked image 1 and thought it was the C-Biogon and they were right. This is by far the clearest result that I can recall from this sort of exercise.

 

[Nigel Meaby]

Yes good call I will try to keep the framing accuracy tighter next time. A tripod will be used by me with an M body for the first time 😀

 

[MCTuomey]

1- biogon
2- lux
3- summarit
4- nokton

A blind squirrel finds a nut.

So Nigel
Have You decided which 35's
In your Arsenal
You will Keep ?

fantastic thread! I couldn't discern very much over the image other than the slight differences in out of focus areas and a little bit of flatness in the horizon shot... there isn't too much standing in-between these lenses at 2.8.... it'll be sub 2 where it counts 😉

 

[Turtle]

Keep them all! The Leica lenses will only go up in value anyway....

 

[sanmich]

My guess is No1 is the Biogon-c because of the lack of distortion.
Now, I'm not sure I don't see distortion in No1, nor that the distortion is that consequent in the rest.
Heck, I don't even know if the Biogon-c is exempt of distortion...🙄

How uneducated a guess can be?? :angel:

Well ... my Biogon, I think it's value just went up? lol 😉

I probably will just do that for now. When I'm really broke I'll sell a couple 😀

I'll see if I can squeeze f2 out of the biogon and summarit 😀
